Wi-Fi Hotspot
You can make your smartphone a Wi-Fi hotspot to provide portable, convenient Internet access to other
Wi-Fi enabled devices.
Caution: This application significantly impacts battery life. You may want to run this application with the
charger connected.
Note: You need to subscribe to Wi-Fi hotspot service to use this feature. Contact your carrier for more
details.
To set up your smartphone as a Wi-Fi hotspot:
1. Touch > Settings > Network & Internet > Hotspot & Tethering > portable Wi-Fi hotspot to
turn on the hotspot.
2. Touch Set up Wi-Fi hotspot to change hotspot security and configuration settings:
o Network name: Enter a unique name for your hotspot and touch Next.
o Security: Select the type of security you want: WEP, WPA, or WPA2. Enter a unique
password. Other users can access your Wi-Fi hotspot only if they enter the correct
password.
Note: Keep it secure. To protect your smartphone and hotspot from unauthorized
access, it is strongly recommended that you set up hotspot Security (WPA2 is the most
secure), including password.
3. Touch Save when the settings are complete.
When your Wi-Fi hotspot is active, other Wi-Fi enabled devices can connect by entering your hotspot’s
SSID, selecting a Security type, and entering the correct Password.
Troubleshooting
Unable to establish connection with the phone
The wireless network may not be in range or has too of a weak signal to provide a successful
connection. Check the signal bar to ensure you have strong connection.
Re-enter the key on the phone to match the key configured on the router. Make sure that the
encryption type and security settings match on the router and phone.
If WEP encryption is in use, check that the key configured on the router matches the key
entered on the phone.
The wireless network you're attempting to connect to may be configured for static IP addresses
only. Check with the system administrator for an IP address assignment.
Unplug the power from your router, turn the phone off. Plug back in your router first, then wait
for 1 minute and then turn on your phone.
