Hello friends! Your humble servant is back in touch. And today we will have a very life story. It began very well, but ended very unexpectedly and not cool. In short, the author himself was shocked how this happened.

Therefore, read this article to the end to find out how and at the same time do not get on the big money.

And on the way, my friend had to use the services of "Client-Bank" in order to make some kind of payment. Since he works for himself, efficiency was very important for him at that moment.

Along the way, it turned out that "quite by accident" for this case, he took a laptop with him. It was only necessary to connect it to the Internet. But how to do this while driving on the highway in a car? Yes, a very interesting task turns out:

As a result, it turned out that this was not a problem at all. And the old one helped us Samsung Galaxy Ace based operating system Android 2.1... By the way, if you remember, it greatly facilitated testing the wireless access point.

So, we decided to distribute mobile 3G Internet via Wi-Fi to a laptop. After all, as it turned out, doing this is easy. See for yourself. To do this, we go on the phone along the way " Settings - Wireless network - Modem and access point ":

In the window that opens, you need to activate the "Portable access point" item, and then select the "WI-FI access point" section. After that, click on "Configure WiFi access point" and specify the network name, encryption type, password:

If you use modern smartphone on Android base version 4 and higher, then you need to make all the above simple settings in the "Settings - More - Modem mode" section:

This completes all the settings for distributing Wi-Fi from the phone to the laptop. As you can see, everything about everything took us about fifteen seconds. Now you can safely use it. To do this, we are looking for our wireless network on the computer:

We connect, work and enjoy. Rather, my friend worked and was happy, since I was driving all this time. In general, he coped with his affairs pretty quickly. After that, on my phone, I started navigation software with online services active in the background.

And all downloads over the limit are very expensive. As a result, it turned out that, apparently, immediately on the laptop, some programs secretly went online, then navigation with its "gadgets" helped. And here is the result - a considerable debt for the phone:

Although, to be honest, it is not that big and turned out to be big. But you, dear readers, still need to be warned so that you do not step on the same rake. As you can see, the author of the article has already filled all the bumps for you. 😉

It will also be useful to say that in Android version version 4 has a built-in function that can save you from such surprises. To do this, you need to follow the path "Settings - Data transfer - Mobile. Networks":

And activate the "Set limit" option. After that, you can specify the amount of allowed traffic for a certain period of time. But what is there to say a lot, the system itself will tell and show everything:

Well, an article about how distribute Wi-Fi from phone to laptop comes to the end. As you can see, everything is very simple. But if suddenly something you do not understand, ask questions in the comments.

In the meantime, I suggest you listen to one of the golden hits of my youth. Eh, there was a time, there were ...

Suppose your smartphone has a high-speed unlimited Internet and you want to distribute it to other devices, for example: a tablet. How to turn your phone into Wifi hotspot access?

Everything is very simple.

1. Go to the phone settings and check that we have enabled mobile Internet. Then we go to additional settings by clicking on the "More ..."

2. In the menu section that opens, select the item "Personal access point" and then put a daw that allows you to distribute the Internet to other devices.

3. Next, select the "Use WLAN connection" mode and it would seem that the access point is configured. This is true, but in this moment it is insecure because it does not have a password, but is open and susceptible to hacker attacks. To ensure security, click on the "Configure the main point of the wireless network" button.

4. In the settings, we call our point by normal and in the security section from the drop-down list, select any other security level WPA PSK or WPA2 PSK instead of "open". Then we enter the password and save the changed settings.

Today, most devices have access to the Internet, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, computers and even televisions. Many people have high-speed internet at home and a Wi-Fi router that can distribute the internet to all devices in the house. But what if the router is broken or you are not at home, and you urgently need the Internet? It's easy! If you have a smartphone or tablet on Android with Internet access at your fingertips. Setting up an access point is easy.

What is an access point

Before turning a smartphone into a router, let's figure out what a Wi-Fi access point is.

A Wi-Fi access point is also called a wireless access point - a device that acts as a router that is used to create a wireless Wi-Fi networks... In other words, having a Wi-Fi access point, we have the ability to connect to the Internet.

What is necessary

You should know that to distribute Wi-Fi from an Android device, you need a smartphone or tablet running on the Android operating system. In turn, it must have two network standards, such as a 3G (GSM) or 4G (LTE) interface and a Wi-Fi modulator. Today, almost any smartphone or tablet has the necessary components. But you should be aware that not every smartphone or tablet may work. There are phones without a Wi-Fi modulator and tablets without a 3G (GSM) or 4G (LTE) interface. Therefore, before you start creating an access point, make sure that your phone is technically suitable.

How to set up a Wi-Fi hotspot on Android and distribute the Internet

After we have made sure that our Android device is suitable in terms of technical parameters and has an Internet connection, we will start creating an access point. In this article, as an example, consider Lenovo smartphone A536.

1. In the smartphone menu, open "Settings":
2. In the "Wireless networks" menu, select "More":
3. Here we select "Distribution mobile internet»:
4. In the window that appears, you need to move the "WLAN access point" slider to the right:
5. We will see that our access point has become active, and the slider has moved to the right. Next, we will need to set the basic parameters for our access point. To do this, select "WLAN access point":
6. In another window, we will see the basic settings of the access point. For further customization select the item "Configuring the WLAN access point":
7. Here parameters such as network name, security, password are set. After assigning a name and password, click "Save":

Keep in mind, the password 87654321 in this article is just an example. You can set any password. And you should be aware that the length of the password for WPA 2 protection must be at least 8 characters.

After entering the network name and password, return to the fourth window (fourth point of the instruction) and make sure that the slider on "WLAN access point" is in the right, turned on position. If it is disabled, then you should enable it.

Note: if you want to connect a computer with operating system Windows XP Service Pack 2, you will need to select WPA PSK protection. Since Windows XP Service Pack 2 is incompatible with WPA 2 PSK security!

How to disable distribution

To disable the access point, in the "Mobile Internet distribution" menu, move the "WLAN access point" slider to the left:

Note: the next time you create an access point, you will not need to configure the access point again, it will be enough to turn it on.

So we learned how to distribute the Internet using your smartphone. Some item names may differ depending on the Android version and smartphone model, but the principle is the same everywhere.

Possible connection problems

Let's consider the common problems and their solutions related to the creation of an access point:

• Unable to assign a password to the access point

Most likely you have used less than eight characters. A minimum of eight is required.

• Can't connect to the access point from another device

You may have entered an incorrect password. Check back and try again.

• The phone is connected to an access point, but the internet is slow or not working

Make sure that the device on which the access point was created has Internet access and is within the network coverage area, and the connected devices are not too far from the access point.

• The access point turns off by itself

This is most likely due to the fact that no device is connected to the access point. In case of inactivity for a certain time, our access point is automatically turned off. The idle time can be set in the access point settings:

The most common problems that could arise when creating an access point were considered. Otherwise, there shouldn't be any difficulties.

By following the instructions in this article, you can easily create an access point that anyone can connect to. Now you or your friends will always have a mini-router at hand, with the help of which you will not limit yourself to the Internet.

There are situations when the Internet is urgently needed, and it is, for example, only on a friend's smartphone, fortunately in any modern mobile device Lenovo has a modem function. This is a pretty useful "trick" that helps to distribute the Internet to nearby devices, such as other smartphones or even a laptop. Moreover, you can connect at the same time even from a dozen devices, the main thing is that the Internet speed is enough for everyone. This function is quite simple to use. You can learn more about how to distribute Wi-Fi on Lenovo in the instructions below.

In order to distribute Wi-Fi from a smartphone or Lenovo tablet, you need to perform a series of simple actions. The first thing you need is to connect to the mobile Internet, from it and there is a network that we are going to give away. For a stable speed, it is recommended to connect to 3G or 4G, as simple mobile Internet is quite slow.

This is done differently in different firmwares and smartphone models, but in each case, you first need to go to “ Settings", Then click on the menu item" Yet". Further, depending on the firmware version, there may be different items: in one of the OS versions, the item is called " Modem mode", In others it is" WLAN hotspot" or " Personal hotspot". One way or another, the same function is hidden under this item, it is this function that allows you to make the distribution of the Internet work.

How to set up an access point will be discussed in more detail later.

Using settings

The modem function works on almost any smartphones, this applies even to fairly old models. So, even on Lenovo A1000 Wi-Fi distribution carried out without the slightest problems and interruptions.

To safely enable access points on Lenovo, you first need to set a password and change other settings. If this is not done, then anyone can connect, which means that this user will be able to waste your precious traffic or, even worse, try to enter the device and steal any data.

Setting a password and other parameters

You can set a password on any smartphones of the company, but let's look at how this is done on the Lenovo S860 and its younger model S850.

After setting up the access point, the choice of the distribution method pops up, we need " Use WLAN connection". The next menu will open, there you need to click on " Configure Primary Wireless Point". Next, a window will appear in which you need to enter the desired name of the access point, its password and protection method, including WPA2 PSK and WPA PSK. When all the data has been entered, you need to click on the " Save».

After these simple manipulations, the Wi-Fi access point is ready and, importantly, protected from third-party interference. Now you can freely distribute the Internet to everyone to whom you provide your password.

However, this is not the only way to distribute the Internet. You can do this using third-party programs.

Using third-party programs

We examined the basic way of how to distribute Wi-Fi on the phone, however, using third party applications everything can turn out faster. Some programs even increase the reliability of the connection. This will be useful to the distributor from Lenovo's phone, since no one can hack it, even if they try.

Osmino

Osmino is one of the most popular hotspot applications. This application allows just a couple of clicks to create a protected point from which you can distribute Wi-Fi.

You no longer need to think about how to distribute the Internet from Lenovo. All that is required is to download a small application, install it and run it. After that, the access point settings will open. There you can enter your nickname and the desired password, after that you need to press the button " Distribute". These actions will launch the Internet Sharing from your smartphone.

The app is pretty lightweight and will run on any device from the company, including Lenovo A5000.

Today, an experienced user shouldn't have any difficulties in setting up the distribution of the Internet via Wi-Fi from a tablet. To do this, you just need to turn on the Internet connection on the tablet, and then make an access point out of the gadget.

How to connect the Internet on the tablet

First of all, you need to remember that with this method of organizing connections, connecting the tablet to another WiFi networks will not work with the Internet. Thus, it is necessary that the tablet has a suitable SIM card slot, which will allow you to configure the connection to the mobile Internet of the telecom operator. Another way is to use an external USB modem that can connect to 2G or 3G networks. In this case, you will need to find out from the operator the settings of the mobile Internet, and then activate the data transfer in the settings menu. This function may have different names depending on the tablet model, but most often this menu item is called "Mobile networks".

We start the distribution of the Internet via WiFi

At this stage, we need to turn our mobile device into WiFi modem... First of all, we activate in the menu Wi-Fi settings... Further, the settings we need are hidden in the "Data transfer" item. There you need to tap on "More", then enter "Modem Mode" by clicking on this inscription.

At the next stage, select the "Wi-Fi access point" sub-item.

By moving the slider on the line "Wi-Fi hotspot" to the "on" position, we activate the modem mode.

So, the modem mode is active, now there is the final touch - setting up the access point. You need to go to the settings section "Wi-Fi access point settings". A window will appear on the screen where you should enter the name of the wireless network (the "SSID network name" field) at your discretion, using the Latin alphabet. In the second field "Password" you need to set a password for accessing the network, by entering which on the connected device you will be able to use the Internet. This password should not be shared with neighbors, as they can easily use your Internet connection.
