Android-based mobile devices have the ability to distribute mobile Internet. This function is registered as “Access Point” or “Mobile Wi-fi Router”.

Let's take a closer look at the options for distributing the network from a telephone, laptop and PC.

Ways to distribute a Wi-fi network from a smartphone

And so, let's figure out how to distribute Wi-Fi using a telephone device. In fact, it is simple and quite convenient.

The battery does not drain with this connection, which is already an advantage.

First you need to connect the Internet on your phone and wait until the corresponding icon on the screen lights up.

Search in settings « Wireless & networks”, / “More”. A window appeared in which it is advised to set the router settings.

We leave the security settings with the designation WPA2. And we come up with a password. We put a mark next to the inscription "Mobile Wi-fi router" / "OK".

An access point has been created. Now you need to connect any device to it.

Tablet connection

We perform the following actions:

• We connect wi-fi.
• We go to the list of available networks created by us on the phone.
• We choose it.
• Click connect.

Connecting a laptop

• Select a given network.
• We enter our password.
• Internet access is allowed.

Smartphone connection

• Activate wi-fi in the tablet.
• In the list of networks we find the one that was recently created on the phone.
• We right-click on it.
• In the window that opens, enter the password.
• To plug.

If you need information about the number of connected users, use the "User management" menu item. Also, you can connect a router. To do this, remove the bird near the inscription "mobile wi-fi router".

Now let's look at how to distribute Wi-Fi from your phone to your computer. And to do this is quite simple.

If you do not install this type of access for yourself, you should understand that now more money will be spent on the Internet, so you should think about switching to traffic with unlimited access.

Turn on your phone and set its options. To do this, go to the "More" item. Then set the tethering mode and then turn on the hotspot. Now the network will be visible on any interface.

When the Wi-Fi connection function is enabled on the computer, and the phone acts only as a modem, the monitor will display the network with the signed name that was previously set.

Now the computer will connect to the Internet through the phone. Instead, the phone screen will show that the computer is interfaced with the network.

Setting up a connection using additional programs

In the case when it is not possible to configure the connection in the standard way, you can try to resort to using additional programs.

Such is Osmino. Download it through the Google Play app.

We install the application. After power on, set the name and password for the network. It is better to configure in such a way that there would always be a password.

We connect to the access point, before that you must turn on the Internet. In order to turn off the return of the network later, you just need to drag the cursor and turn off the Internet.

Phone - modem selling Internet via USB

In order to work using usb as a Wi-Fi, you need to ensure the presence of a Bluetooth module. Most often, it is already in your laptop.

Before work, you need to check again if the phone works as best we can. To do this, go to the control panel to the sub-item "display large icons"

And add a phone as a modem to the system. To do this, follow the path "Devices and Printers" / "Adding a device".

The system will start looking for devices available for inclusion in the network online. When your phone is found, click on it and wait until a window with an 8-digit code appears. This is the sync password

Now we are waiting for the drivers to be installed. Upon completion of the process, we move along the path "Control Panel" / "Phone and Modem".

A window will appear in which we enter the city code, after entering any three digits it goes to the "Modems" tab. Here we click on the configuration of our phone and in the “properties” tab we come to “additional parameters”, in which you need to enter data for the mobile operator.

Now you need to create a connection via Bluetooth, like a modem.

"Control Panel / Network and Sharing Center" / "Create a new connection or network" / "Set up a telephone connection".

Next, we enter the information standard for all telephone operators. Used number - *99# Username - not specified; Password - not specified; Connection name - the name that will be displayed in your connection list.

Click on the connect button. All is ready.
