Tethering and Mobile HotSpot
This section covers procedures for both the Mobile HotSpot
and USB tethering functionality.
Mobile HotSpot
This feature allows you to turn your device into a Wi-Fi
hotspot. The feature works best when used in conjunction
with 4G/LTE data services (although 3G service can also be
used).
The Mobile HotSpot connectivity is a wireless version of this
same functionality and allows you to provide Internet
connectivity to multiple devices.
Important! The Mobile HotSpot service cannot be active when
device is connected to Wi-Fi. Please disconnect
your Wi-Fi connection prior to active this service.
