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.
