Note: Using your 4G service and Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot drains your device’s
battery at a much faster rate than when using any other feature
combination.
The best way to keep using the device as a hotspot is to have it
connected to a power supply.
To connect to the Hotspot:
1. Enable Wi-Fi (wireless) functionality on your target device
(laptop, media device, etc.).

2. Scan for Wi-Fi networks from the device and select your
device hotspot from the network list.
The SSID name for your device’s hotspot is determined by what you
entered into the Network SSID field.
You can change the name by tapping Configure portable Wi-Fi
hotspot ➔ Network SSID and changing the entry.
3. Select this Hotspot and follow your on-screen instructions
to complete the connection.
4. Launch your Web browser to confirm you have an Internet
connection.
To secure the Portable Hotspot service:
The two most common methods for securing your connection to
the Hotspot are to a security method (WPA2 PSK) and to Hide
your device’s SSID name.
1. From a Home screen, tap (Apps) ➔ (Settings)
2.
➔ Wireless and networks ➔ Tethering and portable hotspot
➔ Configure portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
Tap the Security field and select a Security option (Open,
WPA-PSK, WPA2 PSK).
3. With security enabled, enter a new password into the
Password field.
Important!: The more complex the password, the harder it will be for
intruders to break your security. It is recommended that you not
use names, birthdays, or other personal information.
4. Tap Save to store the new settings.
