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 Mobile HotSpot ➔ 

Configure ➔ 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.

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 ➔ 

 

(Mobile HotSpot). 

2. Tap Mobile HotSpot ➔ Configure.

3. Tap the Security field and select WPA2 PSK.

4. 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.

5. Tap Save to store the new settings.
