Most laptops and tablets can only access the Internet if there is a Wi-Fi access point nearby. If there is no Wi-Fi nearby, then all these gadgets lose most of their functionality. Are you unable to access the Internet, but you urgently need to check your email? There is a way out if you own a smartphone.
This method will help you out if there is not only a wired Internet nearby, but even a router is not observed. Such conditions may arise if you travel, for example, out of town. There is one small "but" - you should worry in advance and make yourself the cheapest traffic. Ideal if it is unlimited. The point is that your phone will act as a gateway between 3G and Wi-Fi.
How to make an Internet access point on a regular smartphone? If your device is running Android 2.2 or any later version, then most likely the hotspot function is already built in. Otherwise, you will have to find and download a program that will provide your gadget with such a function. Once this program is installed, you need to carry out a number of the following steps.
Go to the phone menu, select "Settings" and find the "Advanced" button. Next, you need to find "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot". This option is located in different places for different phone models. Look it up, you might find it under the "Wireless" or "Modem and Access Point" tab. Once the option is found, you must select "Access Point Settings".
Now you can set up a wireless network, thanks to which you can easily connect your tablet or laptop to the Internet.
