Create a Wi-Fi hotspot
If you have a Wi-Fi-only device you want
to connect to the internet when you’re
out and about, like a laptop, you can do
so via your Galaxy. Simply create a Wi-Fi
‘hotspot’ using your Galaxy and then
connect to it with the Wi-Fi-only device.
In Settings, under Network
Connections, tap on Tethering and Wi-Fi
Hotspot. Use the slider to turn Portable
Wi-Fi hotspot on, then make a note of
the password and use it in your other
device to connect.
Tethering via Bluetooth
As well as using Wi-Fi to allow other devices to share your Galaxy’s
internet connection, you can also use Bluetooth in the same way .
The setting is similar to using Wi-Fi.
To get the Bluetooth method to work, go to Setting s and
tap on the Tethering and Wi-Fi Hotspot option under Network
Connections. Next you need to tick the box next to Bluetooth
Tethering. This will turn Bluetooth on and any device that’s paired
with your Galaxy will be able to get to the internet through the
connection – pretty impressive.
