You can change the name of your phone’s Wi-Fi network (SSID) and secure
your portable Wi-Fi hotspot.

2. Set your name and security options as follows:
• Network name: Enter or edit a network SSID (name) that other devices
see when scanning for Wi-Fi networks.
• Channel: To avoid interference with other Wi-Fi networks, try using a
different channel.

PSK (other users can access your mobile hotspot only if they enter the
correct password). When you select WPA2 PSK, tap the Password eld to
edit the security password.
3. Tap SAVE to save your settings.
Connecting to virtual private networks
Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow you to connect to the resources inside
a secured local network. VPNs are commonly deployed by corporations,
schools, and other institutions to let people access local network resources
when not on campus, or when connected to a wireless network.
Depending on the type of VPN you are using, you may be required to enter
your login credentials or install security certicates before you can connect to
your VPN. You can get this information from your network administrator.
Note: You need to set a lock screen pattern, PIN, or password before you can
use credential storage.
Sharing your mobile data connection via USB
You can access the Internet on your computer via the USB tethering feature
of your phone. The feature needs data connection on a mobile network and

USB while the phone is USB tethered.
1. Connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable.
2. Press the Home key > > Settings > More > USB tethering.
3. A new network connection will be created on your computer.
Note: To stop sharing your data connection, tap USB tethering again or
disconnect the USB cable.
Sharing your mobile data connection as a mobile hotspot

your phone’s Wi-Fi capability to access the Internet. You still remain connected
to the Internet via your mobile data network.
