How to distribute Wi-Fi from a tablet

Using your tablet, you can view any media files, work, enjoy your favorite movies or TV series, as well as read books and download new files. But to fully use all these functions, you need an Internet connection. In addition, the device is capable of distributing Wi-Fi and serving as a router for other gadgets. How to connect to the network yourself, what is needed for this and what difficulties may arise in the process?

Connecting the tablet to the Internet

First of all, you should understand that in order to distribute the Internet from a tablet using the Wi-Fi type, you need to connect to a network different from another Wi-Fi point. That is, you won’t be able to distribute the network from a tablet that is connected to another router.

Thus, we come to the conclusion that only a device that has a SIM card slot and an Internet connection can serve as a router. Before distributing the network, connect the tablet to the mobile Internet of any existing provider. After this, you need to go to settings and activate the “Mobile network” function.

Important! Please note that depending on the model and manufacturer of the device, the name of this function in the settings may differ slightly. Usually it is not difficult to find it; the characteristic icon next to the name will also help. Additionally, you can check for connectivity by looking at the top bar, where a network symbol should appear - 3G or LTE.If the network is bad, the letter E may also appear.

Once the connection to the network has been completed, you can begin distributing Wi-Fi.

Now you need to activate Wi-Fi on the device itself. After this, we proceed to transform the device into an improvised modem.

To do this, you need to find the “Data transfer” item in the settings. After that, select “Tethering Mode” and “Wi-Fi Hotspot”. Here you need to activate this function by moving the slider to the right.

The last step will be to create that same access point. In the window that appears, there are several input fields where you need to enter the name of the network (you can come up with it yourself or use the name of the tablet and its model code), and also come up with a password. This data will be needed to connect any other device to your tablet's network.

After this, you can establish a connection. For example, with a smartphone. On the second gadget you need to activate the Wi-Fi function and start searching. In the list of available devices that opens, select the name of your new access point and click on it. After that, enter the specified password. Now all you have to do is wait a little, after which the connection to the network will occur automatically.

Important! Please note that if the device “remembers” the Wi-Fi point, you will only have to enter the password the first time - the next time the device will connect on its own when you activate the modem mode on the tablet and the Wi-Fi function on another device.

Now you know how you can distribute the Internet using a tablet and what you need to set up your own access point. This is not so difficult to do, so any ordinary user who does not have deep knowledge of technology can cope with the task.This feature is extremely useful and may be needed if the Internet suddenly disappears or stops working on one of the devices, and the necessary data is stored only there.
