How to distribute Wi-Fi from a tablet: connecting the tablet to the Internet

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

Connect your tablet to the Internet

First of all, it should be understood that in order to distribute the Internet from a tablet as Wi-Fi, you need to connect to a network that is different from another Wi-Fi point. That is, distributing the network from a tablet that is connected to another router will not work.

Thus, we conclude 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 that, go to the 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 vary slightly. Usually it is not difficult to find it; the characteristic icon next to the name will also help. In addition, you can check for a connection by looking at the top panel where the network symbol should appear - 3G or LTE. If the network is bad, the letter E may also appear.

After the network connection has been completed, you can proceed to distribute Wi-Fi.

Instructions: how to distribute Wi-Fi from a tablet

Now you need to activate the Wi-Fi on the device itself. After that, we begin to turn the device into an impromptu modem.

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

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

After that, you can establish a connection. For example, with a smartphone. On the second gadget, you need to activate the Wi-Fi function and start the search. 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 it remains only to wait a bit, after which the network connection will occur automatically.

Important! Please note that if the device “remembers” the Wi-Fi point, then the password will have to be entered only for the first time - in subsequent devices will connect by themselves when the modem mode is activated on the tablet and the Wi-Fi function on the other device.

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