How to distribute Wi-Fi with iPhone, with iPad? How to distribute the Internet from an iPhone or from an iPad to a computer?
Sometimes we urgently need access to the Internet for an iPad, but there is no SIM card with us and Wi-Fi is not available. But then in your pocket lies the iPhone from which you can distribute the Internet.
iPhone is a universal device that is capable of a lot. This is a small computer that performs many tasks. Many people use it as a camera, someone as a portable game console, and some just listen to music on it. But sometimes he cannot perform different operations due to circumstances. For example, watch a movie or do a job in Word or Excel.
Often, big books are easier to read from a tablet or laptop. But for lack of a USB modem or simply the absence of it nearby, you will help the iPhone. So, let's discuss how to distribute Wi-Fi through the iPhone.
First of all, deal with the tariff plan. It is better to connect unlimited so that you don’t have to think about traffic. It is also worth taking into account the current speed of the Internet. It is better, of course, to be in the LTE zone, well, or at least 3G. Due to the fact that LTE has a great speed, you will have no discomfort when using the Internet. Of course, theoretically, 3G is able to give a good connection, but it is already inconvenient to view the video in high quality or loading heavy sites.
How to configure the phone?
Choose your favorite company and tariff, and after that you can calmly nourish the operation to configure and distribute the Internet through the iPhone.
If you have a version of the system 7 or 8, then:
- Go to the settings
- Select "Cellular Communication"
- Activate the work of mobile data
- Wait a few minutes
- When in the parameters, finally the “modem mode” will be displayed in it
- In the "Wi-Fi" password section, do a new password
- Now activate the modem mode
All is ready. To connect another device to the network, you have to click by the name of the connection from the available list.
The disadvantage of this method is high energy consumption, so the battery is discharged very quickly. But when connecting it to nutrition, this trouble will disappear.
- After using the Internet, turn off the option:
- Go to the mobile settings menu
- Move the slider opposite the line "Cell data"
- Also, so that the Internet continues to work on the phone, disconnect the modem mode itself
Now the distribution has stopped working, but the Internet is possible to sit from the iPhone.
