Do not Automatically Install Driver for USB
Tethering

By default, a host driver is installed the first time you connect your mobile hotspot to
the computer via the USB cable. This driver enables the mobile hotspot to connect to
the Internet when it is tethered to a USB port on the computer via the USB cable
instead of using the Wi-Fi network.

If you do not want to use this feature and want to use the USB cable only to charge the
mobile hotspot battery, you can set the host driver not to install.

To set the host driver not to install:

1.

On the homepage, click the Advanced Settings icon (

).

2.

On the Device > Basic tab, beside Automatically install host driver for USB
tethering, select No.

3.

Click Save.
