This feature allows you to turn your phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot.
The feature works best when used in conjunction with 3G data
services.

Wi-Fi. Close your Wi-Fi connection prior to launching the Mobile
AP service.

have it connected to a power supply.

(laptop, media device, etc.).

Scan for Wi-Fi networks from the device and select your
phone hotspot from the network list.

complete the connection.
