11.11 How do I set a static IP address for my phone to
connect to a Wi-Fi network?
Go to
Settings
>
Wireless & networks
>
Wi-Fi
. On the
Wi-Fi
screen, touch a hotspot. In the
displayed dialog box, select
Show advanced options
. In the IP settings, select
Static
. Enter
the IP address (mostly 192.168.1.xxx), gateway address (mostly 192.168.1.1), subnet mask or
network mask (255.255.255.0), and domain name (DNS address).
You have to wait for Wi-Fi network connection, because after your phone is connected to a
router, it obtains a dynamic IP address, which consumes time. By specifying a static IP
address for your phone, this issue is solved.
11.12 How do I set the modem function of my phone to
connect to the computer?
Go to
Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Tethering & portable hotspot
and enable
USB tethering
.
On a computer, use HiSuite to install the USB driver for your phone. Right-click
My
Computer
and choose
Manage
. The screen displays the new network adapter.
When using USB tethering, your phone's mobile data connection must be turned on. Otherwise, your
phone can't provide Internet access for computers.
If the computer provides a wireless network adapter, you can turn on
Portable Wi-Fi hotspot
under
Settings
>
Wireless & Networks
>
More
>
Tethering & portable hotspot
on your
phone. Then the computer can connect to your phone over Wi-Fi to access the Internet.
Currently, this function is available to computers running Windows.
11.13 What are the differences between FDD and TDD?
TDD-LTE means Time-division Long Term Evolution, and FDD-LTE means Frequency-Division
Long-Term Evolution.
To be simple, TDD-LTE distributes the network resources to different
users at different times, while FDD-LTE distributes the network resources to different users
with different frequencies. TDD-LTE and FDD-LTE both belong to LTE, which is the name
given by the 3GPP for the next generation of telecommunication standards.
11.14 Does my phone support SIM card hot swapping?
No.
