Tethered Connection
To connect the mobile router to the USB port on your computer:
Attach one end of the USB (type C) cable to the mobile router and plug the other end into the USB port
on your computer.
Your computer automatically connects to the mobile router LAN (local area network). The first time you
connect this way, your computer might display notifications about detecting a new device.
If you want to use data offloading with a tethered connection, use WiFi offloading
instead of Ethernet offloading. Tethered access is not supported during Ethernet
offloading. For more information about offloading, see
on page 30.
