Offload Your Mobile Internet Connection
Data offloading, also known as Data Saver, lets you transfer the mobile router’s Internet
connection from mobile broadband to another WiFi or Ethernet connection. Data
offloading reduces the amount of data that you are using on the cellular connection.
You might want to use this feature if you are in an area in which many others are using
cellular connections at the same time or in areas with poor cellular reception.
