Tethering and Mobile HotSpot
The Tethering option allows you to share your device’s
mobile data connection via a direct USB connection between
your device and computer.
The Mobile HostSpot feature allows you to turn your device
into a Wi-Fi hotspot. The feature works best when used in
conjunction with HSPA+ (4G) data services (although 3G
service can also be used).

“USB Tethering”
on page 157 or

“Mobile Wi-Fi HotSpot”
on page 158.
Wi-Fi Direct Settings
You can configure your device to connect directly with other

between devices. These devices must be enabled for Wi-Fi
Direct communication. This connection is direct and not via a
hot spot or WAP.
Note:
Activating this feature will disconnect your current Wi-Fi
network connection.
