Wondering how to use the Wi-Fi personal hotspot on the new Verizon iPhone or iOS 4.3 iPhone? Used mobile hotspot or a MiFi before but not sure how Apple?s works? No worries, it?s almost painless to share your iPhone?s 3G connection with up to 5 other devices (including your iPad or laptop!) and we?ll show you how after the break!
If you?ve used an iPhone before, Wi-Fi personal hotspot enhances the previous method for tethering and works in pretty much the same way ? albeit much more easily. IIf you?re brand new to iPhone, Apple has made it even quicker to get to and get going with. Here?s how.
- From the Home Screen launch the Settings App
- In Settings tap on Personal Hotspot
- Toggle Personal Hotspot to ?On?
- If Wi-Fi is currently disabled a popup will appear asking you to enable it.
- You will see a default Wi-Fi password. You can either use it or tap on it to change it to a password of your choosing.
- Once you?re happy with the settings go to your Mac or Windows PC and look for the name of your iPhone under available Wi-Fi networks.
- Enter the password
- A blue bar will appear on top of your iPhone showing the connection is established and how many devices are connected.
That?s it. Enjoy your Wi-Fi but keep track of your 3G data!
