There is no “Now Click on the Connections option and search for the Mobile hotspot & tethering option and click on it.” optoin on my A7 tablet. Under Data Usage, there is only a graph of the data usage, nothing about sharing an internet connection.
That’s why I came to this page – to find out how to turn on the hotspot/sharing. The A7 has good wifi to my router, and I’d like to USB tether it to my computer whose dongle is not playing well with the Wifi Extender.
Hi,
You cannot connect both to Wifi and then use that wifi connection as hotspot to connect to your computer via USB tethering. Better connect your computer using a wifi adapter. That’s the best option.
Thanks.
