How to Share the Internet or Create a Wi-Fi Zone on LG

Being able to share the Internet from our mobile phone is for many users one of the most useful functions of their smartphone. Whether it is because you have to connect other devices, or as a reference for those friends or family who need connection at any given time, being able to create an access point can be necessary on many occasions. LG mobiles also have this possibility, which we will see in detail below.

The data bonuses are getting bigger, which leaves us more margin to be able to share them with other devices. When we go to an area without Wi-Fi, we can make our mobile become a kind of router, offering a connection to our laptop or other devices that need to be connected. It is a very useful function and activating it will be very simple on our LG mobile.

How to activate the Wi-Fi Zone on LG

In order to activate the function, we will have to go to Settings and then enter the Network and Internet section . Once inside we will see the option called “Network tethering” which is what will allow us to create a Wi-Fi access point. Once inside we can activate the function by sliding the switch, without first making some recommended adjustments to create a secure connection.

The password is “required”

However, before we must configure the Wi-Fi access point. Although optional, it is recommended that you create a password to ensure that only authorized devices connect. Otherwise, every time we activate the option, any terminal could connect and consume our data rate. To avoid this, we will have the option to limit the number of connected devices, from a maximum of 10 to a minimum of 1. Likewise, we will be able to configure a timer so that the Wi-Fi Access Point is deactivated after a few minutes. In this way we can both save battery life, and prevent our data rate from being excessively depleted.

Alternative method: by Bluetooth

Although it is not available in all models, several LG mobiles allow an option that is being gradually eliminated. This is the possibility of sharing our Internet connection via Bluetooth, a function also known as Bluetooth Tethering . In this case, we will only have to activate the tab. Then we will have to activate Bluetooth on the device that is going to connect to our network and perform the pairing between the two. Once finished we will be sharing the Internet using this alternative method.
