Configure the WiFi Signal If a Device Is Tethered

If a device is tethered to the hotspot through a USB connection, you can turn the hotspot's
WiFi signal off so that other devices cannot connect to the hotspot WiFi network. If you allow
the WiFi signal to stay on, all devices, including the tethered device, can connect to the
hotspot WiFi network and access the Internet.
Note:
To tether your hotspot to a computer, you must download the
