Therefore, if you become a happy owner Windows phone 7.X or Windows Phone 8 phone, immediately set up an active Internet connection on it. Naturally, it is possible to receive from your operator cellular communication automatic settings, but very often they either do not come at all, or they cannot be saved. In this case, you will have to set them manually:

We go to Menu->Settings.
Then paragraph Data transfer.
Further Add hotspot.

And here it is necessary to enter Username, Password and APN(access point). Here is a list for various operators:

The first screenshot is Windows Phone 7.x, the second is Windows Phone 8.x

Once you save all settings, try uploading to Internet Explorer on the phone one page, or test the Internet in any way. If it doesn't work, reboot the device. Also don't forget to include Data transfer. This can be done by going to Menu->Settings->Data transfer and put the slider on on WP7 or select Included from dropdown list in WP8.

It’s hard to even think and imagine your smartphone (for example, Dell Venue Pro, HTC Arrive, HTC 7 Pro, HTC HD7, HTC HD7S, HTC Mozart, HTC Surround, HTC Trophy, HTC Titan, HTC Titan II, HTC Radar, Nokia Lumia 610, Nokia Lumia 710, Nokia Lumia 800, Nokia Lumia 900, LG Optimus 7, LG Quantum, Samsung Focus, Samsung Omnia 7, Samsung Focus Flash, Samsung Focus S, Samsung Omnia W) without a working Internet, which makes it possible to realize a large share of the capabilities of the devices on Windows Phone. Therefore, if you become a happy owner of a Windows Phone phone, first set up the Internet on it. Of course, you can try to get automatic settings from your operator, but often they either don’t come at all, or it’s not possible to save them, so it’s best to do the settings immediately and manually. Setting up the Internet is actually not so difficult and the whole procedure will take literally 5 minutes . First you need to go to the "Settings" menu and almost at the very bottom find the "Access Point" item, which you need to go to. Surely you will already have some access points there, but it’s better to just “Add” a new one, since the standard ones often do not work.

You can use the settings below. they have all been tested, and some have been added by our users and have also been tested to work. No problems were found.

For an example, I’ll show how these settings look on and, the Megafon operator is very convenient in that you don’t need to enter anything other than the access point itself!

You need to first select "Enabled" in the "Data transfer" mode, and then select "3G" in the "Fastest connection" item. Once you save all the settings, try loading one page in Internet Explorer on your phone, or test the Internet in any way. If it doesn't work, reboot the device.

For the Windows Phone operating system, I have already opened a special one on this site. This is the third article in this section, and in it I will write about how to set up Internet distribution via Wi-Fi on a phone that runs on Windows Phone 8 (there is no official update to Windows Phone 8.1 yet, as soon as it is, I will edit the article if there are changes in the Internet Sharing setting).

After a few days of using the phone on Windows Phone, I really like this mobile system. This is something new and fresh, compared to Android, which I'm just tired of. Now, we will turn Windows Phone 8 into a real one wifi router. Let's set up the distribution of the Internet, in the mobile operating system from Microsoft, this function is called “Shared Internet”.

To be honest, I really liked how this feature was done in Windows Phone 8. It's simple and everything works like clockwork compared to HTC One V (Android 4.0) . I think Internet Sharing looks the same on all Windows Phone 8 phones. I'll use Nokia Lumia 925 as an example.

We will just need to turn on the mobile Internet (data transfer). You can use 2G, 3G and even 4G networks. It all depends on your phone, provider and coverage. Further, in the “Shared Internet” section, it is enough to enable the function, set the network name and password for it. And that's it, our phone will distribute the Internet, which will be taken from the mobile provider. You can connect other mobile devices, tablets, laptops, TVs, etc.

And now in more detail.

Phone on Windows Phone 8 as a Wi-Fi router

First, you need to enable data transfer. Simply put, you need to turn on the mobile Internet if it is disabled for you. Go to settings (while on the desktop, swipe left and select “Settings” from the list). Next, look for the item " data transfer“, go into it and select “ included“. Below, you can specify the fastest 2G, or 3G connection.

Attention, for the use of mobile Internet, the operator can withdraw money. Sometimes, not small money. Check with the operator the tariff at which you can access the Internet. Now, operators offer not expensive tariffs, for example, with pay per day.

When the Internet is working, then the corresponding icon should appear on the notification panel.

A window will appear in which you need to change the name of the Wi-Fi network that the phone will broadcast, and the password for this network. Or you can leave the data that is already indicated. Click on the “ ready“.

That's it, our phone on Windows Phone 8 is already broadcasting a Wi-Fi network, you can connect other devices to it. A maximum of 8 devices can be connected at the same time. That's quite enough (on Android, maximum 5 devices). By the way, about the fact that the general WiFi access to the mobile Internet, you will recognize by the icon that will appear in the notification panel.

To connect, simply select from the list of available networks (on the device you want to connect to the internet), the network we created, and enter the password, which can be viewed in the "shared Internet" section.

On a laptop, it will look something like this:

Read about how to connect an Android device. Oh, I also wrote.

To stop sharing the Internet, simply turn off this feature in the “Shared Internet” section.

By the way, you can set a mobile Internet limit, for example, per day, and the phone will warn you when the limit ends. So, you can save yourself from additional expenses. After all, the Internet over the limit, as a rule, is not cheap.

All this is done in the same place, in the settings. Just swipe left to go to the “ applications“. Select “ data control“. Click on the “ set a limit“ and follow the instructions.

Highly useful feature, which can be useful not only when setting up Internet sharing, but also during normal use of mobile Internet on your phone.

Not always, if you need to access the worldwide network from a computer or laptop, there is access to a WiFi connection point. The way out of the situation may be the ability to use Windows Phone as a modem. In this case, to correctly configure the device, a minimum of actions and time will be required.

How to connect Windows Phone as a modem

The ability to use smartphones to connect to the Internet via a PC or laptop is not a new option. Previously, this would require using a USB cable, but at the moment, all the equipment necessary for distributing a signal is already built into the mobile device.

The transmission is carried out wirelessly, that is, when this option is enabled, the smartphone becomes WiFi router, which transmits a signal to other devices. This feature is available on all versions of the tiled operating system. However, there are a number of small differences for each of them. eight devices.

Tethering mode on Windows Phone is activated by turning on this function in the "Settings" menu section. When it is activated, a special indicator will appear in the status bar of the smartphone. In order to start using the device to distribute an Internet signal, you must perform the following algorithm of actions.

Make sure the data transfer option on your smartphone is enabled and an internet connection is available. This can be done in the "Network" section of the settings menu.
Return to the general settings menu and find an item called "Internet Sharing".
Activate the function by clicking on this item so that the mark "Enabled" appears.

important before, how to enable hotspot mode on windows phone Verify that this feature is supported by your current carrier. As a rule, the distribution of a network from a smartphone to other devices is called tethering and is paid extra.

When you activate the "Shared Internet" function, your PC or laptop will independently detect a new available network. You just need to select the desired connection from the list provided.

How to use Windows Phone as a network source

Some owners of devices with operating system from Microsoft want to use their smartphone for a wired connection and not as a WiFi hotspot. Accordingly, the topic of how to use windows phone as usb modem. In order to establish a wired connection, access to the system files of the device is required. And that Microsoft does not provide its users due to security policy. That's why Windows Phone as a modem via USB cannot be connected to a PC.

Before, how to use windows phone as modem you need to familiarize yourself with the existing restrictions of the mobile operator. This is due to the fact that all devices connected to a common network operate according to the same tariff plan, which is the device itself.

Considering the question how to use windows phone as modem via wireless network is also worth noting that not all mobile operators provide such a service. Also, using the general Internet, you can not only connect to world wide web another device, but also create a separate local area network.
