think I need help setting up wifi hotspot

[steptoe]

think is an understatement

I have before managed to physically tether last phone to PC and sap it that way. New phone socket is roo ted so need to upgrade connection skills
[and to think I was reading about company developments in LAN back in 1988! no one believed me it would happen )

Win XP on a PC desktop (google it ! ) Dongle will even work with WIN2000 !

who.r.we green gremlin type OS? in phone

got a dongle dig i tech from jay car

802.11N

plugged into PC after running its driver disc like structions say

now setting up security
yes had to google AP ! Access Point I recognise as my phone has it somewhere

I want to be able to sap the GB credits from my phone to use it to xmit to the PC mounted dongle

I wonder

You really do over complicate things don't you

make sure you are near your computer with the computer wifi dongle activated

Turn your phones wifi off turn its portable hotspot on

if you have the code make sure the phone hasn't changed it (sometimes the change automatically for security? reasons)

go to your computer wifi connection and look for your phone

click to connect when you find your phone, when asked for the code enter it in XP it will want the same code twice. Tick the box to connect automatically.

You should now have internet via your phone.

I know I did

I have PIN codes and passwords - lucky me
