Sprint Hotspot - HTC EVO 3D User Manual

Sprint Hotspot

Sprint Hotspot turns your device into a wireless router
and shares your device's data connection (1xRTT,
Sprint 3G, or Sprint 4G) with as many as eight
computers or mobile devices using Wi-Fi. When you
open Sprint Hotspot, your device creates a secure
Wi-Fi network that you can connect to with your
computer and access the Internet.
To use your device as a wireless router, make sure that
your device has an active connection with the Sprint
1xRTT data network, the Sprint 3G network, or the
Sprint 4G network. (For more information, see
"Connecting Using Sprint 4G" on page 179 and
"Getting Started With Data Services" on page 180.)
To connect to your device's Wi-Fi network, you need a
computer with built in Wi-Fi or a Wi-Fi adapter.
