Connecting to a hidden Wi-Fi network
A Wi-Fi network might be hidden, which means the network name isn't broadcasted.
In this case, it won't appear in the list of available networks on the Wi-Fi Settings
screen and a notification won't appear when the network is in range. To connect to a
hidden Wi-Fi network when it's in range, you'll need to enter the network name and
password.
The network name and password are case sensitive.
1. On the Start screen, tap
2. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
3. Make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on.
4. Tap advanced.
5. Tap
, enter the network name, and then tap add.
6. On the Sign in screen, enter the password, and then tap done.
Disconnecting from a Wi-Fi network
1. On the Start screen, tap
2. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
3. Tap the Wi-Fi networking On/Off switch to turn Wi-Fi off and disconnect from
the wireless network.
You can also press and hold the network name and then tap delete to disconnect. But
this removes the security settings if it's a secured network, and you'll need to enter
them again next time you reconnect to this Wi-Fi network.

Using your phone as a mobile hotspot

Want to share your Internet connection with your laptop or another device? You can
turn your phone into a mobile hotspot by sharing your cellular data connection over
Wi-Fi. Other Wi-Fi enabled devices can then use your shared data connection to
connect to the Internet.
To share your cellular data connection, this feature must be available from your
mobile operator and enabled on your current phone plan. This is also known as
tethering and often costs extra.
When you and other people use the shared connection on another device, it uses
data from your cellular data plan. Please be aware of any data limits you have on
your plan, so you don't get charged extra.
1. On the Start screen, tap
2. Tap Settings > Internet Sharing.
