Tethering; Wi-Fi Hotspot - Asus Zenfone7 User Manual

Tethering

When Wi-Fi service is not available, you can use your ASUS Phone as a modem or turn it into a Wi-Fi
hotspot to get Internet access on your laptop, tablet, and other mobile devices.
IMPORTANT! Most mobile service providers may require a data plan for you to be able to use the
tethering function. Contact your mobile service provider about availing of this data plan.

Internet access via tethering may be slower than the standard Wi-Fi or mobile connection.

Only a limited number of mobile devices can tether to your ASUS Phone for Internet access.
• Turn off the tethering feature when you're not using it to help save battery power.
