Do not Automatically Install Driver for USB
*
Tethering
By default, a host driver is installed the first time you connect your mobile hotspot to
the computer via the USB cable. This driver enables the mobile hotspot to connect to
the Internet when it is tethered to a USB port on the computer via the USB cable
instead of using the Wi-Fi network.
If you do not want to use this feature and want to use only the USB cable to charge
the mobile hotspot battery, you can set the host driver not to install.
To set the host driver not to install:
1. On the Mobile Hotspot Homepage, click the Advanced Settings icon ( ).
2. On the Device > Basic tab, beside Automatically install host driver for USB
tethering, select No.
3. Click Save.
*. * Enterprise variant available with microSD and WPS functionality disabled and drivers
supporting tethering removed.
