Setup Galaxy S2 Wifi Hotspot

by on February 7, 2012

How to Setup Galaxy S2 Send Wifi Hot spot ? One very nice feature of the Galaxy S2 (and some other phones in the Galaxy range), is the ability to use it as a portable wifi hotspot! This is fortunately very easy and simple to set up!

Steps How to Setup Galaxy S2 Wifi Hot spot :

Go into your phone’s settings:

There, tap on “Wireless and network”, which brings you to this screen:

Here, tap on “Tethering and portable hotspot”, which takes you here:

Now tap on “Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings”:

On this screen you can enable your wifi hotspot, and also configure the security settings and stuff like that for the phone:

I’d highly recommend using WPA2 PSK as your security setting, otherwise anyone in range can connect to your phone, and with the ludicrous data rates out there, this can get costly, REAL quick!

Now simply connect with your laptop/tablet/other cellphone to your phone’s wifi hotspot, enter the password, and you should be good to go! Very handy for if you don’t have a 3g dongle or built-in 3g in your laptop. Also if you’re in South Africa, free wifi hotspots are a very scarce thing – also, the ones that do exist almost never work!

I visited a lot of website but I conceive this one contains something extra in it. “This is a burden I shall bear for every day of the life that is left to me.” by Richard Milhous Nixon.

My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a number of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be really appreciated!

Virtually all of whatever you state is astonishingly accurate and that makes me ponder the reason why I had not looked at this in this light previously. Your piece truly did turn the light on for me personally as far as this specific subject goes. But there is 1 point I am not too comfortable with and whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the actual main theme of the issue, let me observe what all the rest of your subscribers have to point out.Well done.

Hello there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one? Thanks a lot!

Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and appearance. I must say you’ve done a excellent job with this. In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Safari. Outstanding Blog!

Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any suggestions?
