Turn your mobile into a Wi-Fi hotspot

Wi-Fi sharing
Few people know, but some mobiles like the S7 and S7 Edge allow you to share a Wi-Fi connection with a computer without using a wired link (USB cable). Concretely this means that you can use the Wi-Fi network of your smartphone and then share it over Wi-Fi with a tablet or computer..
This technical feat was made possible thanks to the Wi-Fi chip capable of operating simultaneously as a wireless access point (modem) and as a simple client. This should delight all those whose connection is regularly blocked because they have not exceeded the authorized data limit (fair-use).
Being able to do without an internet connection even on vacation has become practically impossible. This sharing solution can be particularly practical, for example in hotels or trains..
- Open the settings of your Samsung S7
- Select Mobile hotspot and modem
- Tap More
- Activate Wi-Fi connection sharing
- On your computer, click on the Wi-Fi icon located to the left of the clock to display the available wireless networks
- Look in the list for the name of your access point
- Enter the password previously defined
- Your PC is now connected to the internet
