\"\"One of the most frustrating things, when it comes to the Internet, is finding a stable connection while outside the office. Most coffee shops and hotels offer Wi-Fi, but you have to pay to connect. If you have a new iPad with a cellular data connection, you can share the connection with up to five devices, giving you your own personal Wi-Fi connection.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can share your data connection.<\/p>\n

Personal Hotspot<\/strong>
\nApple calls this feature a Personal Hotspot, the community calls it a hotspot or tethering. In technical terms, a hotspot is any area you can connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi. In other words, Personal Hotspot turns your iPad into a router that can broadcast a Wi-Fi signal using your data plan.<\/p>\n

This is beneficial to businesses with employees who spend time on the road, as they may not be able to connect to a traditional Wi-Fi network when they need to. As many wireless carriers provide near nationwide data coverage, it makes sense to use your cellular data plan to connect to the Internet.<\/p>\n

How to turn your iPad into a hotspot <\/strong>
\nYou can set up a hotspot on your iPad<\/a> by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Going to\u00a0Settings<\/em> and selecting\u00a0General<\/em> followed by\u00a0Network<\/a><\/em>.<\/li>\n
  2. Tapping\u00a0Set Up Personal Hotspot<\/em> at the top of your screen. Your iPad will check with your cellular carrier to see if they allow this feature. You\u2019ll receive an error message if they don\u2019t.<\/li>\n
  3. Selecting\u00a0Personal Hotspot<\/em> from the\u00a0Settings<\/em> screen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To establish a hotspot, press\u00a0Personal Hotspot<\/em> and select\u00a0Off\/On<\/em>. You have three different types of hotspots you can establish: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB. If you choose to use Wi-Fi, you\u2019ll be given the option to set a password that users will need to enter to connect to the hotspot. To connect via Bluetooth or USB, follow the instructions on the\u00a0Personal Hotspot<\/em> screen. To turn off the hotspot, navigate back to the Personal Hotspot page and select\u00a0Off\/On<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s important to note that your cellular provider tracks how much data you use, this includes any devices connected via the hotspot. If you don\u2019t have a plan with unlimited data you should monitor your data usage.<\/p>\n

    Personal Hotspot is an useful feature that provides you with another way to connect with the office while on the go. If you\u2019re interested in ways you can leverage other features of the iPad to make your job easier, please contact us.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
