All Nokia Lumia on the market are capable of working as a WiFi modem. And it is that the equipment of the Nordic company take advantage of its compatibility with 3G networks, so that the user can connect to the Internet from other equipment, such as: computers, tablets or other smartphones. We explain how to put this function into practice.
If you do not have a conventional USB modem, and throughout the day you need to have an Internet connection from a mobile device to be able to work comfortably, Nokia smartphones with Microsoft icons, Windows Phone, are able to function as such. Of course, the client must have a data rate contracted with a national operator, to avoid scares in the monthly bill. Also, if the use of connection sharing is going to be common, it is better to have a very extensive data plan to avoid browsing at low speed after exceeding the limit.
Now, taking this into account, you only have to enable the function from the main menu of the Nokia device. First, the user must enter the terminal configuration. Once inside, just go to the section that indicates “shared connection” and set the box corresponding to the “Share” option as “activated”.
What do you get with this? Let the smartphone start working as a WiFi modem by sharing its own Internet connection. Once the menu is activated, the terminal itself will automatically create a network name and password. However, if once the function is activated, the network has been created, but no password has been generated, it is advisable to configure this section without hesitation. This step is essential to avoid leaving the connection unprotected and to avoid unwanted external use. Of course, the more complex the password, the better. And avoid, at all times, applying the most common passwords. The use of letters, symbols and numbers is recommended for better protection.
In turn, the Nokia Lumia also offer information about the equipment that is connected at that moment; the computers that are using the 3G connection. What's more, the power of the WiFi modem will allow the user to connect up to five computers at the same time. And all this without suffering any problem. Of course, it should be taken into account that the speed will depend on how many computers are using the network.
Also, the manufacturer advises that its Nokia Lumia will automatically deactivate the connection sharing function when, after a few minutes, it has not been used. In this way, it is possible to save battery, and in the background, to safeguard the data rate.
Now, what teams have the possibility of making use of this feature? All Nokia Lumia in the catalog. More recently, a couple of smartphones have been added, very affordable "" for less than 300 euros in free format "", and which offer the latest Microsoft experience called Windows Phone 8. These are the Nokia Lumia 520 and Nokia Lumia 720, both with very sensitive screens capable of working even if the owner has gloves on.
