Connecting to networks and devices 68 AUG-3.0-100 Android User’s Guide Sharing your mobile data connection You can share your tablet’s mobile data connection with a single computer via a USB cable or via Bluetooth: USB tethering or Bluetooth tethering. You can also share your tablet’s data connection with up to eight devices at once, by turning your tablet into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot. (Not all carriers and tablets support these features.) When your tablet is sharing its data connection, an icon appears in the Status bar and as an ongoing notification in the Notifications panel (see “Managing notifications” on page 24). For the latest information about tethering and portable hotspots, including supported operating systems and other details, visit android.com/tether. Share your tablet’s data connection via USB If your computer is running Windows 7 or a recent distribution of some flavors of Linux (such as Ubuntu), you typically don’t need to prepare your computer for tethering. But if you’re running an earlier version of Windows or another operating system, you may need to prepare your computer to establish a network connection via USB. For the most current information about which operating systems support USB tethering and how to configure them, visit android.com/tether.
