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 26).

You can also obtain a network connection for your tablet from a computer via

Bluetooth: see “Obtain a network connection via Bluetooth tethering” on page 68.

For the latest information about tethering and portable hotspots, including

supported operating systems and other details, visit android.com/tether.

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.
