Hi there,
I have an Intel Yolo Smartphone and am trying to use it as a modem to browse the internet using my PC, I have Windows 8.1 but I have a problem since Windows will recognize my phone as either a external storage or as Camera , How does tethering work with this smartphone and Windows, I can't locate drivers for this particular Smartphone from Intel, What can I do to enjoy the tethering feature?
Hi Garrick,
The steps to connect the tethering with Intel Yolo are as mentioned below:
1) Connect the phone with laptop using USB cable
2) Go to 'Settings', select 'More settings'
3) Check the 'Mobile data' checkbox to connect the built in connectivity
4) Navigate to 'Tethering and portable hotspot' option
5) Check the 'USB tethering' checkbox
6) The USB tethering status will be displayed on the top end of the screen
With tethering, it allows you to transform one phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot and allow any nearby devices like phones and laptops to connect to the internet. You can share the internet connection on your Wi-Fi-enabled phone with your laptop. Since both devices support Wi-Fi connectivity, this type of connection sharing is very easy to setup.
To share your Android phone’s internet connection, you need to convert it into a Wi-Fi hotspot. When a Wi-Fi hotspot is created, your laptop can connect to the internet via the hotspot your phone created. To do this, on your Android phone, turn on the Wi-Fi connection then connect to your Wi-Fi network.
Once your phone is connected to your home Wi-Fi, on your phone, go to “Settings” then under “Wireless Networks”, tap “More”. Next, go to “Tethering and portable hotspot” then “Wi-Fi hotspot”. If this is the first time you will use it, go to “Set up Wi-Fi hotspot” then configure it. Under “Network name”, enter the name of the hotspot.
Under “Security”, select a security protocol like “WPA2 PSK” then enter the password for your Wi-Fi hotspot. When you are finished, tap “Save”. After this, your Wi-Fi hotspot should be turned on automatically. And that’s it. Just connect your laptop to the hotspot you created and make sure the password is correct.
