There are situations when the Internet is urgently needed, and it is, for example, only on a friend's smartphone, since any modern mobile device from Lenovo has a modem function. This is a rather useful "feature" that helps to distribute the Internet to nearby devices, such as other smartphones or even a laptop. Moreover, you can connect at the same time even from a dozen devices, the main thing is that the Internet speed is enough for everyone. This function is quite simple to use. You can learn more about how to distribute Wi-Fi on Lenovo in the instructions below.
In order to distribute Wi-Fi from a Lenovo smartphone or tablet, you need to follow a series of simple steps. The first thing that needs to be done is to connect to the mobile Internet, it is from it that the network that we are going to distribute comes from. For a stable speed, it is recommended to connect to 3G or 4G, as simple mobile Internet is quite slow.
In different firmware and smartphone models, this is done in different ways, but in each case, you first need to go to “ Settings", Then click on the menu item" More". Further, depending on the firmware version, there may be different items: in one of the OS versions, the item is called " Modem mode", In others it is" WLAN hotspot" or " Personal hotspot". One way or another, the same function is hidden under this item, it is this function that allows you to make the distribution of the Internet work.
How to set up an access point will be discussed in more detail later.
Using settings
The modem function works on almost any smartphones, this applies even to fairly old models. So, even on Lenovo A1000, Wi-Fi distribution is carried out without the slightest problems and interruptions.
To safely enable access points on Lenovo, you first need to set a password and change other settings. If this is not done, then anyone can connect, which means that this user will be able to waste your precious traffic or, even worse, try to enter the device and steal any data.
Setting a password and other parameters
You can set a password on any smartphones of the company, but let's look at how this is done on the Lenovo S860 and its younger model S850.
After setting up the access point, the choice of the distribution method pops up, we need " Use WLAN connection". The next menu will open, there you need to click on " Configure Primary Wireless Point". Next, a window will appear in which you need to enter the desired name of the access point, its password and protection method, including WPA2 PSK and WPA PSK. When all the data has been entered, you need to click on the " Save».
After these simple manipulations, the Wi-Fi access point is ready and, importantly, protected from third-party interference. Now you can freely distribute the Internet to everyone to whom you provide your password.
However, this is not the only way to distribute the Internet. You can do this using third-party programs.
Using third-party programs
We examined the basic way of distributing Wi-Fi on the phone, however, with the help of third-party applications, everything can turn out faster. Some programs even increase the reliability of the connection. This will be useful to the distributor from Lenovo's phone, since no one can hack it, even if they try.
Osmino
Osmino is one of the most popular hotspot applications. This application allows just a couple of clicks to create a secure point from which you can distribute Wi-Fi.
You no longer need to think about how to distribute the Internet from Lenovo. All that is required is to download a small application, install it and run it. After that, the access point settings will open. There you can enter your nickname and the desired password, after that you need to press the button " Distribute". These actions will launch the Internet Sharing from your smartphone.
The app is pretty lightweight and will run on any device from the company, including Lenovo A5000.
Surely, many who have a computer tablet for android thought about distributing the Internet over a Wi-Fi network to other devices. For example, your tablet is connected to a 3G or 4G mobile internet. You have a laptop, smartphone, or any other Wi-Fi enabled device that needs to be connected to the internet. So, here it is. Any android tablet has the ability to turn into an access point.
By enabling a specific function on your tablet, a wireless network will be created to which you can connect your laptop or phone.
Let's take a look at the ability to distribute the Internet from a tablet.
How to create a Wi-Fi hotspot on your tablet
Step 1... Turn on Wi-Fi on your tablet and go to settings.
Step 2... Click on the button More to expand the list of wireless settings.
Step 3... Please select Modem mode.

- Protection. There are two options. If you want to make the network public, select the Open access type. If you want to protect your network from unnecessary connections, then choose WPA2-PSK.
In the password line, enter the security key. (password must be at least 8 characters). For reliable protection, use numbers, signs and Latin letters.
In this window, you can select the maximum number of users to connect. After configuring all the fields, click the button Save.
Addition
Small but important addition. Some tablet models have an access point auto-off function. This function allows you to turn off the Wi-Fi network when idle for a certain period of time. That is, if you do not use the Internet or a tablet for 5 or 10 minutes, then the distribution of the Internet stops. Therefore, if you have gone somewhere for 5 minutes, you will have to reconnect to the Internet.
To solve this problem go to the section WLAN hotspot(step 4) and select Access point auto disconnect... Place the switch in the position Always on.
All necessary settings have been completed. Now the created network can be found on any device and connected to it.

That's all. Sharing the Internet from an android tablet should be in full swing and continuously.
Nowadays, it is very difficult to imagine a phone or tablet that does not have access to modern wireless networks, making it possible to use the fastest Internet. If you want to organize an access point for several more from your device, then this is quite possible: you can connect from a laptop, from a phone, or from anything - there would be a Wi-Fi module and the ability to connect to the network. Today we'll talk about how to share Wi-Fi from a tablet.
Let's start configuring and enabling
First of all, we will consider devices with the Android operating system, since they are the most common. On other platforms, this function is more relevant for mobile phones.
It only at first glance seems that setting up the distribution is something overwhelming; in fact, you do not need to download third-party software or radically change the settings for fear of "damaging" your favorite device.
So, we picked up our tablet and the first thing to do is to find "Settings", and then click on them, going inside. Here we are interested in the item "More".
On the next screen, you guessed it, we select "Modem Mode".
It is worth noting that, in addition to Wi-Fi, you can also distribute or connect your phone with a cable to a computer. In principle, you can experiment, but we are interested in the item "Access Point", which we choose; but it will most likely have to be tweaked slightly.
Now we see the settings page in front of us: here you can see the distribution statistics, as well as change some parameters, such as the name of the point, as well as the password for accessing it.
This is how the detailed settings page looks like, where, by the way, you can also select the type of protection and the maximum number of users who can connect.
After configuring the hotspot as you need, you can save the results and just turn it on by checking the box, as shown in the screenshot.
As you understand, for distribution you will also need to enable data transfer, which can usually be found in the so-called curtain, accessible from any page, or you can activate this item by entering the settings again.
The option you need is in the general list and marked in the screenshot.

Most tablets and smartphones for samsung, lenovo and so on have a WiFi router function - you just need to turn on the wifi distribution.
Creating a wireless network allows you to connect to your phone even a dozen devices at the same time.
So you can benefit from Internet sharing. Such functionality is in great demand, since the Internet has become the basis for the functioning of almost any device.
The problem arises when many devices are required to connect to the network at once. It is easy to do this using a mobile phone, or rather an Android smartphone or tablet.
Almost all modern models have a router, that is, the ability to share the Internet with other Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB devices.
Contrary to appearances, this action can cause problems for novice users. First, let's check the benefits of this solution.
Benefits of distributing wifi through your Android phone
- Connect up to 10 different devices at the same time
- Internet access
- File sharing
- There is no need to buy a router
- Instant internet connection via wi-fi
- Internet Sharing
- Portable Wireless Access Point
How to enable and configure the distribution of Wi-Fi from your android phone - step by step
To enable wifi distribution in a tablet or android, a lot depends on the manufacturer and version of the android, although the principle is the same.
I will show with pictures how to enable distribution for samsung galaxy with android 6.0.1. The fastest way is to pull the top bar down, open all settings and click on two icons: "Mobile data" and "Mobile. access point".
At the bottom, a notification should appear that "Modem mode is on", but that's not all.
When connecting another device, it will ask for a password to the wifi network. Where can I get it?
You can use the existing one or change it to your own - that's up to you.
To see what password the android system has set or change to your own, open "Settings" and click on the "Access Point and Modem" section.
Then go to the "Mobile Hotspot" item.
Here you will see everything, you can change it and even have instructions on how to use it.
Additional settings when turning on Wifi transmission on android phones including samsung galaxy
When transferring the Internet, the android has three options: a portable Wi-Fi router, Bluetooth, and a USB tethering.
The first one concerns the installation of a wireless network, the second one based on the Bluetooth protocol (useful in some cases), and the third option allows you to distribute the Internet via a USB cable connected to your computer.
The WiFi router menu is used to configure connection parameters, set a password and view connected devices.
At the beginning, slide the slider of the button to On / On, and for security reasons, make the password with at least nine characters and with lowercase letters, capital letters and symbols.
You can also give the connected devices personalized names, such as computer, home phone, work phone, etc.
How to connect a device to a smartphone distributing Wi-Fi
The procedure is the same as when connecting to a home network. The baked device must have a WiFi connection access function.
In the case of a laptop, click on the icon next to the clock to find the name of your phone (the name of the network created by the smartphone can be changed in the WiFi settings).
Click on the network, select "Connect", enter the previously set password and you can enjoy unlimited access to the Internet.
Keep in mind that the distribution is associated with a very high consumption of the Internet package in your tariff plan.
Programs for using the phone as a modem for distributing wifi
In addition to the built-in capabilities in android, you can use special programs to distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi.
There are many such applications and can be easily downloaded for free from the play market.
For example, FoxFi or PdaNet +. At the same time, some of the programs may request root rights, but not all.
Third-party programs are good because they can remove the restrictions present in the built-in "Modem Mode" in the Android smartphone or tablet itself. Good luck.
You can configure the distribution of Wi-Fi from a tablet to other devices (for example, a smartphone, laptop) in two steps: connect to the Internet directly from the tablet, and then turn it into an access point.
We connect the Internet on the tablet
I'll make a reservation right away that WiFi internet won't work. If a Sim card is inserted into your tablet, you can connect to the Internet through your mobile operator. If there is no SIM card connector, you can connect an external USB (2G or 3G) modem to the tablet and connect to the network through it. To do this, you need to learn the settings of the mobile Internet from your operator, and then turn on the transfer of mobile data in the settings section (it can be called differently on different tablets), but in most cases this item is called “Mobile networks”.
Turn on WiFi sharing
Now it's time to make a real WiFi modem out of our tablet. First of all, turn on W-Fi in the settings. Then in the "Data transfer" section, select the "More" sub-item. There we are interested in the line "Modem mode", select it.
The next step is to select the item "Wi-Fi access point".
Now you need to activate the modem mode by switching the slider to the “on” mode on the “WiFi access point” item.
The modem mode is on, the only thing left is to configure the access point. Click “Wi-Fi hotspot settings”. A window will open in which you need to give the name of your network in the column “SSID network name (you can write whatever your heart desires in Latin), and come up with a password (enter in the“ Password ”column) that you will remember, but the neighbors will not know. In the “Security” column, it is desirable to leave WPA2 PSK. Finally, click “Save”.
Well, that's all, now you can search for wireless networks even from a computer, even from a smartphone, and if everything is done correctly, a new network will appear in the list of wireless networks with the name that you yourself came up with earlier. Select this network, enter the password, and click “Connect”.
