Types of Tethering

These three types of tethering are common to most phones, not only Android phones, but also iPhone. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.

  •     Wi-Fi sharing is easy and quick, supports sharing with multiple devices, and tends to drain the phone’s battery.
  •     Bluetooth is the slowest and allows sharing with one device at a time.
  •     A USB connection is faster, and the laptop simultaneously charges the smartphone.

My preferred connection type is Wi-Fi hotspot or tethering in most cases. Choose Wi-Fi hotspot, then set hotspot name, hotspot password, choose wireless encryption standard: WPA2-Personal, choose AP band between 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz, enable the option to turn off hotspot automatically if no devices are connected. Finally tap on the On/Off toggle to enable W-Fi hotspot on Infinix phone.
