Sprint Hotspot

Sprint Hotspot turns your device into a wireless router

and shares your device’s data connection (1xRTT,

Sprint 3G, or Sprint 4G) with one or more computers or

mobile devices using Wi-Fi. When you open Sprint

Mobile Hotspot, your device creates a secure Wi-Fi

network that you can connect to with your computer

and access the Internet.

To use your device as a wireless router, make sure that

your device has an active connection with the Sprint

1xRTT data network, the Sprint 3G network, or the

Sprint 4G network. (For more information, see

“Connecting Using Sprint 4G” on page 91 and “Getting

Started With Data Services” on page 92.)

To connect to your device’s Wi-Fi network, you need a

computer with built in Wi-Fi or a Wi-Fi adapter.

Setting Up Sprint Hotspot

2. Tap OK on the introduction screen.

list. If you selected WEP, WPA or WPA2, enter a

network key (password) in the

Password box.

5. Select the Sprint Mobile Hotspot check box at the

top of the screen to turn on the wireless router.

When Sprint Hotspot is active and is ready to share its

3G connection, the 3G hotspot icon ( ) appears in the
