• If you select a network that is secured with Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and connect to it for the first time, enter the password, and then touch Connect. If you connect to a secured wireless network that you have already used, you will not be prompted to enter the password again unless you reset your mobile phone to its default settings. On the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Add Wi-Fi network to add a new Wi-Fi network. 7.4 Sharing Your Phone's Data Connection You can share your mobile phone's data connection with a single computer via a USB cable: USB tethering. You can share your mobile phone's data connection with devices at the same time, by turning your phone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot. 7.4.1 Installing the USB tethering Drive If your computer is running Windows 7 or a recent distribution of some flavors of Linux (such as Ubuntu), you typically do not need to prepare your computer for tethering. But if you are running an earlier version of Windows or another operating system, you may need to prepare your computer to establish a network connection via USB. Install the USB tethering drive in the following steps: 1. Connect a USB cable to a computer. The computer will automatically recognize the phone. 2. Download and install ActiveSync 4.5 or a later version. 3. After the installation, you are able to use USB tethering. 7.4.2 Sharing Your Phone's Data Connection via USB To use USB tethering in different operating systems, you may need to prepare your computer to establish a network connection via USB. You can not share your mobile phone's data connection and SD card via USB at the same time. 1. Touch > Settings. 2. Touch Wireless & networks > Tethering & portable hotspot. 35
