📱Tether

Use-Cases (Why would anybody want to do this?)

• Remote WLAN Pi access, without touching the customer network

• During network commissioning a tethered WLAN Pi can give network equipment an internet connection (Easy Cellular data to Ethernet converter)

• You could use the WLAN Pi as a hotspot, but your mobile device can probably already do this! (switching into Hotspot mode would be the easy fast way to achieve this)

Smartphone Users (with a cable)

1. USB tether your WLAN Pi to your Phone For this you need to use a WLAN Pi host port - USB-C (side) - USB-A (top) <- This port may be more reliable due to power draw

2. Plug it in

3. Unlock the iPhone

4. Wait a moment

5. Tap 'Trust this device' >Screen shot<

6. Assuming your cellular plan allows tethering and you have data available your WLAN Pi should now have internet connectivity

7. Check this by navigating to Utils > Reachablility Double check that you do not have an ethernet connection to the internet

8. Check out Utils > USB Devices
