WP 8.1 Internet sharing


Recommended Posts

I know nothing about phones, so I came here. The phone says internet sharing over WiFi, does that mean it would use my WiFi but replace it with my phones (4G) speeds? Does this mean I could provide internet to an Xbox or computer via my phone? If so, does it use my cell phones data or does it not count since its "over wifi"?

I ask because I have a crappy home internet and for now,cannot switch, so if I was able to share this awesome LTE to my other drives that's be grand.

Basically, it means that you can turn your phone into a router that other devices connect to it wirelessly. It shares the phone's internet connection (the data connection from your operator) with those devices.

Depends, if you have a good connection and you don't play a game that wastes much data, then perhaps you could.
