You go to the main settings menu on the iPhone. Find the “cellular connection” section, then click on the “tethering mode” attachment. If this attachment appears in the main list. When it is not in the main list, go to the "cellular data network" tab. This item is usually located at the end of the list, so look throughout the list.

Next, you need to activate the modem toggle switch to “ON” and restart your smartphone. After it turns on, the active modem mode should be displayed in the main settings menu. After that, just reboot the device that you want to connect to the network. If the data for the APN fields, username and password is not enough, then you can get these data from your mobile operator.
In the event that the modem mode does not work, i.e. it is not active, you need to enter the "cellular connection" option again and activate it. After these steps, the modem is working, and you can distribute access to the Internet for other devices.
How to share Wi-Fi from iPhone?
The developers made it possible to provide an Internet connection via Bluetooth, USB and Wi-Fi. These methods are also very simple and easy to use.
Connecting via USB
You can connect your phone as a modem to a PC if it is running Windows 7 or higher. Now connect your smartphone with the original USB cable to the computer. After connecting, a window will pop up with a list of programs for launching. It can simply be closed or collapsed, it is not useful for customization.
Enter the modem mode through the device settings. Here you will find the "shared USB tethering" option. Activate it. Your PC is now in shared mode with the World Wide Web. In order to complete the distribution of the Internet connection, turn off the "shared USB modem" option in the settings and disconnect the USB cable from the PC.
Connecting via Bluetooth
In order to make such a connection, it is necessary to configure the PC and smartphone via a data sending channel via Bluetooth. These setup options vary from computer to computer, so you should follow the instructions in the user guide for your computer.
Now we activate the "modem mode" on your smartphone in the main settings. Then connect the "shared USB modem" option and after that the computer has a shared access to the World Wide Web.
Connecting via Wi-Fi
To set up such a connection, go to the "modem mode" on your smartphone. Now you need to find the option "Wi-Fi hotspot ” and make it active. Enabling this option allows you to give an Internet connection to several users at the same time. The maximum number of connected users is eight. In order to deactivate access, it is enough to do the above, on the contrary.
When you distribute the Internet in this way, only mobile network data transfer will be available to your smartphone.
When the modem is on, when another device is connected to your phone, the status bar changes color to blue. And it displays how many connections are currently active. This visually allows you to monitor the connection and the distribution process.
Before distributing an Internet connection, make sure that unlimited data exchange is available to you. Otherwise, you run the risk of famously going into the red on the balance sheet.
The iPhone has several ways to transfer access to the World Wide Web. All of them are affordable and easy to use. Connection does not require any special actions or devices. And all settings are set within a short period of time.
It happens that you desperately need Wi-Fi, but you can’t get it anywhere. What to do if you need to work on the Internet using a laptop or computer, and only mobile communications are available from the available resources? For all iPhone users, this problem is not so significant. You just need to put your phone in modem mode, and you can distribute Wi-Fi to yourself and, if necessary, to friends.
How to activate hotspot mode on iPhone
Setup in this case will take only a couple of minutes:
- On your phone, select Settings, then Cellular.
- Then select "Modem mode".
- Set the appropriate mode with the switch.
Here you can also set or change the password for Wi-Fi, if you select this connection method. It is advisable to use only Latin letters and numbers in the password, otherwise the devices may not connect to the network.
Connection methods using tethering mode
You can connect to an iPhone in modem mode through:
- WiFi;
- bluetooth;
When connecting via Bluetooth, you should make sure that the second device is “found”. Pair it with it by selecting Bluetooth in iPhone Settings.
When connecting via USB, it is also worth checking the connection. To do this, go to Control Panel - Network and Internet - View network status and tasks. If the connection doesn't work, you might want to reinstall iTunes (you need a newer version) or restart your computer and reconnect your phone.
If you can't turn on tethering, check with your ISP to see if you can use it. It also happens that this mode is not active or disappeared after updating to a newer version of iOS. Then, most likely, you will need to register the APN settings. To do this, go to Settings - Cellular - Cellular data network and fill in the required fields. Information about the settings can be obtained from your mobile operator.
You can turn off the tethering function in the same place, in the Settings of your iPhone.
Starting with iOS 7, Apple has redesigned its operating system for iPhone and iPad, adding many new features and completely changing the idea of design. One of these innovations was the ability to turn iPhone and iPad Cellular (3G/LTE) into a wireless access point to distribute mobile Internet to other devices. In the system, this feature was called "Tethering Mode" and allowed you to connect using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or a USB cable.
But it may happen that after updating iOS, the "Tethering mode" parameter may disappear from the system settings and the mobile Internet on the device may disappear. It is not known why this happens, but as it turned out, this function can be returned - you just need to register the APN access point in the cellular settings. In this article, we will look at APNs for different mobile operators and tell you how to set up the Internet and return the ability to share it with other users on the iPhone.
How to enable "Modem mode" on iPhone or iPad and set up mobile Internet (we prescribe APN of mobile operators)
Step 1 Open the Settings app on your iOS gadget
Step 2 Select menu Cellular → Cellular data network.
On devices with iOS 10 and 11 Cellular → In the sections Cellular data and Hotspot mode, write down the APN data, username and password for your mobile operator

How to enable hotspot mode on iOS 8?
Have you ever been in a situation where you have a laptop in front of you, but there are no free Wi-Fi points nearby? If you have an iPhone or iPad with you, then the problem with Internet access can be solved using the modem mode.
This instruction is designed for users of devices based on iOS 8, although you can enable this mode on previous versions of the OS (according to a different algorithm). The only thing you need is unlimited Internet, so that when you connect your laptop, your account will not be empty.
We will describe the inclusion of an access point in two situations: when there is a "Modem mode" item in the settings and when it is not. Apple has hidden it on some devices running . But even if it is not there, we will return it.
Step 1. Open "Settings"
Step 2. Select Cellular. Perhaps, at this step, "Modem mode" will already be available.
Step 3. Select "Cellular Data Network"
Step 4. You may have to scroll down and find the fields for entering the name, password and APN. Just enter any username. Go back to settings.
Step 5. In the settings, “Modem mode” must appear without fail, already active.
Step 6. Go back to Cellular. Modem mode may be in the off state.
Step 7. This is what an enabled personal Wi-Fi hotspot looks like on any device with iOS 8. Once you turn on the hotspot, all that remains is to connect to the newly created network.
The instructions themselves are simple. The steps are written for those who probably have a personal hotspot section hidden. If you still have questions, you can ask them in the comments.
Thanks for the screenshots

5 reasons not to switch to Google Chrome
I found that the Glavred and Streak services do not have extensions for Firefox. I thought it might be time to switch to Chrome, since it has already gained fans. After all, you just need to get used to the new browser, as I once got used to Firefox after Maxthon.

7 points about Windows 10 from the consumer: going out of the way of the porcupine
Hello tile brothers! Today, the banners ... Ahem ... Hmm, sorry, I just remember with nostalgia those good times when all the owners of the smartphones of the apple company were fanatics with a special orientation, the owners of the green robot were “rogue”, and the idealists of the “windowphone” were just strange personalities.
