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.
