7.If you want to change the security protocol, touch the Security menu and choose Open or WPA2 PSK from the pop up menu.

If you select WPA2 PSK, input a password for the connection and then touch Save.

Your portable hotspot is now created.

You will use the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox from above to enable and disable the connection. Once the connection is active, go to the device you wish to connect and configure its wireless connection to the Network SSID for your Android device and input the password (if you are using WPA2 PSK). You will now have wireless access on your device.

NOTE WEP is the weakest option because it is highly vulnerable to hacking. WPA2 is recommended by IEEE.
