Tethering
When Wi-Fi service is not available, you can use your ASUS Phone as a modem or turn it into a Wi-Fi
hotspot to get Internet access on your laptop, tablet, and other mobile devices.
IMPORTANT!
Most mobile service providers may require a data plan for you to be able to use the
tethering function. Contact your mobile service provider about availing of this data plan.

Internet access via tethering may be slower than the standard Wi-Fi or mobile connection.
