the information that came with your router; for a work Wi-Fi network, talk to your administrator; for a public hotspot,

information that came with your router.

Mobile Hotspot
When you use Mobile Hotspot mode your BlackBerry device creates a Wi-Fi network that other Wi-Fi enabled devices can
connect to so that they can use the Internet through your mobile network connection.
Sharing your Internet connection using Mobile Hotspot mode
This feature lets you connect your devices to the Internet anywhere that your BlackBerry device has a mobile network
connection, but because this feature uses the mobile network, you might incur high data charges.
On some mobile networks, services such as email and BBM might not be available while the Mobile Hotspot mode is turned
on.
After you set up Mobile Hotspot mode on your BlackBerry device, connecting to the mobile hotspot with a Wi-Fi enabled
device is a lot like connecting to any regular router.
Before you use Mobile Hotspot mode, read the latest safety and product information at www.blackberry.com/docs/

Use Mobile Hotspot mode to share your Internet connection
Before you turn on Mobile Hotspot mode, check that your BlackBerry device's connection to the mobile network is turned
on.
