How to configure connection sharing on Marshall?
Today you can have an internet connection especially via your Marshall, which can be included in your telephone package.
Although you have the option of purchasing an internet dongle for your laptop when traveling, you have another solution that may prove to be less expensive: modem mode or connection sharing from your Marshall. This system, available on your Marshall, is widespread and very practical, especially when you need internet on your computer when traveling or when a friend urgently needs an internet connection. That's why we're going to talk to you about this topic and how to share your connection from your Marshall. We will explain how to configure modem mode on Marshall via Wifi, using your USB cable and finally via Bluetooth.
Configure modem mode on your Marshall via Wifi
Before starting this operation, make sure you are connected to your Wifi network and that this connection works correctly in order to activate the connection sharing via Wifi on your Marshall. First of all, first go to your Marshall's settings and then click on the “Wireless and network” or “Wifi” section. Then press “More” where several actions will be displayed before your eyes. On this section, click on “Connection sharing” or “Mobile network sharing” or “Connection sharing and mobile access point”, the title may vary depending on the version of Android installed on your Marshall. Finally, you just have to click on “Mobile access point” where you will be able to configure your WiFi access point from your Marshall by entering a password.
This operation will allow you to protect your connection. When you connect your Marshall to your computer or to a friend's mobile, the password will be required so that an outside person cannot take advantage of your connection. The little extra of modem mode via Wifi is that you can rename your Marshall's Wifi connection so that it is easier to find.
Configure modem mode on your Marshall using a USB cable
This method enables the connection sharing of your Marshall via a USB cable plugged into your PC. First, make sure your mobile networks are enabled for modem mode to work properly and plug the USB cable from your Marshall into your computer.
As in the previous section, the first steps are similar.
First, start by going to your Marshall's settings where you will click on the “Wireless and networks” section. Then, you just have to click on “Connection sharing” or “Mobile network sharing” or “Connection sharing and mobile access point”, the name may vary as in the previous paragraph. It is from here that things change with regard to Wifi mode. Tap “USB tethering”. You have finished connection sharing. With this method, you do not need a password because your Marshall is directly connected to your computer.
Warning ! Activating mobile data and using it on a computer will cause your data and data plan to drop dramatically, so choose Wifi.
Configure modem mode on Marshall via Bluetooth
We will end this article by configuring the modem mode on your Marshall via Bluetooth. Before you begin handling, make sure that the Bluetooth of your Marshall is turned on. In addition, activate the Bluetooth of the device to which you want to share the connection. As in the previous paragraphs, the first steps are similar.
First of all, first go to your Marshall's settings and then go to the “Wireless and network” section. From there you will need to click on “Connection Sharing” or “Mobile Network Sharing” or “Connection Sharing and Mobile Hotspot”, the category name may vary.
And now choose the “Via Bluetooth” mode. Once here, you just have to choose one of the devices that is displayed in the devices activated by Bluetooth and then pair the two devices.
It's over, connection sharing has been established. However, we recommend that you use this method as a last resort because it does not transmit on as high a frequency as the other two methods.
In case of problems, do not hesitate to contact a specialist or a friend who is an expert in technologies who will be able to help you as best as possible to share your connection and put your Marshall in modem mode.
