Today you can have an internet connection, particularly via your Toshiba TG01, which can be included in your telephone plan.
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 Toshiba TG01. This system available on your Toshiba TG01 is very widespread and very practical, especially when you need internet on your computer while traveling or when a friend urgently needs an internet connection. This is why we are going to talk to you about this subject and the ways to share a connection from your Toshiba TG01.

Configure modem mode on your Toshiba TG01 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 Toshiba TG01. First of all, start by going to the settings of your Toshiba TG01 then click on the “Wireless and network” or “Wifi” section. Next, tap “More” where several actions will be displayed before your eyes. In this section, click on “Connection sharing” or “Mobile network sharing” or “Connection sharing and mobile hotspot”, the title may vary depending on the version of Android installed on your Toshiba TG01. Finally, all you have to do is click on “Mobile hotspot” where you will be able to configure your Wifi access point from your Toshiba TG01 by entering a password.
This operation will allow you to protect your connection. When you connect your Toshiba TG01 to your computer or to the mobile of one of your friends, the password will be required so that an outside person cannot take advantage of your connection. The little extra of WiFi modem mode is that you can rename the WiFi connection of your Toshiba TG01 so that it is easier to find.
Configure modem mode on your Toshiba TG01 via a USB cable
This method enables the connection sharing of your Toshiba TG01 via a USB cable plugged into your PC. First of all, make sure that your mobile networks are activated for modem mode to work properly and plug the USB cable from your Toshiba TG01 to your computer.
As in the previous section, the first steps are similar.
First of all, start by going to the settings of your Toshiba TG01 where you will click on the “Wireless and networks” section. Then, all you have to do is click on “Connection Sharing” or “Mobile Network Sharing” or “Connection Sharing and Mobile Hotspot”, the name may vary as in the previous paragraph. It is from here that things change in relation to Wifi mode. Tap “USB Tethering”. You have finished tethering. With this method, you do not need a password because your Toshiba TG01 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 Toshiba TG01 via Bluetooth
We will end this article by configuring the modem mode on your Toshiba TG01 via Bluetooth. Before starting, make sure that the Bluetooth of your Toshiba TG01 is activated. Additionally, turn on the Bluetooth of the device you want to share the connection to. As in the previous paragraphs, the first steps are similar.
First of all, start by going to the settings of your Toshiba TG01 then go to the “Wireless and network” section. From there you will need to click on “Tethering” or “Mobile Network Sharing” or “Tethering 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 best to share your connection and put your Toshiba TG01 in modem mode.
