Today, in almost any restaurant, cafe or entertainment center, you can connect to the Internet for free via a wifi access point. However, sometimes there are situations when, for some reason, there is no access to the network in a public place. If you have a laptop or smartphone from Apple iPhone, you can work around this problem. This phone can connect to the Internet using 3G or LTE standards.
Sharing Internet from iPhone
To activate the ability to distribute the Internet via wifi in an Apple smartphone, you must first enter the settings and enable "3G", "Cellular data" and "4G / LTE" if this standard is supported by the phone model. This format will make it possible to transfer data much faster.
After that, select the "Modem mode" menu item and activate this setting. Now the iPhone smartphone will be able to distribute the Internet via wifi. It does this by allowing the phone to operate as a modem for wireless communication. If there is no such item as "Modem mode" in the smartphone settings menu, then you must enter the "Cellular" section. Here you can see all the settings that are used by phones to use the mobile Internet. Similar information is also available on the official page of each mobile operator whose SIM card is installed in the device.
Here the owner of the smartphone will see three lines, namely: "APN", "Username" and "Password". Further below is the item "Modem mode". It is necessary to select this part of the menu and copy here the information from the lines "APN", "Username" and "Password".
After entering this information, under the line "Cellular" in the previous section of the phone settings, the inscription "Modem mode" should also appear. By default, this option is disabled. The user needs to move the slider and thereby.
It will be by the way to say that under the line for enabling the phone's mode of operation as a modem, you can see a brief instruction on how to configure the distribution of the mobile Internet via wifi by the device.
In addition, in this part of the settings, you can set a password for connecting other devices to the wifi network. To do this, select the line "Wi-Fi password" and in the window that opens, enter a combination of eight characters using the graphical keyboard.
Upon completion of these simple manipulations, the iPhone will switch to operating mode as a modem and will be able to provide Internet access to other devices connected via wifi to this unit. To join the formed network, the user of another phone, tablet or computer will need to select the required connection in the settings and enter the password specified by the iPhone owner.
If you need to create an Internet access point for other users on your iPad, then if you have WI-FI or a simple USB cable, this will not be difficult. The only thing that needs to be taken into account is that only you will pay for the mobile Internet, and the rest of the users will receive free access to the Internet.
To broadcast the Internet from iPad, you need to take over modem functions on it. This can be done thanks to the "Modem Mode" function built into the iPad, using which the tablet will become an access point for other smartphones, laptops and even a computer. It so happens that at night the stationary wired Internet traffic has run out for your computer and it is rather late to pay the bill of the network provider, but the iPad has a 3G connection. Using the "Modem Mode" function on the iPad, you can connect your computer to the 3G Internet network via the tablet and work further on the PC. Agree that this is a pretty handy thing. How to distribute the Internet from an iPad? There are different ways. Let's consider them in more detail.
Before creating an access point for other devices on the iPad, make sure that your 3G Internet network is turned on and functional. If the 3G function is not enabled, then swipe the main menu "Settings", select the "Cellular data" mode, and then click "Enable".
Go to the Settings menu of your iPad and activate Tethering or Cellular Data depending on your tablet model. Next, enter the password in the opened lines of the window to connect. From now on, other devices will recognize your iPad as a modem. You can find an iPad modem in any computer or smartphone using the search function for available networks and connect to it.
In addition, the tablet must provide free access to its networks for the requested devices. The distance between devices and the tablet must be more than 10 meters. If you want to create your own virtual network, choose the connection methods: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB.
Internet distribution via WI-FI
In order to turn on the Internet via WI-FI in modem mode from the iPad, you need to turn on the Wi-Fi mode and go to the "Settings" menu in the connected device, and then select the name of the iPad that distributes Wi-Fi. Then write the appropriate password and connect.
When you cannot remember what password was from WI-FI, you can see it in the "Modem mode" section, which is in the "Settings" menu, and when there is a need to change it, you must activate the "Wi-Fi password" parameter to change to a new one. After changing the password on all devices that were previously connected to the WI-FI network, you will also need to change the password.
Internet sharing via Bluetooth
To connect an Internet network via Bluetooth, you need to create a pair between the iPad and the device to be connected. Then, on the tablet, execute the "Create a pair" command and enter the required code, which will appear in the connected device. After that, the two devices will be paired and will be able to transmit the Internet via Bluetooth.
Transfer Internet from iPad via USB wire
To connect the iPad modem with the connected device, you need to connect them using a USB cable. If your iPad asks for a connection method, then select "USB only".
Then iOS will detect the connected device. If you go to the "Network Services" section and select your tablet, you can connect this device to your network. It rarely happens that the system cannot identify your connected device. In this case, you need to restart it.
How to set up 3G internet on iPad 2
To set up internet 3G on your iPad 2, you need the tablet to support the SIM card function or duplicate the communication settings on your tablet through another iOS device. Accordingly, the SIM card must have the ability to support 3G, as well as have funds on the mobile account.
Log into the iPad in the "Settings" menu and connect to "Cellular", where select the "Cellular Data" section and click the "3G / LTE" option. Accordingly, an icon will appear in the upper corner of the tablet displaying a 3G connection.
When it becomes necessary to enter operator settings by APN, then enter them manually, if they were not filled in as a result of auto-tuning. To this end, open the "Settings" menu and enter the "Cellular" section, and then open the "Cellular data network" item and fill in the name and password accordingly. For the MTS network, for example, the name or password is mts, for Megafon, the name or password is not filled in.

With the onset of summer, almost all people move from stuffy offices and concrete apartments to nature. However, no one wants to give up the Internet, especially the owners of "apple" products. Fortunately, the modern iPhone can be used as an access point in order to enjoy your favorite sites on multiple devices at once.
Although this option is available and quite easy to connect, many do not know how to distribute the Internet from iPhone 7 and subsequent models. In fact, there is nothing difficult about it. You don't have to resort to gimmicks or connect additional devices to share your wireless signal.
How to distribute the Internet from iPhone 7
It is worth saying that you can share the Network signal from any iPhone in which the corresponding module is installed. In this case, the device, of course, must be connected to the mobile Internet.
However, it is worth considering that when additional devices are connected, the traffic will begin to increase exponentially. Therefore, when wondering how to distribute the Internet from an iPhone 7, you should first make sure that an unlimited mobile Internet tariff is used on the phone. Otherwise, the costs will be enormous.
In order to turn your favorite iPhone into a travel modem, you must first enable the "Cellular Data" options and activate the "3G / 4G LTE" function. To do this, follow these steps:
- Go to the phone settings and select the "Cellular" section.
- Enable "Modem mode". In some cases, it may be necessary to additionally activate Bluetooth.
- When a message appears on the screen about the activation of the modem mode, all that remains is to enter the password from Wi-Fi.
Your best bet is to come up with a complex wireless access code, especially if your phone doesn't have an unlimited plan. Otherwise, anyone can connect to the access point.
This is the easiest way to distribute the Internet from iPhone 7. After activation, you can visit your favorite sites from any device running on Android or Windows. However, this is not the only way to gain access to the network.
How to distribute mobile Internet from iPhone 7 via USB?
This method requires purchasing the appropriate cable. With its help, you need to connect the phone to the laptop. After that, you need to go to the control panel of the laptop and find "Network and Internet". In this section, you need to go to "View network status" and check if the connection has been activated. In turn, in the modem settings of the phone, you must check the box next to "USB only".
This method also answers the question - how to distribute the Internet through an iPhone 7. However, it should be borne in mind that in this case the connection speed will be much lower. Therefore, it will be very difficult to watch a movie or play.
On the other hand, the phone will be constantly recharged.
How to distribute the Internet via Bluetooth?
In this case, you also need to link the iPhone to the PC. Only in this case, not a cable, but Bluetooth is used. After making the connection, you need to do the following:
- Indicate the code (will be displayed on the iPhone), which is required in order to activate the "Create a pair" option.
- Connect from a PC to the phone and wait until the last one displays the inscription "Modem mode".
If everything is done correctly, the gadget will start working as an access point. In this case, it will be possible to use it as usual.
APN settings of cellular providers
In order for everything to work correctly, you need to connect the mobile Internet. Then make a few more manipulations. More precisely, you need to configure your Internet connection. To do this, just go to the gadget settings and find the "Cellular" section. If the APN configuration is not performed automatically, then you need to do it manually. To do this, select "Cellular data network". Then everything depends on the mobile operator:
- "Megaphone"... In this case, "internet" must be specified in the APN field. You do not need to fill in the password and username fields.
- "Beeline"... To activate the distribution of the Internet, "internet.beeline.ru" is indicated as the APN. The username is simply beeline.
- MTS... In this case, you need to specify "internet.mts.ru" in the APN field, and enter mts as the user and password.
Why is the internet not playing?
Some users often face this problem. However, before you start to panic and wonder why the iPhone 7 does not distribute the Internet, you need to make sure that all the settings were made correctly.
It is quite possible that the device is not simply switched to modem mode. In this case, it will be impossible to distribute the Internet.
Another common mistake is that when the gadget is connected to the computer, it turns out that an outdated version of iTunes is installed on the phone. In order to solve this problem, it is enough to install the current software version, then reboot the devices.
Also, the reasons for the inoperative modem can be more trivial. It is possible that the required module is simply missing on the device.
In most cases, the phone starts distributing the Internet immediately after activating the necessary options. Additional settings are usually not needed.
Finally
Knowing how to distribute the Internet from the iPhone 7 plus and on other models of "apple" products, you can use the benefits of the global Web in any conditions. If the signal is working properly, and all the settings have been made correctly, then many different devices can be connected to the iPhone. However, we must not forget about the security of the network. It is best to come up with a password that contains not only numbers, but also letters written in different registers. This will not only protect against freeloaders, but also from scammers who can hack mail or get other data from the phone.
