## **Instructions**
|
|
|
|
### Part One
|
|
1. Turn **off** blutooth on computer
|
|
1. Turn **off** blutooth on phone
|
|
1. Turn **off** Wifi on phone
|
|
|
|
### Part Two
|
|
1. Turn on wifi hotspot **or** usb tethering
|
|
|
|
### **Verify!**
|
|
You want to verify that you are connected to your Android hotspot.
|
|
Android tether is a router that will stand up a subnet of `192.168.43.0/24` for wifi hotspot,
|
|
and `192.168.42.0/24` for usb tether.
|
|
|
|
* On linux open a terminal and type `ip addr`
|
|
* on Windows open a `cmd` console and type `ipconfig`
|
|
|
|
* If tethering via wifi hotspot you should see an ipv4 address of `192.168.43.XX`
|
|
* If tethering via usb you should see an ipv4 address of `192.168.42.XX`
|
|
|
|
### **ACHTUNG Do Not!**
|
|
* **DO NOT** turn on ethernet tethering
|
|
* you probably don't have the physical equipment available to do that
|
|
* **DO NOT** turn on blutooth tethering
|
|
* $#*?#* **DUH!!**
|
|
* **DO NOT** turn on blutooth
|
|
* Your phone's radio hardware already has enough to do, trying to simultaneously maintain an LTE uplink to your mobile carrier and a wifi downlink to your computer
|
|
* **DO NOT** turn on wifi
|
|
* Don't let your phone try to connect to something that isn't working right now
|
|
* **DO NOT** forget to turn off blutooth

### Blutooth
|
|
If you leave blutooth on while trying to tether, your phone could get hot, your battery could go dead, and your hotspot could fail to work properly.
|
|
Be surprised it it doesn't crash and soft-reboot.
