    Bought Nokia Lumia, question about wifi tethering

    So tethering worked fine for a while. But now I am having problems. Internet sharing turns on, and Sony tablet and apple iPad find and connect to it, but the devices can't use the internet-doesn't seem to be a signal. Is there a fix for this? I can't find one. Is AT&T blocking tethering now? I...

    Bought Nokia Lumia, question about wifi tethering

    Thanks again, all. For some reason, my 710 has an option under "network setup" for LTE or for 3G. Interestingly, now it is showing LTE 1 or LTE 2, bu then has Lumia 900 after it. I tried to select LTE, but then it doesn't find the network. But the 3G works fine.

    Bought Nokia Lumia, question about wifi tethering

    I just ordered a new Nokia Lumia 710, unlocked, from a reliable seller on ebay, and want to use it as a wifi hotspot to connect my Sony Tablet S to. I have a dumbphone data plan with AT&T and use my old Nokia N97 mini on it, and want to continue to do so, but it only shares my internet using ad...
