Tethering your Orange Stockholm

Tethering is when you use your phone as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. This is a fairly easy function to set up, over which you can transform your device into a Wi-Fi router when you are in a location where you don't have Internet connection for your laptop. What is more important is the fact that Orange Stockholm supports USB and also Wi-Fi tethering, a very nice addition if I might say. In order to use this function of your phone you need to have mobile data enabled on your phone.
Mobile Internet Connection is enabled (button in the centre of the Power Control widget)


  • There are two types: USB Tethering (Connect a USB cable to your phone and laptop and it's done)
                                          Portable Wi-Fi hotspot (In this case you don't need a connection cable)

USB Tethering

First of all: Go to settings
                   Wireless & networks
                   Tethering & portable hotspot
Then connect your phone to your laptop and tick USB Tethering.
It's simple as that.

Portable Wi-Fi hotspot


First of all: Go to settings
                   Wireless & networks
                   Tethering & portable hotspot
                   Tick Portable Wi-Fi hotspot
Go to: Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings
           Configure Wi-Fi hotspot
Configuring your Wi-Fi hotspot
                  There give a Name to your hotspot
                  Select WPA2 PSK security
                  And finally give a Password for your hotspot

And there you go. You have your own Wi-Fi hostpot. Connect with your laptop to it!
