Learn how to use USB tethering on your Huwei Ascend Mate. Want to access the Internet from multiple devices when you are on the go? Use USB tethering or set your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot to share its data connection with other devices.
You can share your phone’s data connection with a computer using a USB cable. To use USB tethering, you may need to install your phone’s driver on the computer or establish a network connection, depending on your computer’s operating system. If your computer runs Windows 7, Windows Vista, or a latest Linux operating system (such as Ubuntu 10.4), you can use your phone’s USB tethering function without configuring any settings on the computer. If your computer runs an earlier version of Windows or another operating system, it will identify your phone and install its driver automatically.
