Data transmission on Windows Phone does not turn on. Using Windows Phone as a modem to access the Internet. When the smartphone can not get the IP address

For the Windows Phone operating system, I have already opened a special on this site. This is the third article in this section, and in it I will write on how to configure the distribution of the Internet by Wi-Fi on the phone that works on Windows Phone 8 (There is no official update to Windows Phone 8.1 yet, as soon as it appears, I will edit an article if there are changes in setting the internet access).

For a few days of using the phone on Windows Phone, I really like this mobile system. This is something new and fresh, compared to the android, which I have already just tired. Now, we will turn Windows Phone 8 to the most real Wi-Fi router. We will configure the distribution of the Internet, in the mobile operating system from Microsoft, this feature is called "General Internet".

Honestly, I really liked how this feature is made in Windows Phone 8. It's simple, and everything works like a watch, compared to HTC One V (Android 4.0). I think that the "General Internet" feature looks the same on all phones with Windows Phone 8. I will show on the example of Nokia Lumia 925.

We will need to just turn on the mobile Internet (data transfer). You can use 2G, 3G and even 4G networks. It all depends on your phone, provider and coating. Further, in the "General Internet" section, it is enough to enable the function, set the network name and password to it. And all, our phone will distribute the Internet, which will take from the mobile provider. You can connect other mobile devices, tablets, laptops, televisions, etc.

And now more.

Phone on Windows Phone 8 as Wi-Fi Routher

First, you need to enable data transmission. Simply put, you need to turn on the mobile Internet if it is disabled. Go to the settings (While on the desktop, spend your finger left and select the "Settings" list in the list). Further looking for item " data transfer", Go to it and choose" included". Below, you can specify the fastest connection 2G, or 3G.

AttentionFor the use of mobile Internet, the operator can make money. Sometimes, not small money. Specify the tariff for which you can go online. Now, operators offer not expensive tariffs, for example, with payment per day.

When the Internet earn, then the corresponding icon should appear on the notification panel.

A window appears in which you want to change the name Wi-Fi network that the phone will be broadcast, and the password to this network. And you can leave those data that already specified. Click on the button " ready“.

All, our phone on Windows Phone 8 already translates the Wi-Fi network, you can connect other devices to it. At the same time, you can connect no more than 8 devices. This is quite enough (on android, maximum 5 devices). By the way, the general Wi-Fi Internet access is enabled, you will find out the icon that appears on the notifications panel.

To connect, simply select the available networks in the list. (on the device you want to connect to the Internet)Our network and specify a password that can be viewed in the "General Internet" section.

On the laptop, it will look something like this:

How to connect the device on Android, read. Oh, I also wrote.

To stop the distribution of the Internet, simply turn off this feature in the "General Internet" section.

By the way, you can set the mobile Internet limit, for example, per day, and the phone will warn you when the limit will end. So, you can save ourselves from additional expenses. After all, the Internet is over the limit, as a rule, is not cheap.

It all is done there in the settings. Just swipe left to go to the tab " applications". Select " data control". Click on the button " set limit", And follow the instructions.

A very useful feature that can be useful not only when setting up shared Internet access, but also with the usual use of mobile Internet on the phone.

Even think difficult and imagine your smartphone (for example Dell Venue Pro, HTC Arrive, HTC 7 Pro, HTC HD7, HTC HD7S, HTC Mozart, HTC Surround, HTC Trophy, HTC Titan, HTC Titan II, HTC Radar, Nokia Lumia 610, Nokia Lumia 710, Nokia Lumia 800, Nokia Lumia 900, LG Optimus 7, LG Quantum, Samsung Focus, Samsung Omnia 7, Samsung Focus Flash, Samsung Focus S, Samsung Omnia W) without work Internet, which makes it possible to realize a large share of the capabilities of the devices on Windows Phone. Therefore, if you have become the proud owner of a Windows phone phone, first set the Internet on it. Of course, you can try to get automatic settings from your operator, but often they or do not come at all, or it is not possible to save them, so it's best to do it right away and in manual. On the Internet is not really so difficult and the whole procedure will take literally 5 minutes . First you need to go to the "Settings" menu and almost at the bottom of finding the "Access point" item to which you want to go. Surely you already have any access points there, but it is better to simply "add" a new one, since the standard often does not work.

You can use the settings that are listed below. They all were checked, and some were added by our users and were also checked to work. There were no problems.

Access point (APN): internet.mts.ru
Username: MTS

For example, I will show how these settings look at and, the megaphone operator, is very convenient because nothing else is needed to enter anything else!

You need to first select "Enabled" in "Data Transfer" mode, and then select "3G" in the "Fast Connection" item. As soon as you save all the settings, try downloading one page in Internet Explorer on the phone, or test the Internet in any way. If not earned, restart the device.

In modern life, the Internet has been closely entered into our lives, the user always needs permanent access to online information, mail and social communication. Therefore, after purchasing a smartphone on the basis of the Windows Phone operating system, probably one of the first to do is to configure the Internet and will proceed.

How to set up the Internet on Windows Phone

The whole procedure is not difficult. But for some reason often causes a lot of questions, let's decompose everything around the shelves. All you will have no more than 5 minutes.

The first thing to do is to go to the "Settings" section and go to the "Access point" item (usually it is at the very bottom). Then select "Add" and enter the technical data for your operator.

Below we give the settings of the main operators for Russia. All settings are checked and if any will change, we will update them in our article. In such a sequence, access point (APN), username and password. The sign "-" means that we leave the field empty.

For example, let us give a screenshot for the megaphone operator, it is easy to produce this setting because it is not necessary to enter anything else.

After entering the Internet settings in Windows Phone, in the "Data Transfer" mode, select it turned on, and in the Quick Connection 3G item. Then choose Save and test the Internet in any convenient browser.

If the Internet has not earned - overload the device. That's all if additional questions arise, write them in the comments.

Mobile operating system Windows Phone is now very actively developing, and it is difficult to argue with it. I also have a phone on Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 925), and I am very pleased with them. Honestly, Android is tired, I want something new. But in this article is not about my Lumia, and not about what OS is better. The phones on this operating system are working stable, and in terms of accessing the Internet on Wi-Fi, everything is just as good.

For example, I did not notice a single problem in a few months, in which Nokia Lumia would not want to connect to Wi-Fi, or the Internet would not work.

But, as I noticed, various questions about the problems that still arise when trying to connect the phone on Windows Phone to Wi-Fi, or after the connection. As a rule, these are problems when the connection to the wireless network is installed, but the sites on the phone do not open. Or, for example, when Nokia Lumia does not see the Wi-Fi network. And not sees only one, the necessary network, and sees the neighboring.

In this article, we will try to figure out why problems may arise with the connection of the phone on Windows Phone to wireless networks, and how these problems are solved. At the moment, version WP 8 (I will show this version on the example), I will soon be updated to Windows Phone 8.1. Perhaps there will be any changes in working with wireless networks.

Windows Phone to Wi-Fi is connected, but the Internet does not work

This is probably the most popular problem. And as a rule, the smartphone is guilty of this problem, but the access point itself (router) itself. You connect the phone to the network, how to do it I wrote in the article, it connects (Status: Connection is established)But when you try to open the site in the browser, an error appears: "Unable to display a page". Applications such as VKontakte, Twitter, Skype - can not go to the Internet.

When the smartphone can not get the IP address

Usually, the routers themselves distribute the IP addresses, the DHCP server is turned on on them. But, it happens that DHCP for some reason is disabled (When, for example, IP is prescribed manually on devices). Honestly, I did not find how on Windows Phone 8, you can manually register the IP address. I think that in Windows Phone 8.1, this problem will be corrected.

If your phone cannot get an IP, you will most likely see a mistake, something like: "The phone cannot be connected to the Wi-Fi network, as the network does not respond. Repeat the attempt later ". Or, near the name of the network, it will be just an inscription "Protected".

You need to check whether the DHCP server is enabled in the router settings. If not, then turn it on. How to do it, I wrote in a separate one. See after the title "Check whether the DHCP server is turned on on a Wi-Fi router."

Also, you can try on which your wireless network works. Try, for example, only n., or g..

Nokia Lumia does not see Wi-Fi Network

When I write Nokia Lumia, then I will introduce any phone on Windows Phone 🙂, well, you understood.

Highlighting a forum problem that Lumia (I do not remember exactly what model)I have not seen a home wireless network. It was simply not in the list available for connecting networks. The problem is not rare, and can be observed on any devices.

So, in the case of Microsoft Operation, I will also advise changing the channel on which the router broadcasts your wireless network. How to do it, written in detail. Since there is no interference on the channel, usually cause such problems. Try some kind of static channel, not a car mode. And do not put the channel above the 12th.

Afterword

It seems to be written about all popular problems. If you encountered some other problem in Internet work on Wi-Fi on Windows Phone, or you know some new solutions above the problems described, you can share useful information in the comments. Do not be lazy 🙂

Not always, if you need to access the worldwide network from a computer or laptop, there is access to the WiFi connection point. The output from the situation can be the ability to use Windows Phone as a modem. In this correct configuration of the device will require minimum of actions and time.

How to connect Windows Phone as a modem

The ability to use smartphones for the Internet connection through a PC or laptop is not a new option. Previously, it would take to use a USB cable, and at the moment the equipment needed to distribute the signal is already built into the mobile device.

Transmission is carried out by wireless, that is, when this option is enabled, the smartphone becomes a WiFi router that transmits a signal to other devices. This feature is available on all versions of the "tile" operating system. However, there are a number of small differences for each of them. So, for example, the 7 series of the 7 series software was able to maintain up to five devices, and the 8 series and above provides an Internet connection to eight devices.


Modem mode on Windows Phone It is activated by incorporating this feature in the "Settings" menu. When it is activated, a special indicator will appear in the smartphone status bar. In order to start using the device for distributing the Internet signal, you must perform the following algorithm of actions.

  1. Make sure the data transfer option on the smartphone and the Internet connection is enabled. It is possible in the "Network" section of the settings menu.
  2. Return to the general settings menu and find the item called "General Internet".
  3. Activate the function by clicking on this item to appear "Enabled".

Important before how to enable modem mode on Windows Phone Ensure that this feature is supported by the current cellular operator. As a rule, the distribution of the network from the smartphone for other devices is called the tezering and is charged additionally.

When you activate the "Total Internet" function, a PC or a laptop will independently detect a new available network. Just select the desired connection from the proposed list.

How to use Windows Phone as a network source

Some device owners with Microsoft's operating system want to use their smartphone for wired connections, and not as a WiFi connection point. Accordingly, it becomes an urgent topic about how to use Windows Phone as a USB modem. In order to install a wired connection, access to system files of the device is required. And the Microsoft does not give to its users due to security policies. therefore Windows Phone as a modem via USB You cannot connect to PC.

When operating a mobile device as a network connection point, you can set a password for it and the name that will be displayed on all connected devices. To do this, do the following:

  • - Open the settings section in the device menu;
  • - find the item "General Internet" and, holding it, select the option "Installation";
  • - Fill out the fields that appear.

And at least use Windows Phone as a USB modem It is impossible, the wireless network will be quite affordable for nearby devices. However, it is necessary to remember several features that the device is accompanied in a similar mode.

  1. When activating a common network, the use of a wireless connection from other sources is not possible. That is, a smartphone can only transfer the connection of the mobile operator, and not that which receives from third-party sources.
  2. Before, how to use Windows Phone as a modem It is necessary to get acquainted with the existing limitations of the mobile operator. It is determined by the fact that all device connected to the total network function on the same tariff plan as the device itself.

Considering the question how to use Windows Phone as a modem through The wireless network is also worth noting that not all mobile operators provide such a service. Also, using the general Internet, you can not just connect another device to the World Wide Web, but also create a separate local network.
