You can do this using the Wi-Fi hotspot feature on your phone, but it's not recommended. This will use your mobile data plan, which could be expensive for you depending on the data plan you have with your carrier. Note you will need 2 devices to set this up.

  1. Turn on the Wifi hotspot feature on a phone or tablet. If you're not sure how to do this, refer to the manufacturer's support website.
  2. Connect a second phone or tablet to that Wifi hotspot.
  3. You can then use that second phone or tablet to setup your device and connect it to the Wifi hotspot on the first phone or tablet.
