You can use your ipad as a WIFI hotspot but your ipad must have internet via WIFI or mobile data. To turn on your WIFI hotspot got to Settings > Personal Hotspot and turn on Personal Hostspot. When searching your device will show as Ipad, Enter your WI-FI Password and any device will now use your Ipads Wifi.

I hope this helps :)

Have you connect/pair your laptop with hotspot/access point ?

Before going into internet explorer, you should connect to the access point first.

You may have to go to your wireless connection properties then check to see if your laptop is set up to connect to any avaible network.

SOURCE: dell axim x51 will connect

Hi, follow the steps found in your owners manual. That can be downloaded at this link.
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/aximx51/en/om/om_en.pdf

Using Wi-Fi (802.11b)
Wi-Fi provides your device access to WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network.)
Short for wireless fidelity, Wi-Fi refers to any type of 802.11 network,
whether 802.11b, 802.11a, or dual-band. Wi-Fi certified products from
different manufacturers are interoperable.
NOTE: Mid and High configurations of the Axim have Wi-Fi 802.11b built in and the
drivers factory installed. For a Low configuration device, you must purchase the
802.11b SD card, insert it in your device, and load the drivers.
NOTE: The default Wireless Networking Client utility for your device is the
Dell WLAN utility. The following configuration steps are for the Dell WLAN utility.
Configure wireless networking for your device in one of the following
scenarios:
• Network Card is set up
• Wireless Network is broadcasting SSID
• Wireless Network is not broadcasting SSID
If the Network Card is Set Up
Normally the internal wireless card is already set up. There are times when
you must choose the network card. On the Axim X51/X51v configurations
that have built-in wireless, the network card is associated with the enabled
wireless. If wireless is not enabled or you are using a socket card for
wireless connection, then choose the network card:
1 Tap Start → Settings → Connections.
2 Tap Network Cards.
3 Choose either Internet or Work from the menu.
4 Choose the network card to connect to the network. For the
Axim X51/X51v with built-in wireless, choose Dell Axim X51/X51v
WLAN Wireless Adapter.
5 Choose whether the network card assigns an IP address or receives an
IP address automatically.
6 Enter the Server IP addresses if required and tap OK.
If the Wireless Network is Broadcasting SSID
1 Press the wireless button to enable wireless capability. The green LED
in the right top corner of the device indicates that the wireless
is functional.
2 Tap Start → Settings → Connections.
3 To add, edit, or delete a profile, select the corresponding action and
tap Network Cards.
4 In the Configure Wireless Networks window, select one of the available
network names and tap OK.

If the Wireless Network is Not Broadcasting SSID
The Configure Wireless Networks window only shows wireless networks
that broadcast a Network Name (SSID) and those that have been added.
Add the network if it is not listed. Contact your network administrator for
the following information:
• SSID (network name)
• Authentication
• Data Encryption
• Keys (if the key is not provided automatically)
• Log in if necessary
To configure the wireless network:
1 From the Configure Wireless Networks window, tap Add New.
2 Provide the Network Name (SSID).
3 Select either Internet or Work in the Connects To box.
• Selecting Internet allows you to connect to your network but you
will have to manually start a VPN connection, if needed.
• Selecting Work automatically starts a VPN connection any time
you connect to the network.
• If you are having trouble connecting to your network, change the
Connects To box to Internet.
4 Tap the Network Key tab.
5 Enter the Authentication and Data Encryption information. If a key is
required, enter the network key.
6 Select the 802.1x tab.
7 The Authentication and Data Encryption chosen on the previous
screen determines whether this screen is available. If available choose
the EAP type used on the network.
8 Tap OK.
9 If more than one network is listed, tap and hold the stylus on the
network name you want to connect to. A pop-up menu appears.
Tap Connect. After a few seconds you should see Connected next to
the wireless network you selected.
Thank you,
lee

Sir i had view sonic vpc100 all in one pc ...how can i use wifi as hotspot sir

You could turn your phone into a hotspot but not your laptop. Your laptop could create an ad hoc (on the fly) wifi connection like a link but you would need wifi to connect your laptop to the internet.

I want to get an internet connection for my laptop {which is window -7(ultimate) based } through my HTC smart F3188 how I can solve this problem....

If you have an internet connection on your smartphone (via wifi or 3g) and android 2.2 you can activate the wifi hotspot and connect your laptop wirelessly through that hotspot. You would find the wifi hotspot on: Settings>wireless networks>wifi hotspot.
if you prefer something else or you are having android 2.1 i would recommend this guide

Cannot connect samsung Galaxy tab to internet

Your question is very messy. I don't understand what are you trying to say.

Connecting to Internet need WiFi (your home wifi through your router, cafe wifi hotspot, etc) or GPRS (data connect through your carrier/SIM, like 3G, 2G, HSDPA, Edge).

For WiFi, normally you'll need a security key.

For GPRS, you'll need some settings from your carrier.

Internet on iphone 3g??

Simply go to Settings > Wifi. If Wifi is off, turn it on. You'll see a list of available networks when you're in a hotspot. You can also have iphone tell you when you're near hotspots by turning on "Ask to Join Networks." You won't be able to use the internet when you're not in a wifi hotspot.
