WiFi HotSpot Connection

Dear BlackBerry Community
I have had my BBTorch 9800 OS6 over a year now which is a fantastic phone which compliments any work I undertake, as I do use my phone as a modem.
I find that at times I may have to text but this puts pressure on the connection plugs, when connected to the PC.
I have been trying to find a BB App which contains a WiFi Hotspot connector, one where I do not have to put pressure of the components of both my BB phone and PC.
I understand the Torch 9810 carries this application as standard, can this application be installed on the Torch 9800 but also found in our BlackBerry App World.
Any info concerning this will be much appreciated.
Yours Sincerely
JTV

Hello,
Please refer to this KB:
KB31857 How to setup and manage a Mobile Hotspot Connection
The hotspot function is limited to 1) your carrier allowing such and 2) having OS 7.1 on your BB. HotSpot is not an add-on app available via any means other than meeting those two contingencies.
Good luck!

  • How to set up wifi hotspot connectivity

    I have an old laptop that was upgraded from XP to Vista Business. It runs OK but is very slow. I have Fios wireless at home and it connects fine, but the In-house Agent won't run properly (blank pages for the Internet & Phone sections...Chat tech was unhelpful). My question is: how can I set up the hotspot connectivity without having to use the worse-than-useless In-house agent?

    the link I gave is for a windows machine 
    Droid has it's own app, and boingo is what Verizon uses - so you can safely download boingo and then when it asks for your login, you put your VZ log in info.   
    you DO have to create a seperate WIFI log in though,  So you should go to www.verizon.net/
    Hover over my verizon and then select VIEW all from the my services menu  > then select internet on the left hand side menu > then select manage under the verizon wifi section.
    Manage gives you two options 
    Find Wifi Hotspots 
    WiFI how to demos
    Select Wifi how to demos and then click and follow the registration link
    when you get there, it wants you to sign in, you sign in with your main account, and then you go through the Wi-fi registration steps to make a Verizon WIFI username  
    these are going to be seperate usernames, one used for your account and online access, you already have this one
    and the next is one specifically for wifi hotspot access, you are creating this one (if you haven't already done so) 

  • HT204409 Option of wifi hotspot connect has been disappear in my setting of iphone 4, can somebody help ?

    Hi, My iphone 4 has deleted somehow the function of wifi hotspot in settings. Can somebody help to get it back. It happens a few days ago automatically.

    Thanks for replying. I did what you said. Restored from iTunes. Then set up as new iPhone. No luck. Still can't connect to my time capsule network. Before I restored, I backed up her iPhone to computer, I'm going to restore from back up if possible because my wife had a bunch of stuff on her phone. I hope for my sake I can get it back.  Also, it's really weird because her phone was working fine with my airport express network. I replaced the AE with the time capsule and now it doesn't work.

  • IPad connects to free WiFi Hotspots, but NOT on my home WiFi network

    First, let me say that I have my iMac and a PC laptop working on my home WiFi network with no problems. My iPad connected to my home WiFi network for several months until about a week ago or so, somewhere around the time that I updated my iPad to OS 4.3.3.
    In the General settings section I have reset the NETWORK setting several times to no avail. I changed my network SSID twice, and changed my WAP2 password 3 times. My iMac and PC laptop worked like a charm for each change. But, like I said, my iPad has no issues connecting to free WiFi hotspots like at coffee shops, but "cannot join my Clearwire WiFi network" at home.
    My guess is that I have an OS issue, but if anybody knows anything better, please let me know.
    Thank you.

    I think the OS issue is with the password because free WiFi hotspots don't require passwords. So, all of my RF circuits are fine. My password is correct because when I changed it in the Clearwire WiMax modem\router, I was able to connect with the new password on my iMac and PC laptop with no problems.
    I have a 3 month old Clearwire 4G modem\router. My iPad worked great from the day I installed it. It stopped working around the time that I updated my iPad OS to 4.3.3.
    I am hoping that there is an OS fix because I had Clearwire on the phone for over an hour and we re-booted the modem\router several times and reset it to its default values. Again, I have no problems connecting with my iMac or PC laptop. They work like a charm, just like my iPad used to.

  • I created a wireless network with my Time Capsule but would like to connect this network to a WiFi Hotspot for Internet Access

    I have created a Wirelss Network at home with the Time Capsule and would like to connect this network to the Internet.
    I can't use LAN Cable to connect to it anything becasuse I usually use the WiFi that runs through my building.
    Can I connect the Time Capsule to the WiFi hotspot somehow so that all computers on my network have Internet access and if so, what do I need?
    I need this done because the computers can only be connected to either the WiFi network or to my Time Capsule Network at any given time.
    Or is there a way to be connected to both networks simultaneously?
    I have two PC's and two Macs.
    Thank you for any support and I apologise for my ignorance. I am not too good with networking.
    I have tried the silliest of things like connecting a router to the TC only to then realise that the TC had an inbuilt router.
    I tried connecting a USB WiFI adapter to the USB Port on the TC but it doesnt detect it that way apparently.
    Please help!

  • I have an iPhone 4 and am in Nepal. My phone was previously able to connect to wifi, but now is unable. I have an iPad and that is able to connect just fine. This problem is with every wifi hotspot I have tried so it is the phone not the modem.

  • MBA as a Wifi hotspot without other connection

    Hi. I am running a web server on my MBA and I would like others to be able to connect to this server. For security reasons, I can't run a server on a specific network.
    I would like to disconnect my MBA from WiFi, turn it into a WiFi hotspot that others can connect to, and then they can navigate to my web server in their browser.
    I realize that my MBA and all of the devices connected to it would no longer have access to the internet, only my web server.
    is this possible?

  • Cannot connect to any O2 wifi hotspots

    My iPhone has stopped connecting to any O2 wifi hotspots. It used to connect fine but a couple of months ago it just started coming up with the error message "unable to join network". I have tired resetting network settings, restarting the phone, turning the wifi on and off, disconnecting and reconnecting and pretty much everything else support says to do when it wont connect. Is this a problem with my phone or the actual wifi? My phone connects fine to any other wifi.
    Thanks

    Already done that.
    I thought it might be but wasn't too sure. The only other people who have had the same problem as me have iPhones which is why I thought it might be a problem with apple
    thanks

  • IPad 3 with iOS 6 won't connect to Wifi Hotspot

    I have a new iPad running iOS 6.01.  It connects to wifi networks perfectly.  I also own a Blackberry 9900 that is capable of running a wifi hotspot.  The iOS6 iPad will not connect to my hotspot.
    It is NOT the hotspot that is the problem. PCs connect to it as does my Android tablet.  In fact I tried an iPad 2 with iOS v5.x and it connected instantly as well.
    This is an iOS 6 problem I am positive.  Any ideas anyone?  Reseting network connections does not work.
    Thanks,
    Shawn

    I tried the method above several times however I had to refine it using the following method:
    Once I received the message on the iPad settings window "unable to connect to network" I unticked the hotspot  option on the blackberry. The mobile network and Wi-Fi boxes on your blackberry should both remain ticked, retick the hotspot box on your blackberry and only when the word "connecting" appears next to the box select the join button on the network settings on your iPad or choose your hotspot in the network list.
    You should now be able to switch between your Wi-Fi networks and your hotspot, if this does not automatically happen then Repeat of the above process waiting for the word "connecting" before joining the hotspot network.
    Now you're not forced to buy an iPhone!!!
