Tethering Iphone 6 Plus
Tethering lets you share the Internet connection from your Apple iPhone 6 with a computer. Please note that youʼll be using data from your mobile service and charges may apply. In this example, we used a Windows® 7 computer. In step 8, we selected “Home network” because we know and trust both the Apple iPhone 6 and the computer. Step 1, Open the iPhone's Settings. You can find the Settings app on your Home screen. The icon is a gray gear.Step 2, Tap the Personal Hotspot option. This can be found in the first group of options in the Settings menu. If you don't see this option, tap Cellular (or Mobile Data on a British phone) and then tap Set Up Personal Hotspot. You may be prompted to call your carrier to subscribe to a plan that supports the Personal Hotspot feature. It may require an additional fee. If you don't.
Set up Personal Hotspot
- Go to Settings > Cellular or Settings > Personal Hotspot.
- Tap Personal Hotspot, then tap the slider to turn it on.
If you don't see the option for Personal Hotspot, contact your carrier to make sure that you can use Personal Hotspot with your plan.
Connect to Personal Hotspot with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB
You can connect to a Personal Hotspot using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB. Here are some tips for using each method.
When you connect a device to your Personal Hotspot, the status bar turns blue and shows how many devices have joined. The number of devices that can join your Personal Hotspot at one time depends on your carrier and iPhone model. If other devices have joined your Personal Hotspot using Wi-Fi, you can use only cellular data to connect to the Internet from the host device.

Introduction
After working with a couple of retail cellular providers for the last five years, I came to realize that one of the most overlooked features of the iPhone is the ability to create your own personal hotspot, or WiFi connection using your phone. Also known as 'tethering'. This Instructable will show you step-by-step, with images, how to use your Apple iPhone 6 (iOS 9.0.2) to create a personal hotspot. This feature is great if you have children and are on the road, meaning they cannot stream their cartoons on their iPad without internet connection (unless their iPad has built-in wireless service, of course).
