We have recently gone full time in our RV & I’m depending on Lenovo P71 & Lenovo Sierra Wireless EM7455 for my small business. I have Verizon’s unlimited data plan for this set up & it includes 15gb of Hotspot usage each month. I’ve been running this setup for a few years & only used it when traveling. I am trying to understand Hotspot usage as calculated by Verizon (by the way… have already talked to them NO HELP).
On the surface it appears if I use the P71, all usage on the cellular connection is calculated as Hotspot usage. I based this supposition on a review of data usage provided by my Verizon billing. I do not have the Hotspot feature turned on, I’ve done the normal things like metered connection, limiting the apps accessing the internet, etc, etc. I limit usage on this device to email, web searches, uploading/downloading files (normally less than 1mb). Any media streaming is done over the RV park’s WIFI.
I was under the impression Hotspot meant a device, other than the base device, was utilizing bandwidth you have elected to share.
Is there some technical or user’s manual which explains how Hotspot functions?
Thank you.
We have a guideline to activate or deactivate a specific data connection between the host and network ( I think you are successful on this), not Hotpot function document. You can refer to some Hotpot applications for the introduction
