LG Optimus V: Wi-Fi Hot Spot Setup

I set Wi-Fi hot spot using my LG Optimus V. It worked. However, I don't need to actually go that route. Nowadays, almost all the places I go have free Wi-Fi hot spot available.

I'm not going to write anything about the setup unless I get a request.

By the way, the MAC address for the Wi-Fi hot spot is the same MAC address you found this way.

LG Optimus V: Secured Wi-Fi Connection Setup

My friend asked me how did I setup secure connection to my wireless router. It is pretty simple after you find the MAC address.

This is what you need to do at the Wi-Fi router.
1. Make sure you get the encription right;
2. Security System: WPA/WPA2 PSK;
3. Encription TKIP;
4. Your faviorite pass phase;
5. Add the MAC address of the LG Optimus V you found in to the trust station list if you maintain a list.

However, you have to watch the total number of MAC addresses you put in there. It usually has a limit of 5. Your Wi-Fi router will not accept connections that has the MAC addresses of the fifth device.
