Option 2: Connecting via your mobile phone (tethering)

Is there no Wi-Fi network nearby, or is the Wi-Fi temporarily down? You can share your mobile phone's internet connection with the Qwiek.up using a USB cable. This is called tethering.

1. Connect the cable

Take your mobile phone's (charging) cable. Plug one end into your phone and the other end into the USB port of the Qwiek.up.
