It's already built into the device. I've tried it, it works. Here's how I did it;
First off, I disabled my providers internet (3G) connection and then enabled WiFi connection (I use BTOpenzone's WiFi service to connect to the internet, I have to open a VPN landing page to sign into the BT network), then on the Jolla, I went to Settings - System - Internet Sharing / WLAN hotspot
(Share device's mobile connection by creating a WLAN network others can join), note the password for the WLAN hotspot on Jolla, enter that password when asked on your computer/tablet/whatever and you're off!, well, I am.
I posted this answer using the connection! :)
To clarify;
I turned off my 3G connection to make sure I was only connecting via wifi.
Easy Steps;
- Turn on WiFi
- connect to your favourite wifi access point
- go to
Settings / System / Internet Sharing
- Tap on WLAN hotspot to start it (You can change the name of the network from Jolla to 'whatever SSID', same goes for the password (tapping on
abc
reveals the default password), these changes must be made before starting the WLAN hotspot). - On any other wifi enabled device, look for your newly created network SSID, connect and enter the password.
