Once the mobile hotspot is activated, you will see a name and password to connect to it. Be sure to memorize this information, as you will need it to connect other devices.

Next, on your device that you want to connect to the mobile hotspot, find the list of available Wi-Fi networks. You should see the name listed on the mobile hotspot. Select that name and enter the password you wrote down earlier.

Setting up a mobile hotspot

A mobile hotspot is a feature on your smartphone or tablet that allows your devices to connect to the Internet over a mobile network. Installing a mobile hotspot can be useful when you don’t have access to Wi-Fi or other types of internet connection.

Open your device settings.
Find the Network and Internet section and open it.
In the “Wireless Networks” section, find and select “Mobile hotspot”.
Turn on the “Mobile hotspot” feature.
Configure the mobile hotspot settings as you like. You can select a network name and set a password to protect access to the network.
Save the settings.
Other devices will now be able to connect to your mobile hotspot using the network name and password you selected.

Step 1: Check if you can use the mobile hotspot

Before you set up a mobile hotspot, you need to check if your cell phone or tablet supports the mobile hotspot feature. Not all devices offer this feature, so it’s important to make sure your device is suitable for using a mobile hotspot.

To check, follow these steps:

Open your device’s settings.
Find the “Wireless Networks” or “Networks and Connections” section. This will probably be the “Connections” or “Network and Internet” section.
Look for the “Mobile hotspot” or “Personal hotspot” option.
Click on this option and see if there is an option to enable and configure a mobile hotspot.
If you see such an option and it is active, then your device supports the mobile hotspot feature.

If you do not have the option to set up a mobile hotspot or it is disabled, your service provider may not provide this feature or it may not be part of your service plan. You should contact your carrier to learn more about the option to use a mobile hotspot on your device.
