by

To use your phone as a hotspot, follow these steps:


  1. Check if the personal hotspot feature is enabled on your device. Go to the settings of the device you want to connect to and verify the Wi-Fi name and password. Stay on this screen until the other device is connected to the Wi-Fi network.

  2. For iPhone users: Select the corresponding button to activate the "Personal Hotspot" feature. Choose "USB Only" as the connection option. The device is now ready to connect to your computer. Connect your iPhone using a cable.

  3. For Android users: Here’s how to activate the hotspot:

    • Go to the Settings menu.
    • Enter the "Connection" or "Network & Internet" menu.
    • Look for options like "Personal Hotspot," "Wi-Fi Router," or "Tethering."
    • Configure the necessary settings for the devices you want to share the connection with.

  4. To create a hotspot:

    • Open the phone’s Settings application.
    • Click on "Hotspot & Tethering" in the "Network & Internet" section.
    • Turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot.

If the hotspot is not working, try the following steps:

  • To avoid unexpected charges, disable the hotspot option on your smartphone.
  • Check the Access Point Names (APN) settings to ensure data transmission is allowed.
  • For iPhone users who want to use their device as a Wi-Fi repeater, go to Settings, enable the "Personal Hotspot" feature, set a Wi-Fi password, and save the settings.
  • To connect your phone to a computer via the internet, go to Network & Internet settings, then Hotspot & Tethering, and enable the Wi-Fi hotspot. Configure the hotspot settings and connect to it using the name and password found in your other device’s settings.
  • For iPhone 5 users, follow these steps to set up the device as a modem: access the settings, choose "Personal Hotspot," turn it on, enable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, set a wireless password with at least 8 characters, and save the settings.
  • If you have a Samsung phone, go to Settings, select "Connections," choose "Wi-Fi Router and Tethering," and enable the "Wi-Fi Router" and "Wi-Fi Sharing" options to share your network data.

In summary, the main difference between hotspot and tethering is that hotspot requires a Wi-Fi network card installed on your computer, while tethering provides an alternative wireless connection for sharing mobile data with a desktop computer.
