Instant Hotspot
Lost your Wi-Fi connection? Use the Personal Hotspot on your iPhone or iPad to connect your
Mac mini to the Internet.
Note: Personal Hotspot requires an iPhone or a cellular model iPad, with iOS 8 or later.
Connect to your device’s personal hotspot. Click the Wi-Fi status icon i n the menu bar, then
choose your iPhone or iPad from the list of devices that appears. (You don’t need to do anything
on your device—Mac mini connects automatically.)
Check the status of your connection. Look in the Wi-Fi status menu to see the strength of the
cellular signal.
When you’re not using the hotspot, your Mac mini disconnects to save battery life.
