About hotspots and tethering
Want to use the internet on a laptop computer or tablet but don't have a connection? You can share your
phone's cellular data connection with multiple devices by turning your phone into a Wi‑Fi hotspot. You can
also share your internet connection with a single device using USB tethering or Bluetooth tethering.
Note: Your cellular plan must support data sharing. If you don’t know, contact your carrier.
Set up Wi‑Fi hotspot
1. Check that cellular data is on. If cellular data is off, your phone doesn't have an internet connection to
share.
2. Go to Settings > Network & internet > Hotspot & tethering.
3. Touch Wi-Fi hotspot and do any:
•
To make it easier to identify your hotspot when connecting to it, change the network name for your
hotspot.
•
To prevent others from seeing your phone's network name, turn Hidden SSID on .
•
To see the current password, touch Hotspot password.
•
If the hotspot signal is experiencing interference, touch Advanced and change the broadcast
channel/band to 5GHz. If the hotspot signal seems weak, change it to 2GHz. (This feature is not
available in all countries.)
