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.

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, check Hide my device.

To see the current password, touch Advanced > 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
