How do I get my hotspot to turn on?

Answered by Cody Janus

To turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot on your Android device, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your Android device. You can usually find it in the app drawer or by swiping down from the top of the screen and tapping the gear icon.
2. In the Settings menu, scroll down and tap on “Network & internet” or “Connections,” depending on your device.
3. Look for an option called “Hotspot & tethering” and tap on it. This may be listed under the “Wireless & networks” section or in a separate category.
4. In the Hotspot & tethering menu, you will see different options for sharing your connection. To enable Wi-Fi hotspot, tap on “Wi-Fi hotspot” or a similar option.
5. Toggle the switch to turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot. You may be prompted to set up your hotspot by entering a network name (SSID) and password. If so, enter the desired information.
6. Once the Wi-Fi hotspot is turned on, the hotspot name (SSID) will be displayed on the screen. Other devices can now connect to your hotspot using the provided network name and password.

It’s worth noting that the steps may vary slightly depending on the make and model of your Android device, as well as the version of Android you are using. However, the general process should be similar across most devices.

Additionally, keep in mind that using your device as a Wi-Fi hotspot may consume a significant amount of data and drain your battery quickly. It’s recommended to keep an eye on your data usage and charge your device if needed while using the hotspot.
