Don't know how to set up a hotspot (Android)

Before you start sharing your Internet connection, you need to configure the hotspot and secure it, i.e. set a password. This is a one-time procedure, i.e. you only need to configure the device only if you haven't used the tethering (hotspot) feature before.

If you have already configured the hotspot, please skip to step 2

1. Go to Settings -> ...More  -> Tethering and portable hotspot -> tap Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings
   
   

        
   
   

2. Tap Configure Wi-Fi hotspot and set the name of the hotspot (SSID) and the password (select WPA2 PSK under Security) -> Press the back button (the arrow to the left) once you have configured it, to go back to the main Settings menu
   
   

     
   
   

3. While you are still in Settings, tap Data usage -> Move the slider next to Mobile data traffic to the right to activate Mobile data.
   
   

    
   
   

4. Go back to the Tethering and portable hotspot setting -> Move the slider next to Portable Wi-Fi hotspot to the right to start sharing your personal hotspot
   
   

   
   
   

Note: If you use a Samsung mobile device, go to Settings, tap Network connections and select Tethering and Wi-Fi hotspot. Tap Mobile hotspot to activate it.

If you use an HTC mobile device, go to Settings, tap More (under Wireless & Networks), tap Mobile network sharing and select Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot.
