How to Use Your Smartphone as a Wi-Fi Hotspot.

If you have a smartphone and a data plan, you can use your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot. This allows you to connect your laptop or other device to the internet without using a public Wi-Fi network or using your data plan. To use your smartphone as a Wi-Fi hotspot, you'll need to enable the feature on your phone. This is typically done in the settings menu. Once you've enabled the hotspot feature, you'll need to choose a name for your network and set a password. Once your hotspot is enabled, you can connect your laptop or other device to the internet by selecting your hotspot's name from the list of available Wi-Fi networks. You'll be prompted to enter the password you set earlier. If you're not using a data plan, you'll need to connect your phone to a Wi-Fi network before you can use it as a hotspot. Otherwise, you'll use up your data very quickly. If you're using your phone as a hotspot for your laptop, you'll want to make sure that your laptop is configured to automatically connect to known networks. This will ensure that your laptop will automatically connect to your hotspot when it's in range, which can save you some time and hassle.
