is a metered Wi-Fi network.

these metered Wi-Fi networks.

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, 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 available in all countries.)
Connect devices to 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.
