Welcome, I'm from the music Poco F3 and today I'll show you how to enable and
0:12
set up the portable hotspot. And to get started pull down the notification panel
0:17
and look for the hotspot toggle which for me is on the second page right over
0:21
here. Once you find it hold the toggle this will take you to the well I would
0:26
say settings but it takes us a step back so you want to tap on the setup
0:30
portable hotspot and now we are in the settings. So from here let's start off by
0:36
changing the password as you can see by default it will just set some completely
0:40
abhorrent garbage of a password so not very easy to remember and also
0:46
certainly not easy to give to someone else when they're trying to connect to your hotspot. So we can remove this one and set our own now it does need to have
0:53
at least eight characters as you can see right here so make mine super
0:58
complicated. There we go it's a hundred percent secure and from here you can
1:04
also change the SSID which is going to be the name of the Wi-Fi by default it's
1:10
always going to be the name of the device so as you can see Poco F3 in this
1:14
case. Then below that we have a couple additional settings so we have security
1:19
I'll keep it as it is along with device information but the important part right
1:24
here is the AP band so as you can see we have to choose between two different ones
1:28
we have the 2.4 or 5 gigahertz. Now if you're not sure which one to pick I
1:33
would recommend you to stick with the 5 gigahertz and try to connect to it if
1:39
you try and as an example basically what happens if your device doesn't support
1:45
5 gigahertz and you look for it you simply won't find any kind of network
1:49
name or network by this name and if that is the case if you enabled your portable
1:55
hotspot with the 5 gigahertz Wi-Fi and you just don't see it then all you need
2:01
to do is go back here and change it to 2.4. Now I'll also explain why I
2:06
recommend you to go for the 5 gigahertz over the 2.4. 2.4 might be used by
2:11
virtually every device that has access to Internet but it is already a little
2:18
bit of a dated signal so it is going to be slower less stable compared to the 5
2:23
gigahertz which will have a much stronger signal along with just a faster
2:28
speed of Internet that can send. So that's why I would recommend you to try
2:32
the 5 gigahertz at least and see if your device supports it or not. And last
2:39
option is the hide SSID. I strongly recommend against that. It's just gonna
2:43
make connecting to the hotspot a little bit more annoying because if you choose
2:47
to hide it what you do is once you turn on your hotspot you need to know
2:53
the exact name of the hotspot or the Wi-Fi that you're looking for so in this
2:57
case it's a Poco F3 and also the password. It will not show up in the list
3:02
otherwise. So anyway let's turn that off and let's tap on the checkmark to save
3:08
the settings and now all we need to do is find the toggle once more and simply
3:12
tap on it to turn it on. That's it. Now once you set it up once you don't need
3:17
to go back to it as long as you remember the password. So all you will need to do
3:21
now from now on is just toggle it on and off and that's about it. Now once you do
3:26
toggle it on as you can see there is a little notification panel right here
3:30
and telling you that it is active right now. That is so you are aware that it is
3:34
enabled because with it being on your battery will be drained a little bit
3:38
quicker and your mobile data might also be drained a little bit quicker than
3:43
normally. So once you're done with it I do recommend you to toggle it off. So
3:49
that is how you could set it up and use the hotspot and if you found this video
