Welcome, in front of me is a Google Pixel 6a and today I'll show you how you can
0:05
enable and also set up your portable hotspot. So to get started, pull down your
0:14
notification panel, expand it and in here you should find somewhere hotspot toggle
0:22
Now if you don't see it on any page, kind of like I don't, tap on this pencil right
0:30
here and you can see that it is right here, at least it is for me. Once you find
0:38
yours somewhere below, hold it and then drag it to the top, drop it and then you
0:46
can go back and your hotspot toggle should be now accessible somewhere in
0:50
the toggles. For me it's right here, it's kind of where I dropped it, so there we go
0:54
Now before you tap on it, you do want to hold it, this will take you to the
0:59
settings where you can customize primarily things like the password, which is by default randomly generated and honestly has a little bit more than 8
1:08
characters, it's not easy to write or remember, so I recommend removing it
1:16
I mean your password has to have at least 8 characters in length and you can
1:22
save it from there. Now we do have a couple other settings right here like
1:27
hotspot name, turn off hotspot automatically, extend compatibility, so this will I believe enable 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi, while with it off it's
1:38
probably using only 5 gigahertz, so if whatever device you want to connect to
1:43
your hotspot with simply doesn't see your hotspot and all you need to do is
1:48
just enable this, it will add a 2.4 gigahertz and should function no
1:51
problem from there. And I do recommend keeping this on, turn off hotspot
1:55
automatically, that will ensure that once you're done using your hotspot and you forget to turn it off, it will do it on its own. The reason why I recommend doing
2:03
that is because hotspot does consume more battery, so once you're done with it
2:07
it will turn it off automatically and you don't have to remember it and your
2:11
battery doesn't need to be drained for no reason. Anyway, once you went to the
2:16
settings here, find the toggle once more, tap on it to turn it on whenever you
2:20
want to use it. Now you can also turn it off yourself once you're done with it by
2:26
tapping on a toggle once again and obviously this will turn it off. So
2:33
anyway, this is how you can set up and use your hotspot and if you found this
