Welcome, in front of me is a Motorola Edge 30 Fusion and today I'll show you how you
0:07
can enable and set up your portable hotspot. So to get started, let's pull down our notifications, extend the list and somewhere between those
0:19
toggles you should hopefully find the hotspot toggle. Now for me it is located on the second page as you can see right here
0:27
Once you locate the toggle, the first time around you will most likely need to hold it
0:31
The reason for this is it will take you to the settings where you can customize how the
0:36
actual hotspot works. So you'll have a bunch of settings associated for instance with the AP band, timeout settings
0:46
which I do recommend actually keeping, but actually the most important thing that you
0:50
will find right here is the hotspot password, which by default it is just randomly generated
0:55
absolutely atrocious and not very easy to remember. So I recommend completely removing it
1:01
From there, set up your own password which needs to have at least 8 characters in length
1:06
There we go, at which point you can tap on OK to save it
1:12
Now you can also change things like the hotspot name, as you can see right over here by default
1:16
it has the name of the device itself, so Edge 30 Fusion in this case
1:21
And honestly, password is probably the most important thing to change just because it's
1:26
number one, you have no way of actually knowing what it is without going here, and number
1:30
two, it's atrocious what it is with the default generation. So anyway, once you do so, you can close this, find the toggle once more, tap on it, and
1:42
there we go, it is right now running. Now by default the phone has timeout setting for hotspot enabled, so if you're done with
1:51
your hotspot and you forget to turn it off, don't worry, the phone will do it for you
1:55
So yeah, that's about it. Now the reason I do mention about the auto turn off is because number one, maybe some
2:04
people don't want to have it on, so maybe use your phone as like a router for some kind
2:11
of network at home or whatever it may be, so in this case you probably might want to
2:14
keep it on permanently, so you might want to turn that section off
2:19
For majority of the people, this will basically make it so when you need it, you can turn
2:24
it on and utilize it, and when you forget to turn it off, it will turn it off for you
2:28
and save some battery on your device. Now hotspot does consume more battery, so it's kind of a no-brainer to keep it on if
2:35
you're not planning to have it running like 24-7. So anyway, once you're done with your hotspot, if you want to manually turn it off, just
2:44
simply tap on it like so, and this will disable it. And with that being said, if you found this very helpful, don't forget to hit like, subscribe
