Welcome, everyone on me is a Xiaomi Redmi A2 and today I will show you how we can enable
0:06
and also set up your portable hotspot. How to get started, you want to pull down your notifications by swiping down from the
0:14
top of your screen and swipe down once again to extend the list of toggles
0:19
Obviously we're looking for a hotspot toggle so if you don't see it on the first page you can swipe to the left to the second page and that's where my hotspot is located at
0:28
If you don't see it here, you can click on this pencil icon and once you find it somewhere
0:32
here at the bottom of your list. Let's assume that mic access is the hotspot you just grab it, it gets left up changes
0:40
the text right here to drag here to remove so we're going to drag it to the top drop
0:44
it and when you go back you should have access to it
0:48
Now anyway once you see your hotspot toggle. If you're doing this the first time around, I recommend holding it and this will quickly
0:54
take you to the settings where you can customize how the hotspot actually functions and also
1:01
more importantly you can change the hotspot password. The reason for that is because this password is set by me
1:09
Typically you will see something like this. So that would be typically your password for your hotspot being completely randomly generated
1:18
with letters and numbers. So I recommend completely removing your password that is randomly generated and setting up
1:26
your own. Now the password that you'll set, choose, will need to have at least eight characters
1:32
in length that's why mine that I have selected has basically the simplest one through eight
1:39
And from there you can click on OK to save it. Now I have a couple additional options right here like turn off hotspot automatically I
1:45
recommend keeping this on. This will ensure that once you're done using your hotspot the device turns it off for you
1:51
so you don't waste your phone's battery because hotspot will consume more of your phone's battery
1:58
And then security I recommend keeping it as it is. And when it comes down to hotspot name, this by default will be always the name of your
2:04
device so in this case it's Redmi A2 but you can change it to whatever you want
2:10
From there once it's all set you can find the toggle once again tap on it to turn it
2:16
on and now you can connect to your hotspot. Now once you're done with it you can either wait for that an activity period to run through
2:24
and turn it off automatically or you can just find the toggle once again tap on it once
2:30
more and this will turn it off. So with that being said if you found this very helpful don't forget to hit like, subscribe
