Welcome. Ephme is an Infinix Note 60 Pro
0:05
and today I will show you how we can
0:08
enable and also set up your portable
0:10
hotspot.
0:18
So to get started, you will want to
0:21
swipe down from the top right side of
0:24
your screen as that's where our toggles
0:25
are. And in here, we're going to be
0:28
looking for our hotspots toggle. Now, I
0:32
believe it's this one right here, but
0:34
I'll check it in a second. As right now,
0:36
you can see there is no labels for these
0:39
toggles. Now, if we click right here,
0:42
it's actually going to show us the
0:43
labels. And yep, that was the hotspot.
0:45
But if you don't see this toggle
0:47
anywhere in this list, actually, while
0:49
in editing mode, which we are right now,
0:51
you can swipe down and here you'll find
0:53
all the toggles that you can add. And if
0:56
you didn't see it at the top, you'll
0:57
definitely see it here. And just to
0:59
demonstrate it, um you just need to
1:01
press on the plus like so to add it. You
1:04
are limited to 24 toggles in this uh
1:06
first list right there. So if you have
1:09
already 24, you will need to remove one
1:11
of the ones that let's say you don't use
1:14
to add a different one. And there when
1:16
you go back, this toggle will be
1:17
available to you somewhere in here.
1:20
Now, on the first uh first interaction,
1:24
I recommend holding this toggle and then
1:26
selecting more settings. This takes us
1:28
to the actual settings. And in here, we
1:30
can go to hotspot settings and change
1:32
the password. It is a randomly generated
1:35
password. And without navigating here,
1:38
I usually would say you have no way of
1:40
knowing what it is, but we actually did
1:42
see it. Yep. Here. Let's be honest, this
1:45
isn't a fun password to type. So, I
1:47
recommend just getting rid of it and
1:48
setting up your own. This is always the
1:50
best course of action. Now, your
1:52
password can be as simple as you want,
1:55
but it will need to have at least eight
1:59
characters in length. Now, there can be
2:01
letters or numbers or both. It doesn't
2:03
matter.
2:06
Now, when it comes down to the name,
2:08
this refers to the name of the hotspot
2:10
that you will be creating. So, it's what
2:12
you're going to be looking right here
2:13
for in the Wi-Fi list. Uh below that we
2:18
have security. Keep it as it is
2:20
otherwise you can just turn off your
2:22
password which means anyone without
2:24
password can connect to your hotspot.
2:27
Not the best kind of thing. And we also
2:30
have AP band which is uh
2:33
unchangeable for some reason in here. I
2:36
have no clue why. Set to five.
2:42
H
2:44
interesting. So, we have 5 GHz band
2:46
right here enabled and I can't change
2:49
it. Now, typically you would be able to
2:52
change it to something like 2.4. I am
2:54
completely baffled why that is not the
2:58
case right here. I'm going to turn off
3:00
some of the toggles. Maybe one of them
3:01
is just being annoying.
3:06
Nope. If I go back about this.
3:10
Ah, there we go. So, it looks like using
3:14
the Wi-Fi 6 protocol enables only the 5
3:18
GHz connection.
3:21
Now, I'm not sure why this is a thing
3:24
considering if I go in here and change
3:26
it to 5 GHz. This is Wi-Fi 6. So, I'm
3:30
not sure why the toggle there is just
3:32
kind of like a weird thing
3:36
cuz in here you can choose between the
3:39
Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi 6 protocol while in
3:43
there it's a toggle that prevents you
3:44
from changing it here. So, it makes it a
3:46
little bit annoying.
3:48
Uh but in case explain this the 2.4 and
3:51
5 GHz both of them I would say do have
3:54
their time and use. I personally use the
3:58
2.4 for all the time just because it's
4:01
more convenient and because this is
4:04
going to be a hotspot running from
4:05
mobile network the benefits from the 5
4:08
GHz connection
4:10
mean absolutely nothing. So to explain
4:14
this
4:16
any kind of device that uh ever had
4:18
Wi-Fi connectivity
4:20
ever released in time was using the 2.4.
4:24
Now later on you started getting things
4:25
like Wi-Fi uh 6, Wi-Fi 6 e- labels and
4:29
then now 7
4:31
uh these are just newer versions of just
4:34
Wi-Fi which uh give access to different
4:37
frequencies. Um to explain this just a
4:40
little bit um so for instance Wi-Fi 7
4:43
uses all frequencies 2.4 5 and six which
4:46
isn't here. Uh Wi-Fi 6 which we do have
4:50
here is using the 5 GHz. Don't get me
4:53
wrong, it is I know. I know.
4:54
You know, calm down. I I know that there
4:57
was a much better way to name this. Like
4:59
Wi-Fi,
5:01
no, five for 5 GHz. And then guess what?
5:03
There's also Wi-Fi 6 GHz.
5:06
Now, that one is labeled Wi-Fi 6E.
5:11
Um, yeah. Um, so in any case, uh, the
5:16
way you want to look at it is anything
5:17
with a number. The higher the number,
5:19
the the newer the technology. Anything
5:21
with additional letters to it, like
5:24
Wi-Fi 6E, is better than the nonlet one,
5:29
at least for now. Let's be honest, a
5:31
Wi-Fi is So, they might do
5:33
some stupid that completely messes
5:35
that up again. But, uh, till now, that
5:37
that's been the logic. Um, and
5:41
the higher the number, it's always
5:42
backwards compatible. So if you have
5:44
Wi-Fi 7, it supports everything below
5:46
that 6E6 and just normal one, which
5:49
means that 5 GHz or anything that is
5:51
labeled as Wi-Fi 6, like the six Wi-Fi 6
5:54
protocol, uh will be able to connect to
5:57
hotspots or just Wi-Fi that use 5 GHz
6:00
and also 2.4. So it makes it, you know,
6:05
bit uh easier to to deal with. If you
6:07
know that you have a newer device, you
6:09
don't really need to think about, oh,
6:10
can I connect to this or not? But if you
6:12
have an old device, I don't know, 15
6:15
years old, let's say, uh chances are you
6:18
will only be able to connect it to the
6:20
2.4. Uh the devices back then didn't
6:23
really support the Wi-Fi uh 5 GHz as I
6:26
don't think it was a thing back then. So
6:29
because it wasn't a thing, you were only
6:32
supporting the
6:34
the first thing that came out back then.
6:36
Uh and anything that came after that
6:38
obviously that device wouldn't support.
6:41
So you are backwards compatible but not
6:43
forwards.
6:45
Anyway, uh and now I just kind of talked
6:48
about compatibility and that
6:49
So let's kind of go to benefits and
6:51
drawbacks. Uh 2.4 is going to be
6:54
generally when we're talking about the
6:55
technology, right? Uh the frequency is
6:58
going to be slower with a higher
6:59
latency, meaning that when you click on
7:01
something, it takes a longer time for it
7:02
to to have the appearance of doing that
7:06
thing that you just tried to compared to
7:07
the five. We're talking about literal
7:09
milliseconds, but there it's there and
7:12
for gaming purposes, it's important. Uh
7:14
so higher latencies, uh slower speeds of
7:17
network and uh less devices that can
7:20
connect to that uh that band at once.
7:26
Now 5 GHz obviously improves on all of
7:28
those. Um so in a way it obviously it's
7:32
going to be better but for like I said
7:34
purposes of mobile network this doesn't
7:36
really have that much meaning because
7:38
you are for the most part going to be
7:40
always bottlenecked by your service
7:41
provider. This is the case for me. Um, I
7:45
have like 30 megabits speed uh on my
7:48
network with um
7:53
speeds that are varied depending on how
7:56
close or far away and how many obstacles
7:59
are between me and the the cell towers
8:03
that I'm connecting to. So,
8:07
uh, obviously
8:10
for me, whichever I choose, they're both
8:12
about the same because I am primarily
8:14
bottlenecked by my service provider. And
8:16
if you're the same, it doesn't matter
8:18
which one you choose, I would probably
8:19
recommend 2.4 as it just makes it much
8:22
easier to deal with it and not need to
8:23
worry about will I be able to connect to
8:25
it or do I need to go into the settings
8:26
and change it. Um, now there is one
8:30
scenario where the 5 GHz will be better
8:32
and that is if you live in a very
8:33
densely populated area and some annoying
8:36
person decided that uh his whole house
8:38
will be decked the hell out with all
8:41
smart bulbs uh that use 2.4 GHz
8:43
connectivity Wi-Fi so he can turn them
8:46
on when he's taking a uh and has a
8:49
phone on him but realized that he left a
8:51
light in the kitchen and you know I need
8:53
to turn it off. Um so for those purposes
8:58
uh or those scenarios because of those
9:00
light bulbs what might happen is there
9:02
might be basically a traffic on the 2.4
9:04
GHz connection which creates
9:06
interference between other 2.4
9:09
uh connections meaning your hotspot and
9:12
because of that you might be
9:15
encountering just random disconnects
9:17
from your hotspot or just general
9:19
problems keeping a connection or keeping
9:21
network. In this case, switching it to
9:23
five would resolve your problem
9:25
hopefully as 5 GHz network isn't as
9:27
prone to interference uh as the 2.4 and
9:31
also smart devices don't really operate
9:33
on 5 GHz frequencies. So, you also got
9:36
that benefit.
9:38
So, anyway, uh once everything in here
9:40
is set up, we can click on a check mark
9:41
to save the changes. And before we go
9:43
any further, I do want to quickly also
9:45
talk about the turn off hotspot
9:46
automatically when uh no devices are
9:48
connected uh for a certain period. I
9:51
love the certain period instead of
9:52
telling you like what the period is.
9:53
It's certain. Um,
9:56
now it is AI detect right here. I think
9:58
that's what it means for certain, but it
10:00
can specify for what exact period you
10:02
want it to run to. Uh, so if you are in
10:05
a coffee shop using your laptop and you
10:07
close the lid, put it in your bag,
10:09
usually your device would go to sleep,
10:11
at which point it would disconnect from
10:12
your hotspot and this would then start
10:14
the timer or AI detect, whichever one. I
10:18
have no idea how AI detect works to be
10:19
honest. Uh but with a timer, you know,
10:22
let's say 5 minutes, 5 minutes passes,
10:24
turns off. Now, you want this because
10:27
hotspot will consume more of your
10:28
phone's battery and when you're done
10:30
using it, it just pro protects your
10:32
battery.
10:33
Anyway, before I go also further out, uh
10:36
let's quickly touch upon the connection
10:38
management. So in here if uh someone
10:41
manages to guess your password you can
10:43
actually go in here and check out as
10:45
there will be a new field added for what
10:48
devices are right now connected. It will
10:50
be the name of the device actually. So
10:52
for instance uh if your um
10:58
phone has a name of something like John
11:00
hotspot
11:01
uh well it's going to show up here as
11:04
the name of the phone John hotspot. And
11:07
uh you can then for instance click on it
11:09
to just straight up blacklist it and it
11:12
will then appear in this list right here
11:13
which is empty meaning that that person
11:16
even with the password will not be able
11:17
to connect to your hotspot. And you can
11:19
also set up in here a one-time data
11:21
limit. So whenever you enable your
11:23
hotspot your hotspot cannot exceed the
11:25
specified amount of gigabytes used which
11:28
is a very handy option to enable in case
11:31
you have a limited data cup per month
11:34
from your service provider. You can also
11:36
do this by going into the settings. Uh
11:39
let me just go back settings. This one
11:42
will be a little bit uh better I would
11:45
say. Let's go into SIM and network
11:48
management. And in here we're going to
11:50
navigate to
11:52
I think it's data usage. Let's quickly
11:54
check data usage. data saving mode. I
11:58
think it was
12:05
no
12:08
network assistant.
12:11
But I think that's how did it just take
12:13
me to a different page.
12:23
So that's I think where we need to be
12:25
network assistant. But this is a
12:27
separate application that I get taken to
12:29
by the looks of it. And uh
12:33
see where the hell was the data saver?
12:41
Nope. Bear with me while I'm trying to
12:43
figure this out. Uh I do have to say the
12:45
options right here for Infinex are
12:49
they do exist, but they're pretty
12:51
freaking bad. And the way to find them
12:53
is also absolutely infuriating.
12:56
Um,
12:59
I know for a fact it's one of these
13:00
piece of options, but figure out
13:03
which
13:05
option it is. I have no goddamn clue.
13:10
I'm going to pause the video, try to
13:12
find this uh crappy option because I do
13:14
find it very important for people that
13:15
do have a data cup limit. And I believe
13:18
you should uh potentially just enable
13:21
this if you have something like 5 GB of
13:23
data per month. Uh this would kind of
13:26
save your ass and in the long run when
13:28
using hotspot usually, you know, all
13:30
Google kind of website services
13:33
uh hoover up data like crazy. So this
13:36
would basically give you a little bit of
13:38
peace of mind that uh crappy Google,
13:40
right? If you use hotspot to I don't
13:42
know, maybe give data to your smart TV,
13:46
right? Wrong choice, Bucko. That's going
13:48
to be like 2 GB gun instantly. Uh, smart
13:52
TVs hoover up data because they need to
13:54
basically send uh screen images of what
13:56
the TV is showing. So, anyway, I'm going
13:59
to pause it, try to find it, and uh come
14:01
back either with no info if I didn't
14:03
find it or with the actual info.
14:07
Okay, I eventually found it. So, we're
14:11
going to go back to the SIM and network
14:12
settings. Going to scroll down data
14:14
usage. Uh so you have the network
14:17
assistant open. You're going to scroll
14:19
down and select settings right here. And
14:21
this is the options. Now these are
14:23
pretty damn bad like I mentioned. Uh but
14:25
they're better than nothing. And the way
14:28
this works right here is let's start off
14:29
with the middle option right here. Data
14:31
uh when data plan is used up. You can
14:33
either have it uh warn and turn off
14:35
mobile data. You can only get a warning
14:38
or do absolutely nothing. Uh the default
14:40
option is the first one that is selected
14:42
which is okay. And here you can specify
14:45
in percentage uh when that data like
14:48
data usage warning levels. So 80%
14:52
um which means that in this case once
14:55
you reach 80% of your monthly cap used
14:58
which I have no clue how it knows how
15:00
much of that that is because
15:03
you can't specify it in here. Um, so
15:07
assuming it actually detects that you
15:09
get like, I don't know, 5 GB, you can
15:11
set it up that once it reaches 80% of
15:13
that 5 GB, it will give you a warning
15:15
and also cut you off. And, uh, this
15:18
might seem kind of stupid that you're
15:20
leaving 20% on a table. But, uh, the
15:23
reason that this is actually good is
15:25
sometimes you might encounter a time
15:27
where you are left with zero gigabytes
15:29
because you used them all. and you do
15:31
need to maybe order a taxi and you can't
15:35
because you have no network. You go back
15:37
in here and basically change it to for
15:40
instance 90 or 100% and from there you
15:43
can use up uh the rest of the remaining
15:45
network that you had for the rest of the
15:47
month to for instance order a cab.
15:51
So in this way that's kind of handy I
15:53
would say. But anyway, with that out of
15:55
the way, let's move to the actual
15:56
hotspot, which was the point of this
15:58
video uh before I got sidetracked, and
16:00
find a toggle. Now that everything is
16:01
set up, we can just click on it, select
16:03
to turn on, and you're good to go. You
16:06
want to also quickly check uh everything
16:08
here seems to work. Sometimes uh when
16:11
you have Wi-Fi enabled, uh you can't use
16:13
uh hotspot or vice versa, it will
16:15
automatically turn off your Wi-Fi when
16:18
you turn on hotspot. So, in here, it
16:21
looks to work fine. Now, once you're
16:23
done, you don't need to wait for the
16:25
device to turn off this hotspot for you.
16:27
You can do that yourself by clicking on
16:30
the toggle.
16:33
So, there we go. That's basically
16:34
everything that you should know about
16:35
the hotspot right here, setting it up
16:37
and all that stuff. And if you found
