Welcome and follow me as a Samsung Galaxy M53 and today I'll show you how
0:13
you can enable and also set up your portable hotspot. Now to get started you
0:18
will want to pull down your notification panel, expand it and look for the hotspot
0:23
toggle, disregard the page flip, it's from a SIM card. So let's locate our
0:29
hotspot and for me it's right over here, mobile hotspot. Now the location of this
0:34
toggle should be unchanged or I haven't changed it so I assume for you the
0:40
toggle will be in the same exact location because this is a default orientation of all of them. So once you locate it you want to hold the toggle
0:47
the first time around and can connect to mobile network, well flight mode is
0:51
enabled so I'm gonna turn it off. So let's do it again, I'm gonna hold the
0:55
toggle and as you can see it takes me to the settings. From here you want to
1:00
select configure and you can change the network name if you want to, you can keep
1:06
it as it is, it is visible so it is a fairly easy name to realize which
1:11
hotspot is yours because it does take the name of the phone itself but
1:16
what I do recommend you to change is the password. As you can see by default it's
1:21
randomly generated password which just to know it you would have to navigate
1:25
here but alternatively I recommend you just to remove this one and set your own
1:31
Now your password does need to have eight characters in length at which
1:36
point you can save it. And below that we have some advanced options along with AP
1:42
band. Now the band allows you to select from 2.4 or 5 gigahertz. If you don't
1:51
know what this is I would recommend you to keep it at 2.4 it will ensure that
1:55
your hotspot always works and for everybody else who knows what this is
2:01
then obviously you can choose respectively which one you will be utilizing. Now below that we have a couple options though probably the one
2:11
that I would recommend changing maybe as you turn off when no device connected
2:17
and that means that if no device is using your hotspot for 20 minutes it
2:22
will then turn off the hotspot automatically. Now I'm gonna change it to
2:26
10 minutes just because 20 minutes a little bit lengthy and 10 minutes
2:31
already seems like a decent enough timer for this. And below that we have a couple
2:37
additional options. Like I mentioned for the most people I recommend keeping
2:43
majority of the settings as they are by default this will ensure that your
2:47
hotspot will work basically almost every single time you need it. So anyway make
2:53
sure you select the save button right here and from there you can close this
2:57
find your toggle once more and this time around simply tap on it. Select turn on
3:02
and our hotspot is right now running so you can connect your hotspot whenever
3:07
you need to. Once you're done with it you can either wait for the timer to turn it
3:11
off automatically or you can turn it off yourself by tapping on the toggle
3:15
once more like so and this will disable it. Now one more info when you turn on
3:21
your hotspot it turns off... when you turn on if I said turn off. So yeah when you
3:26
turn on the hotspot it turns off Wi-Fi because it uses the same antennas. You
3:31
cannot use hotspot and Wi-Fi at the same time. So just to show that off turn it on
3:37
you can see that Wi-Fi is now enabled or disabled and if I would turn off my
3:41
hotspot it will re-enable Wi-Fi. So that is something to keep in mind when using
3:48
hotspot you will always be using only mobile network for everything. But anyway
