Welcome, from the museum Motorola Moto G 5G Plus and today I'll show you how to
0:12
enable and set up the portable hotspot. To get started let's pull down the
0:17
notification panel and find the hotspot toggle which looks like it's by default
0:24
disabled so we will need to add it by tapping on the pencil right here
0:29
So you wanna just hold it and it will become draggable and from here just drag it over
0:34
to the top part of the notification panel and tap on back and you should see
0:41
it, there we go. So from here hold it it will take you to the settings and from
0:47
here you wanna navigate into Wi-Fi hotspot and start off by tapping on
0:52
advanced which will expand the list and give us more options. So probably the
0:58
most important part I would say would be changing the password by default just
1:02
some kind of randomly generated password so we can completely remove it and set
1:07
your own. It needs to have at least eight characters and length and from there tap
1:11
on OK and that will change it. Then another option here is the AP band so
1:17
you have by default set to 2.4 gigahertz but you can also change it to 5
1:23
gigahertz. Now there's a little caveat to this 5 gigahertz will be better, faster
1:30
but older devices will not support it so if you have some relatively dated device
1:36
and you select it to be at 5 gigahertz and you enable Wi-Fi and your device
1:41
just flat-out cannot see it that means that just doesn't support it and what
1:46
you will need to do is go back here and change it to 2.4 instead of 5 but I
1:50
would still advise you to try it at 5 if your device supports it then you're just
1:55
gonna have better experience. Apart from that at the top we have the hotspot name
2:00
this is just gonna be the name of the Wi-Fi that will be visible in the list
2:04
and you can change it if you want to keep it as it is it really won't change much. Then below that you have hide my device I would strongly discourage you
2:13
from selecting that it will literally hide the Wi-Fi from being found so
2:19
whenever you're trying to connect to your Wi-Fi I don't know if you ever noticed but at the bottom of the list for Wi-Fi so you have things to add
2:25
manually and it will require you to put in the Wi-Fi name basically insert it
2:31
manually and then also put a password for it and then it will connect it will
2:36
not be shown anywhere apart from that people will not know the name of it and
2:43
also that's about it. We also have the security but I would strongly suggest to
2:50
keep it as it is the other option is to have none which will allow anybody to
2:54
connect to it. So from there once you have set it up and simply close this and
3:00
never come back to this settings ever again and all you need to do now is simply tap on the toggle which will enable it whenever you want it and once
3:08
you're done with it make sure you turn it off otherwise it will be consuming a
3:11
little bit more battery. So that is how you would enable, disable and set up the
3:17
hotspot and if you found this video helpful don't forget to hit like, subscribe and thanks for watching
