Surely, many of you have one day been away from home, in a hotel, on a trip... and the urgent need to connect with your laptop or tablet a Internet. For us smartphonesnot have a network available WiFi It is not a big problem, since they have 3G connection or even 4G, but it is for laptops and tablets without a data connection. These computers can only connect to the network via WiFi or thanks to a USB modem, but what happens if we don't have either of the two options?
Our Android smartphones offer us a solution for this, create our own WiFi zone. Next, we tell you how to create it quickly and easily, so that you never stay offline on laptops and tablets.
Create our own WiFi Zone
To create our Wifi Zone, we will only need our Android device, have a connection to the network and, if possible, a good rate that allows us to surf the Internet enough, without consuming all the Megabytes or, in the best of cases, Gigas. In just a couple of minutes, you will be able to connect from your laptop or any Android device with total comfort, without a single cable in between.
First of all, we must warn you that the location of some settings or options may vary depending on the model, manufacturer and android version. For queries, you can do so in our Android Forum, where we or other forum users can comment and lend a hand on this topic.
1. Deactivate the WiFi connection of your smartphone
The first step is to disconnect the WiFi connection from our phone. If we do not have access to any WiFi network, it will not do us any good to have it activated, since it will only serve to continuously search for a network and consume battery.
2. Activate the Wi-Fi Hotspot on your phone
Once the Wi-Fi connection is disconnected, we must activate the data connection (which is normally always active, so that it can be used when we do not have Wi-Fi). We can now activate the WiFi Zone. To do this, we turn to Settings >> Connections >> More networks >> WiFi hotspot and USB modem. Click on the switch or “switch” to activate it.
3. Write down the name and password of your WiFi Zone
Without leaving the previous screen, this time click on the text “WIFI zone”, to the left of the switch. It will take us to a screen with information about the Wifi Zone. There it will tell us the connected devices and a small guide on how to connect from other devices.
In this guide we will see the name that the Wi-Fi network that we are going to create will have, in this case it is called “androidAp” and the password of the Wi-Fi zone, both of which will be very useful to us below.
4. Connect other devices
To connect our tablet or laptop, simply turn on the Wi-Fi, search for the network with the name that we noted in the previous section (the name of our Wi-Fi zone) and enter the password seen in the previous section as a password.
Ready! We can now enjoy an Internet connection from all our devices.
We hope this tutorial will be useful to you. Have you ever used your phone as internet access for other devices? any comment, you can do it at the bottom of this article or in our Android Forum.
