How to set up an iPhone hotspot and sharing

Рет қаралды 784,594

Күн бұрын

Using your iPhone as a hotspot gives you an internet connection anywhere and is more secure than "free" Wi-Fi. Here I walk you through setting up a personal hotspot on your iPhone, choosing settings for Family Sharing and customizing your Wi-Fi hotspot password as well as a few built-in features that makes it easy and automatic to use across all your Apple devices.

Looking forward to trying this, because someone crashed into the mailboxes and a pole in front of our house and my Xfinity wires are down right now. The only thing that went by a little fast was when you said open network services and choose iPhone. You could spend longer on that because I really haven’t heard of “network services“ but I have heard of Wi-Fi and I assume I’m going to put the word Wi-Fi into my computer and this will come up. Thanks!

Enjoyed the video. Nice to have a tad more humor in these kinds of videos. You have a good sense of humor. Funny that you say if someone doesn’t like the video to keep their damn mouth shut when the only way that anyone can let you know that is by bashing the dislike button or typing that the person doesn’t like the video. Neither of which involves any person to even utter a word.

I have a really weak wifi signal at our holiday home so would like to use my phone's signal as a hotspot. Do I then need to turn off wifi on my phone and make sure mobile data is on, to force it to use the phone signal, which is more stable? Also, my laptop on windows 10 often doesn't list my phone's hotpsot. Lastly how do I get my ipad to stay on the hotspot and not switch back to the unreliable wifi? Thanks for any answers!
