JAKARTA - When you need the internet for your laptop or tablet, but no Wi-Fi network is available, you can take advantage of the hotspot connection of your smartphone.

In fact, your phone is capable of sharing its mobile internet with other devices by acting like a router. This joint connection can use the hotspot feature, but keep in mind, you should also make sure your mobile data connection goes well.

There are several benefits of using your phone as a hotspot. First, you don't need to bring additional tools, all you need is a smartphone and SIM card with an active data package.

Second, the speed of data transfer is usually good enough to stream high-resolution content or download files up to 10 connected devices.

While unable to replace the standard Wi-Fi connection, your Android hotspot can be a savior in an emergency, especially for devices that cannot access the internet independently such as non-cellular tablets and laptops. To activate, here's how VOI quoted from Slashgear, Friday, October 14.

How to Enable Private Hotspots on Android Phones

1. Open the Settings app and click Network & Internet.

2. Tap the Hotspot & tethering option.

3. Select the Wi-Fi Hotspot. In the open menu, click Use a Wi-Fi hotspot.

4. Now, you can connect another device to your Android phone hotspot by activating Wi-Fi and selecting a mobile network on the available options.

5. In addition, you can also change the name of the hotspot and set the password by changing the level of security. In the Wi-Fi hotspot menu, you will see an option that says 'Name hotspot'.

6. Select and change by typing a new name. When finished, your phone hotspot will appear on another device with the name you created.

If you don't want other people to join your hotspot and spend your data quota, tap security and select WPA2-Personal. Now, click the hotspot password and change the password that you can remember easily.
