Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why can’t I see my Wi-Fi network?
Make sure the router is powered on and broadcasting. You may also need to tap “Add network” and enter the SSID manually if it’s hidden.
2. How do I limit who connects to my hotspot?
When setting up the hotspot, use a strong password and WPA2 security under Hotspot settings to prevent unauthorized access.
3. Can I use tethering while connected to Wi-Fi?
No. Tethering shares your mobile data connection, so you’ll need to disconnect from Wi-Fi and ensure Mobile Data is enabled.
