How to connect to a cellular hotspot.
When you need to connect to your cellphone's hotspot.
To connect to the hotspot:
-
Set up the hotspot on your cellular device. Follow your device's guide and make sure you confirm with your cellular provider that your plan allows for hotspots.
- On your laptop, select the option to connect to Wi-Fi.
- Locate your hotspot's name in the Wi-Fi list.
- Connect to your hotspot like you would any Wi-Fi connection.
NOTE:
The Mobile Hotspot
option in Window's Network & Internet setting is NOT use to connect to your cellular hotspot. This is used to turn your laptop into a hotspot. College laptops do not allow this option and are correctly blocked.
