Set up a hotspot: Everything you need to know

What exactly is a hotspot, how does it work and how can you set it up on different devices such as an iPhone or Android smartphone? This guide will tell you everything you need to know.

What is a mobile hotspot?

A hotspot transforms your smartphone into a mobile Wi-Fi router. You can use your iPhone or Android device to bring your laptop, tablet or other smartphones online via the mobile hotspot. To do this, your smartphone makes its mobile data connection available to other devices via WLAN. You can protect this connection with a hotspot password. This ensures that only authorised devices have access to it.

Advantages of a mobile hotspot

A mobile hotspot offers you flexibility and independence. Here are some of the advantages:

Internet everywhere: Whether you're on the move or in an area without Wi-Fi, as long as you have access to a local mobile data network, you can use a hotspot to establish a reliable connection to the internet. Tip: With Ortel Mobile you use Telefónica’s fast network. This is available almost everywhere in Germany.
Connect multiple devices: You can connect multiple devices to the hotspot at the same time, such as your laptop, tablet or another smartphone.
Flexibility at work: In particular when you are travelling on business or working in a café, a mobile hotspot is the perfect solution if you want to stay online at all times.
Quick setup: A hotspot is quick and easy to set up and gives you instant access to the internet.

Do you want to bring multiple devices online with a hotspot? Please note that this can significantly increase your Datenverbrauch .

When is a hotspot useful?

A hotspot is ideal in situations where you have little or no access to a reliable Wi-Fi network. Examples are:

When travelling: Are you travelling by train or car or staying in a hotel without stable WiFi? A mobile hotspot is the best solution here.
Working on the go: If you are a freelancer or digital nomad, you can use a hotspot to work flexibly at any time and you are independent of yourhome internet and other fixed workplaces.
No WiFi at home: If your regular Wi-Fi fails, you can set up your iPhone or Android smartphone as a hotspot to continue browsing the internet or completing important tasks. Here, too, you should make sure that you have sufficient data available.

Set up a hotspot: Step by step

To use your smartphone as a mobile hotspot, you only need to follow a few simple steps. In the next sections you will learn how to set up a hotspot on an iPhone and an Android phone.

Setting up a hotspot on the iPhone

To set up a hotspot on an iPhone, simply follow these steps:

Open the settings of your iPhone.
Go to “Mobile Network” and select “Personal Hotspot”.
Enable the option “Allow other devices to connect”.
Make sure you set a hotspot password to protect the connection.

Setting up a hotspot on Android

Depending on the device model, the procedure may vary slightly, but the setup is essentially as follows:

Open the “Settings” of your Android smartphone.
Go to “Connections” and select “Mobile Hotspot & Tethering”.
Tap “Mobile Hotspot”. You may need to deactivate the “Data saving” option first.
Set a hotspot password to secure the connection.

How to connect a device to the hotspot

Once you have set up the hotspot on your iPhone or Android smartphone, you can connect other devices to your hotspot. Here are the step-by-step instructions:

Open the Wi-Fi settings of the device you want to connect.
Look for the name of your hotspot in the list of available networks.
Select the network and enter the hotspot password you set when setting up the mobile hotspot.

Your device is now connected to the hotspot and you can use the internet.

Connecting a laptop to your hotspot

Sometimes you want to view content on the go on a larger screen than your phone. In such cases, you can connect a laptop to the hotspot. To do this, proceed as follows:

Enable WLAN: Open the Wi-Fi settings on your laptop and search for your smartphone's hotspot network.
Establish a connection: Select the hotspot name and enter the hotspot password.
Test the connection: Your laptop is now connected to the hotspot and you can browse the internet.

Tips for using hotspots

To make the most of your hotspot, you should keep a few details in mind. You should

Monitor your data usage: When you use your mobile hotspot, you should always keep an eye on how much data you are using. Consumption can increase quickly, especially when streaming videos or downloading large files. By the way: With the Surf & Go tariff option from Ortel Mobile, you can use a generous 100 GB of high-speed data and also secure additional bonus data.
Use less power: Using a hotspot can significantly shorten the battery life of your smartphone. If you plan to use your mobile hotspot for an extended period of time, make sure your device is sufficiently charged or near a power source.
Terminate the connection promptly: As soon as you no longer need it, you should switch off the hotspot promptly. This can help to save data and extend the battery life of your device.
