Sharing a laptop’s internet connection wirelessly is so convenient when you need online access on the go. A few extra tips that may be useful:
- For security, consider using a randomly generated password instead of default ones.
- The 5GHz bandwidth works better for streaming/gaming as it’s less crowded, but 2.4GHz has wider range so may be better if mobility is important.
- Android and Windows both allow customizing hotspot settings like automatically turning off when laptop sleeps/powers off. This saves battery when not in use.
- Checking for firmware/driver updates on the laptop periodically helps ensure best hotspot performance over time.
How To Setup The Sharing.
- Open the network settings and click on the wireless hotspot option.
- Enter a name and password for the hotspot.
- Select the appropriate bandwidth option.
- Click save and then turn on internet sharing.
