How do I start my Hotspot?

This should be very simple and already set, but I am unable to locate my Hotspot activation.

Hello @Cariinindy

Thank you for the post.

 

Before you can set up your Personal Hotspot your data plan must include a Personal Hotspot feature. Please confirm your data plan includes a Personal Hotspot then turn off Wi-Fi, as Wi-Fi must be disabled to enable Personal Hotspot.

Apple devices, from the home screen, select the Settings app > select Personal Hotspot > toggle Personal Hotspot switch on. You will see the Hotspot Password just below the Hotspot Switch.

Android devices, swipe down from the notification bar > Settings > More > Tethering & portable hotspot > Set up Wi-Fi Hotspot > Create Network (SSID) > Password.

 

Please give this a try and post back for additional support.
