I\u2019ll walk you through setting up the hotspot on your phone, and then connecting your PC to it.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Turn on the hotspot on your phone\n\nThis depends on whether you\u2019re using an Android phone or an iPhone:\n\n**On Android:**\n- Open **Settings > Network & Internet > Hotspot & tethering** (exact path might vary by device). ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/android/answer/9059108?hl=en&utm_source=openai))  \n- Tap **Wi-Fi hotspot** or **Portable Hotspot** to turn it on. You may also want to set or view the **hotspot name (SSID)** and **password** so you know how to connect. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/android/answer/9059108?hl=en&utm_source=openai))\n\n**On iPhone:**\n- Open **Settings > Personal Hotspot**\n- Toggle **Allow Others to Join** (or similar setting) ON\n- Note the **Wi-Fi Password** displayed here. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/android/answer/9059108?hl=en&utm_source=openai))\n\nMake sure your mobile data is turned on and that your carrier allows tethering/using a hotspot (some extra charges or restrictions may apply). ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/android/answer/9059108?hl=en&utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 2. Connect your Windows 11 PC to the phone\u2019s hotspot\n\nOnce the hotspot is active on your phone:\n\n1. On your PC, click the **Wi-Fi icon** in the taskbar (bottom right).  \n2. You\u2019ll see a list of available Wi-Fi networks \u2014 find your phone\u2019s hotspot name (SSID).  \n3. Click **Connect**, then enter the hotspot **password** (from your phone).  \n4. Wait for it to connect; once done, your PC should be using your phone\u2019s mobile data.  \n\n---\n\n## 3. Other connection methods (if Wi-Fi is unavailable)\n\nIf for some reason Wi-Fi tethering isn't working or you prefer another method:\n\n- **USB tethering**: Connect your phone to the PC via USB. Then in your phone\u2019s hotspot/tethering settings, enable USB tethering. Your PC should show a new network connection using your phone\u2019s data. ([en-us.support.motorola.com](https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/154264/p/10805?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Bluetooth tethering**: Pair your phone and PC via Bluetooth. Then enable Bluetooth tethering on your phone, and on the PC, connect using the Bluetooth network connection. This tends to be slower than Wi-Fi. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/android/answer/9059108?hl=en&utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 4. Tips to make it smoother\n\n- Ensure both devices have sufficient battery (hotspot drains the phone significantly).\n- If using Wi-Fi tethering, stay fairly close to the phone for stronger signal.\n- Check if your phone allows choosing the hotspot band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz). 2.4 GHz has longer range; 5 GHz is usually faster. ([guidingtech.com](https://www.guidingtech.com/how-to-use-windows-11-pc-as-a-mobile-hotspot/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Confirm your data plan allows hotspot usage and that you\u2019re not nearing your data cap.  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me what kind of phone you have (Android / iPhone / model), I can give you exact steps for your device. Want those?"
