Principle of Wireless Hotspot tethering


A wireless hotspot, also known as a Wi-Fi hotspot or mobile hotspot, is a wireless access point that provides internet access to wireless devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other devices that support Wi-Fi connectivity.

A wireless hotspot can be created by using a device that has a cellular data connection, such as a smartphone or a portable wireless router. The device then creates a wireless network that can be accessed by other Wi-Fi enabled devices within its range.


Wireless hotspots are commonly used in public places such as airports, coffee shops, and hotels, as well as in homes and offices as a convenient way to provide internet access to multiple devices without the need for wired connections. However, it is important to ensure that the wireless hotspot is secure and that users are protected from potential security risks such as hacking and identity theft.


1. Principle of Hotspot tethering

The principle of hotspot tethering is to allow a device with a cellular data connection, such as a smartphone or a portable wireless router, to share its internet connection with other devices via Wi-Fi.

When a device is set up as a hotspot, it creates a Wi-Fi network that other devices can connect to. The hotspot device then uses its cellular data connection to provide internet access to those connected devices.


The hotspot device acts as a router and assigns IP addresses to the connected devices. It also sets up a secure wireless network with encryption to protect the data being transmitted between devices.


The hotspot device manages the traffic between the connected devices and the internet, ensuring that data packets are routed to the correct destination. It also keeps track of the data usage for each connected device, allowing the user to monitor their data usage and avoid unexpected charges.


2. How to use the hotspot Internet

To use a wireless hotspot for internet access, follow these steps:


①Turn on the Wi-Fi on the device you want to connect to the hotspot. This could be a smartphone, laptop, tablet or any other Wi-Fi-enabled device.


②Find the wireless network name (SSID) of the hotspot device. This can usually be found in the settings of the device that is broadcasting the hotspot.

③Connect to the hotspot network by selecting it from the list of available networks and entering the password if required.


④Once connected, the device should be able to access the internet through the hotspot's cellular data connection.


⑤If you are using a smartphone to create the hotspot, you may need to turn on the "mobile hotspot" or "personal hotspot" feature in the phone's settings.


⑥It is important to note that using a wireless hotspot can consume a significant amount of data from your cellular plan. Be sure to monitor your data usage to avoid unexpected charges on your bill.
