(*) How to turn your iPhone into a Wi-Fi Hotspot

 

1.     Open the Settings app in your iPhone, then select Personal Hotspot

2.     Tap on Personal Hotspot, and set Personal Hotspot to On (Tap the slide so it turns green)

3.    If Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth are off, iOS will ask if you want to turn them back on. WeÕd recommend doing so – without them, the hotspot will be limited to USB

4.    Tap ÒWi-Fi PasswordÓ and enter a suitable password (This isnÕt related to your Apple ID or usual Wi-Fi connection)

5.     Now check the name of the hotspot listed under ÒTO CONNECT USING WI-FIÓ

6.    Back to your Mac or Windows laptops, click the Wi-Fi icon in your MacÕs menu bar or Windows Wi-Fi networks and choose the Wi-Fi hotspot

7.     Enter the password from Step 4
