Computers, notebooks, tablets, smartphones and lately smartwatches require stable Internet connections in order to perform at their true potential. Getting used to daily online activity, you might end up in trouble if you reach a location that isn’t equipped with a Wi-Fi router. Yes, you can use your iPhone’s cellular Internet connection, but what if you need to work using the large screen of your notebook, The trick is to turn your iOS device into an Internet hotspot for your Mac or Windows computer! What is a Hotspot, It’s the source which provides wireless Internet connection to any intelligent device that is equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity hardware. More exactly, it’s the router that has the role to spread out the Internet connection that enters your home. Usually providers bring Internet at your doorstep with the help of cables. The hotspot ensures an wireless bridge between the Internet source and the end user. This way a single connection can be divided and accessed by multiple devices from a specific location. When you’re on the move, or in a remote location chances of finding a hotspot to connect your Mac or Windows computer to become quite slim.
However, you can use your iPhone’s data plan to outsource an Internet connection and complete important tasks that can’t be postponed, until you get back to an area with Wi-Fi routers. Your iOS device can provide online connectivity via three communication channels: Wi-Fi; Bluetooth; USB. Each of them come with advantages and disadvantages, but from our experience the most frequently used method is the Wi-Fi connection. As explained above, users transform their iOS device into a router when there is no other option available to connect their notebooks to an other Internet source. Wi-Fi is the most convenient method, because it doesn’t require anything special. Step 1: Grab your iPhone and check if you have carrier signal. If the answer is positive, proceed and open the Settings app. Tap on Cellular and check if Cellular Data is enabled. Step 2: Return to Settings and browse Personal Hotspot. Toggle the knob to activate the feature. Step 3: Set up a password for the Wi-Fi connection.
