Huawei How to Set up Wi-Fi Hotspot

You can use your Huawei device as a hotspot, so other devices can have an internet connection over your device. There are more settings available, like giving your hotspot a name and create an own password.

You can customize your personal hotspot by giving the hotspot a new name and password. This means also more security and will deny access of strangers. If someone wants to connect to your hotspot, they will have to ask you for your password first. You can also set up a maximum of connections and a shutdown timer for inactive connections.

We can activate a shutdown timer for the mobile hotspot on the Huawei smartphone to automatically disable the feature after a specified period of inactivity. We have the following options to set up:

• After 5 minutes of inactivity
• After 10 minutes of inactivity
• Never

By default, the Huawei smartphone selects 2.4 GHz as its hotspot frequency band, which is also supported by all WLAN devices, but to provide faster data
transfer, the 5.0 GHz band can be activated, which is supported by most newer devices.

If we activate a mobile hotspot on the Huawei smartphone, we can set a data limit to keep an overview of our own data volume. Once the set data volume is reached, the device automatically turns off the mobile hotspot. If it is enabled again afterwards, the consumption is automatically reset to start counting again.

The mobile hotspot on the Huawei-smartphone allows bin to eight connections, but a maximum limit can also be set to keep a better eye on the connected devices and data consumption.
