Oppo How to Set up Wi-Fi Hotspot

With Wi-Fi Tethering, the Oppo smartphone can be set up as a repeater, allowing an existing WLAN connection to be shared with other devices.

All that is required for the setup is a network name and password, but it can also be used with the default values.

Note: If Wi-Fi Tethering is enabled, features such as Oppo Share, Wi-Fi Direct or multiscreen can be used.

If the Oppo smartphone has mobile data, the Internet can be shared with connected devices via a personal WLAN hotspot, with the Oppo device acting as a router to which other devices can connect.

The WLAN hotspot can be activated or deactivated on the Oppo smartphone under the settings for wireless connections.

Note: The WLAN hotspot can also be switched on or off in the Quick Settings.

WLAN hotspots are usually started on the Oppo smartphone with the frequency 2.4GHz, but if the device supports it, the faster frequency (AP band) 5 GHz can also be used.

Starting with ColorOS 7 (Android 10), it is possible on the Oppo smartphone to have the WLAN hotspot automatically deactivated after 10 minutes of inactivity.

The WLAN hotspot uses the mobile data to share the Internet with other devices. If no Internet flat rate is available, it is recommended to activate data restriction. If the defined data limit is reached, the WLAN hotspot will be deactivated.

If the personal hotspot is reactivated after the limit is reached, the data restriction is reset.

By default, up to ten devices can connect to the Oppo Smartphone's WLAN hotspot at the same time, and the maximum number of devices can be adjusted in the settings.

The WLAN hotspot (personal hotspot) is already preconfigured on the Oppo smartphone, but all settings such as name, password, visibility and band can be adjusted on request.
