It is very easy to get the internet connection from this device to be used in the other phones or for the laptop. It will work well as long as you know the system in this thing.
You can do this wirelessly (hotspot) or through the USB tethering. There is no difference between them both for the internet connection. The difference only in the setting method.
To begin the hotspot or tethering, you can start from the Settings menu. After that, tap the Connections menu. And you will see the Mobile Hotspot and tethering menu in the middle of the screen. Tap it, and you can manage them both.
How to Setup Hotspot on Samsung Galaxy Note 8
If you wish to do them both, you can read carefully more explanation about them below. But please note that you can only activate either. Activating two of them will cause some trouble.
- Hotspot
Hotspot is like Wi-Fi. If you want to use hotspot from your Galaxy Note 8, turn it on by switching the toggle. Usually, you will be asked to read the detail of the hotspot that you will use, including the password. Set the password and save it.
To check it, use your other devices and try to activate the Wifi. If your Note 8 connections are available and can connect by entering the right password, you can directly check it through browsing. If it’s successful, then you are connected to the internet.
- USB tethering
To activate this feature, you will need to connect the two devices using USB, probably your phone with the laptop. Make sure that the USB is only connected to the computer or laptop that should work well with you.
Usually, your Galaxy Note 8 will show you a question about the connections of the main device. The question is only about the connections too so just understand more and relax about the internet connection.
Once you turn it on and the USB-ed laptop connected to you, you will be able to connect to the internet. Make sure that you try it from your laptop. If you had successfully browsing and checked the quota, it means that the tethering works well.
After you know how to connect your Galaxy Note 8 with others, now it is time for you to understand how to use it wisely.
