You can share your mobile data connection by setting up your Fairphone as a Wi-Fi hotspot.

How to set-up

Via Settings

Go to Settings → Networks & internet → Hotspot & tethering → Wi-Fi Hotspot and then toggle the switch to On.

You might have to set up a Hotspot name and a Hotspot password. If you want to prevent the Wi-Fi Hotspot from turning off automatically, tap on Advanced and disable Turn off hotspot automatically.

There are also additional options you can set up:

• Hotspot name
  Here you can change the hotspot name.
• Security
  Here you can choose your encryption protocol.
• Hotspot password
  Here you can change the hotspot password.
• AP Band
  Here you can select the Wi-Fi band.

Via Shortcut

There is also a faster way to access the Hotspot settings:

1. Swipe down twice from the top of the screen. You will open the pull-down Quick settings menu.
2. Press and hold the Hotspot icon.
   Tip: If you can't find the Hotspot icon, you may need to add it to the Quick settings first.
