Mobile hotspot (tethering)
In Turkish: Mobil erişim noktası (hotspot)
Sharing your phone's mobile data as a Wi-Fi network for your laptop or tablet. A safer option than public Wi-Fi when set up with a strong password.
A hotspot is your own network, so only people with the password can join. Use a long password, not the default one, and switch the hotspot off when you finish so a stranger nearby cannot try to join.
It uses your mobile data allowance, and your operator's terms for sharing data may apply, so check your plan.
What to do
- Set a strong hotspot password, not the default.
- Turn the hotspot off after use.
- Use it instead of public Wi-Fi for banking on a laptop.
