Quick Tips to Remember
Keep your iPhone charged: Using Personal Hotspot can drain the battery faster.
Watch your data usage: Your laptop may use more mobile data than your phone, especially when downloading large files or updating Windows.
Stay within range: Keep your iPhone close to your laptop for a more reliable connection.
Protect your connection: Use a strong Wi-Fi password and share it only with people you trust.
Having connection problems? Check that mobile data is working, Personal Hotspot is enabled, and you have entered the correct password.
If your laptop still cannot connect, try turning Wi-Fi off and on again on your laptop, then reconnect. You can also restart your iPhone and try again.
Enjoy your internet connection!
