Tethering

Why can I not share my data connection thru Bluetooth and hotspot. It seems like 1 device is only allowed to use internet. Even if the other devices are connected once I start using data the other devices gets disconnected automatically.

Hi @Keeeeeeeeeee, let me see if I can help out here.

If you want to share your internet connection from your phone to multiple devices at the same time, I would suggest that you use WiFi-tethering instead of Bluetooth tethering. While using WiFi-tethering ou can share your device's data connection with up to ten other devices at once. To use your device as a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, follow the steps below.

Find and tap Settings > Network & Internet > Hotspot & tethering.
If not already configured, tap Portable hotspot settings > Configure hotspot.
Enter the Network SSID for the network. Tap the Security field to select a security type. If required, enter a password.
Tap Save, then press the Back key.
Drag the slider beside Portable hotspot to the right. When activated, the tethering or hotspot active icon is visible in the status bar. Up to ten computers or other devices can now connect to this network.
Drag the slider beside Portable hotspot to the left when you want to stop sharing your data connection via Wi-Fi.

Let me know if that helped!
