# Set Up a Wi-Fi Hotspot

You can set up your Fire phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot and connect your computer and other Wi-Fi-capable devices to the Internet.

To set up your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot, turn on your mobile network and ensure that you have an active mobile data connection (for example, a 4G LTE icon with signal bars).

Note: This feature is only available if it is part of your mobile service plan.

To turn your device into a Wi-Fi hotspot:

1. From Settings, tap Wi-Fi & Networks, and then tap Set up a Wi-Fi hotspot.
2. Next to Wi-Fi Hotspot, tap On. The Wi-Fi Hotspot icon will appear in the status bar.

To set up a secure hotspot and enable password protection, tap Configure Hotspot. From here, you can change name of your hotspot and how it will appear to others.

Note: You may connect up to five Wi-Fi-capable devices to the Wi-Fi hotspot.

To connect a device to your hotspot:

1. Turn on Wi-Fi on the device that you want to connect to your hotspot.
2. Your Fire phone (or the hotspot name if you have set one up) should show up as an available Wi-Fi network, to which you can connect your device.
3. If you set up a password, you will be prompted to enter the password to connect to your hotspot.
