Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, in many cases, you can use your cellphone as a hotspot. Most smartphones have a built-in feature that allows you to enable mobile hotspot functionality. By turning on this feature, your phone can act as a mobile hotspot and share its cellular data connection with other devices. You can connect your laptop, tablet, or other devices to your phone's hotspot just like you would connect to any other Wi-Fi network.
The main difference between a dedicated hotspot device and using your phone as a hotspot is the purpose and functionality. A dedicated hotspot device offers specialized features and better performance while using your phone as a hotspot is a convenient option if you only need occasional or temporary Wi-Fi connectivity on other devices.
Yes, you can use a hotspot for gaming or streaming. Streaming video, downloading large files, and other data-intensive tasks can consume more data compared to general web browsing or email usage. It's important to monitor your data usage and check with your mobile carrier or internet service provider for specific details about your plan.
Yes, you can change the password for your hotspot. The process may vary depending on your device and operating system, but generally, you can change the hotspot password by accessing your device's settings or hotspot menu. Look for options related to the hotspot or tethering settings, and you should find an option to change the password.
Most internet devices that exist today have the capacity to connect to a mobile hotspot. These include smartphones, laptops, tablets, E-readers, gaming consoles, portable gaming devices, smart TVs, media streaming devices (i.e., Roku, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire TV Stick), wireless printers, home security cameras, and many other Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
The range of a hotspot can vary depending on several factors, including the device you're using and the environment in which you're using it. Generally, the range of a typical mobile hotspot device is around 30 to 50 feet (9 to 15 meters) indoors. However, it's important to note that walls, obstacles, and interference from other devices can affect the range and signal strength of the hotspot. Staying within a reasonable distance from the hotspot device is recommended to ensure a stable and reliable connection.
Our Q Link Mobile Hotspot costs $0.99 a month for 2 GB of data, or $9.99 a year for the annual one-time payment plan.
The setup process for a hotspot will vary depending on your smartphone's operating system. Typically, most Android and iOS users can set up a hotspot by opening the "Settings" menu on their phone and searching for the word "Hotspot." This option can sometimes be found under the "Tethering & Networks" submenu.
