Rename or secure your portable hotspot

You can change the name of your phone's Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and secure its Wi-Fi network
when it's acting as a portable hotspot.

1

Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Tethering & portable hotspot.

2

Make sure Portable Wi-Fi hotspot is checked.

3

Touch Configure Wi-Fi hotspot.

The Configure Wi-Fi hotspot dialog opens.

4

Set your name and security options as follows:

Change the Network SSID (name) that other computers see when scanning for Wi-Fi networks.

Choose a security option. Choosing WPA2 PSK adds a password field to the Configure Wi-Fi
hotspot dialog. If you enter a password, you will need to re-enter that password when you connect to
the hotspot with a computer or other device. To remove security from your Wi-Fi network, choose
Open.
