How to turn on Hotspot Mode

Hotspot Mode is a dashboard for your Wi-Fi: see who's connected, share access via QR code, change the password, and grant time access to guests. Here's how to switch it on.

About 3 min to complete
4 steps
Works on Android & iOS
1

Tap "Hotspot mode" on your home screen

From your home screen, find the Hotspot mode row in Quick actions. Tap it.

If you have multiple sites, you'll be asked which one to enable hotspot for. Pick the location.

Why turn this on? If you only use Wi-Fi at home for your own devices, you don't need it. Hotspot Mode is for businesses (cafés, lodges, shops) and homes that share Wi-Fi with guests, contractors, or extended family. It gives you control over who's on the network.

Give it a nickname

The app asks for a nickname for this hotspot. This is just a label so you can tell your sites apart later. Type something short like "Cinema Café", "Office", or "Guest house".

Tap Continue.

What this does: turning on hotspot mode rotates your Wi-Fi password. Your network name (SSID) stays the same. We'll show you the new password on the next screen so you can save it.

Save the new Wi-Fi password

The app shows you a fresh password. Write it down on paper, screenshot it, or tap Copy password to copy it to your clipboard.

This is your last chance to save the password before it's applied. Don't skip this step — you'll need it to reconnect your own devices.

Once you've saved it, tap I've saved it, apply now.

Heads up: when you tap Apply, every device currently on your Wi-Fi (including your phone) will be kicked off and need to reconnect using the new password.

You're in — meet the dashboard

You'll land on the Hotspot dashboard. The top card shows your Wi-Fi network name and the current password — tap the 👁 eye to reveal the password, the copy icon to copy it, or the QR icon to share it as a scannable code.

Below that, you'll see how many devices are connected and how many are paused. Below that, four big buttons:

Connected devices — see every phone, laptop, and TV on your network.
Share Wi-Fi — show a QR code a guest can scan to join.
Password & access — manage the password.
Disable hotspot — turn the dashboard off.

That's it — you're running a managed Wi-Fi network now.
