The Portable Wi-Fi hotspot screen appears. 2. Touch Configure to access the following options: • Network SSID: View and change the name of your Mobile Hotspot. • Hide my device: When enabled, your Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot is not visible to other Wi-Fi devices during a scan. Other devices can still connect to your Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot, but will have to set up the connection manually with your Network SSID and Password. • Security: Choose the security level for your Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot. • Password: If you choose a security level that uses a password, enter the password. By default, the password is your mobile telephone number. • Show password: Enable to make the Password field visible. • Show advanced options: Enable to access advanced options, including Broadcast channel, to specify the channel your device uses for Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot.

After you add devices to the list, they can scan for your device and connect using your device's Wi-Fi hotspot name (SSID) and password.
