How to Fix TECNO Hotspot Not Working

When your TECNO hotspot stops working, you lose the ability to share mobile data with other devices. This sharing feature issue can prevent laptops, tablets, and other phones from accessing your internet. Our troubleshooting guide helps restore hotspot functionality and enable device connectivity.

Steps to Fix TECNO Hotspot Problems

Go to Network & Internet or Wireless & Networks, find Mobile Hotspot or Tethering, turn on the hotspot, and set a strong password for security.
Access hotspot settings via the three-dot menu, verify bandwidth is set to 2.4GHz, and check the maximum number of connected devices allowed.
Turn off the hotspot, wait 30 seconds, turn it back on, then have another device try connecting.
On the other device, open WiFi settings, find your TECNO hotspot name (SSID), enter the correct password, and attempt to connect.
Check for system updates in Settings > About Phone > System Updates, install any available, then restart your device.
Go to Settings > System > Reset Options, select Reset WiFi, Mobile & Bluetooth, and confirm with your PIN if required.

💡Pro Tip:

Hotspot functionality depends on your mobile service plan. Verify with your service provider that your plan includes tethering or hotspot capabilities, as some carriers restrict this feature. If you're within your data limit but hotspot won't work, contact your provider to enable the feature on your account.

Quick Tips

Keep the hotspot password strong to prevent unauthorized access to your data
Limit the number of connected devices to improve hotspot speed and reliability
Move your TECNO closer to connecting devices for better signal strength
Disable other unnecessary wireless features like Bluetooth to reduce interference
Monitor data usage when hotspot is active, as tethered connections consume data quickly
