Portable WIFI Hotspot disables WIFI

TonyBro — Mon, 31 Aug 2015 07:52:05 GMT

Recently when I try to enable the portable WIFI Hotspot by turning WIFI on (icon turns blue on off changes to on), going to More/Tethering and portable hotspot, clicking Portable Wi-Fi hotspot (check mark turns blue).

However when I go back to Settings Wi-Fi it has been turned off.

the hotspot cannot be detected.

Hi,

When you enable your phone as a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, it will disable any ongoing Wi-Fi operations including the Wi-Fi itself. When you use the phone as a hotspot, the network that will be shared is the mobile network via your network provider.

That's normal, your phone can only receive or send Wi-Fi one thing at the time.
