HI People

Im trying to tether my phone to my laptop so I can use internet. I have a Galaxy J6 and a Lenovo Thinkpad. On my phone I've switched on 'mobile hotspot'. When I look at available networks on laptop my phone appears as AndroidAPxxxx. When I try and connect it asks for a Network Security Key. Does anyone know where I look for this? Is this from ID?

Many thanks

Simon

It will first appear on your mobile. Same code you need to enter on laptop. No code provide by iD mobile. It create on your mobile.

Do one thing forgot all paired device. Turn off hotspot. And again start hotspot.

Better to reset network settings. And restart mobile. Again try hotspot.
