# Using Your Phone as a Hotspot for a Tablet or Computer

## If the restaurant or location's WiFi isn't working, here's an option if you have a good data signal on your phone.

All phones are different so the instructions attached may or may not match your phone but the process is mostly simple:

1. **Set up a Hotspot on your smartphone** - this will allow other WiFi enabled devices to use the data connection on your smartphone to access the Internet (and OwlOps).
2. **Connect your device (tablet/laptop) to your smartphone's hotspot** - this allows your tablet/laptop to use the Internet connection from your smartphone's data plan.
