(Can I Convert Cellular Data to Wi-Fi?)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Wi-Fi networks<\/span><\/a> are one of the most reliable ways to get connected to the internet. <\/span>Wi-Fi<\/span><\/a> is <\/span>available in many businesses<\/span><\/a> and homes to ensure we stay connected. Internet access is vital in people’s daily lives as most services and businesses can now be conducted online. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, despite the widespread internet use, not all places have Wi-Fi connectivity or reliable internet access. In other circumstances, a Wi-Fi network could be available but inaccessible because you do not know the password. Sometimes the <\/span>available networks<\/span><\/a> could be <\/span>public networks that are barely secure and will expose you to risks<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The workaround for such scenarios is <\/span>using your phone’s cellular data<\/span><\/a> since cell service availability is more widespread than Wi-Fi. <\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, this article provides solutions for converting your cellular data<\/a> into Wi-Fi to ensure you <\/span>stay connected<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Can I Convert Cellular Data into Wi-Fi?<\/h2>\n

Yes, you can convert the cellular data on your <\/span>SIM card<\/span><\/a> to Wi-Fi, and there is more than one way to do it. Mobile phone manufacturers equip their phones with the <\/span>Hotspot feature<\/span><\/a> that allows you to <\/span>broadcast your phone’s internet connection as Wi-Fi<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you enable the setting, you can connect up to ten devices and access the internet as long as you have an active data package. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can also <\/span>purchase a Hotspot device<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>MiFi routers<\/span><\/a>) and insert your SIM card to broadcast <\/span>cellular data<\/span><\/a> as a Wi-Fi network. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some <\/span>routers<\/span><\/a> also have sim card slots where you can insert the sim card and activate Hotspot functionality on the router. <\/span><\/p>\n

To summarize, you can use any device with a sim card slot and the hotspot feature to turn data into Wi-Fi. <\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Hotspot?<\/h2>\n

To understand what a hotspot is, we must know what tethering is regarding internet connectivity. <\/span>Tethering<\/span><\/a> is sharing a phone\u2019s internet access with another device, e.g., another phone, computer, or Playstation. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can share your phone\u2019s internet connection using a USB cable or Bluetooth or make your phone work as an access point that broadcasts Wi-Fi.<\/span><\/p>\n
