Iphone 6 as wifi router

Dear all, I am new to this community and not that much versed into IT. I am going in a place where there is no landline telephone, and no wifi. Is there a possibility to use my Iphone as a router to connect other devices, such as my old Ipad, which is not upgraded but still able to be connected to a wifi source? Thank you in advance for your kind support. Iotti. Italy.

Hello,


I think I can help you with this. It is possible to set up your iPhone as a hotspot. You can then use other devices to connect to your iPhone.


Set up Personal Hotspot

  1. Go to Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Personal Hotspot.
  2. Tap the slider next to Allow Others to Join.


If you don't see the option for Personal Hotspot, contact your carrier to make sure that you can use Personal Hotspot with your plan.
