How to distribute the Internet from a Xiaomi Redmi 8 Pro smartphone

Modem mode on a Xiaomi smartphone

- go to the Settings - find the line Wi-Fi access point and click on it

On the new page, click “Wi-Fi Access Point Settings” and enter the network name (if required).

Important! In the “Protection” line, the “No protection” option is selected by default. If you do not want third-party users to be able to connect to your smartphone, then change the line status to “WPA2 PSK”, enter a strong password and click “OK”.

Go back and move the slider in the “Wi-Fi access point” line to the desired position to turn it on.

Now the user of another gadget must search for Wi-Fi networks on his device, select your smartphone by name and connect to it using a password.

Possible problems

In theory, three problems are possible (personally, I have not encountered this in recent years, but if you are one of those lucky ones, welcome to the comments):

1. Doesn't see the access point. There are few options here - first of all, we check that the point really has the “Active” status. The second possible reason is that you are distributing a point at a frequency of 5 GHz, but the client sees only 2.4 GHz networks, change it in the settings and be happy.
2. Does not connect to the access point. Usually the password is entered incorrectly. The second reason is that the phone has memorized the network settings with the old password somewhere deep down, and does not want to connect again using the new data. All phones are different, it may take another article like this to describe how to find this problem, so I propose a simple solution - we distribute a network with a NEW network name AND password. Usually everything is treated immediately.
3. No Internet. Those. The connection is successful, but we are not receiving internet. There are two possible reasons: either something with the network settings (IP, gateway, DNS) or the provider is limiting the distribution. Solutions: an article on correcting network settings, articles on bypassing operator restrictions (Beeline, MTS, Yota, Megafon does not indulge in such things).

Usually that's all. There are, of course, strange problems from something hardware or broken firmware to malware in the system, but this all happens much less often. If all else fails, do a factory reset with a complete system cleanup on the problematic device (don’t forget to back up your data first). All! Hereby I finish this instruction. Questions, suggestions, additions can be safely written below.
