Have an Internet connection It has practically become a vital necessity, especially when traveling. The use of a laptop to work, watch multimedia content or post on social networks, are already daily activities even when we are on vacation and strictly depend on having good connectivity.
Share internet connection between different devices
When we are away without the data plan of our telephone operator, we can use different options to connect to the Internet for free. On the one hand, we can contract an international eSIM, and we can also use our mobile phone as a router or Hotspot.
In other words, it is about turning the mobile phone into a repeater of the Internet signal. By activating this function, we will be able to connect other devices to the network created by the mobile device, and consume the data or perhaps extend the Internet signal as a WiFi repeater.
There are telephone providers that include a special data service, with greater capacity, so that you can use your mobile as a hotspot. Otherwise, the normal data of the plan that we pay monthly is used. If we do not want to spend them, we have several options:
-Search Public Hotspots
To avoid consuming our data plan, we can use public hotspots, they are usually originated by some business or institution and allow visitors to use the Internet and surf the web. But you have to differentiate the possibilities of a hotspot and a traditional WiFi connection.
Normally, in shopping centers or busy avenues, it is common to find a wide variety of public WiFi networks or hotspot points. To connect, simply select the WiFi connection interface and select the name of the network or hotspot.
If you use hotspot connection or public Wi-Fi, you may open a web page asking you to confirm the hotspot usage policies. This is due to the fact that companies seek to dissociate themselves and ensure responsible and conscious use of their connectivity to all those users who join. There are mobile applications that allow you to find free WiFi all over the world.
-Use a network locator app
There are applications that extend the ability to search for WiFi networks. For example, Avast Wi-Fi Finder. It works as an extensive database that incorporates WiFi networks and their passwords, and you can also use it offline. WiFiMapper and Wiman work in a similar way. They include extensive databases with built-in networks and passwords, to provide WiFi connection anywhere.
-Find hidden WiFI networks
On some occasions, we can detect WiFi networks with their hidden SSID. For this, there are WiFi network analysis apps such as NetSpot. With a button, the app scans the surroundings for hidden networks. Just download the app and activate the discovery mode. The automatic analysis will show a complete list of available WiFi networks, even if they are configured to hide their SSID.
