# Connect to a phone hotspot

You can connect your Pod to a phone's mobile hotspot, which is handy for car rides and travel.

> **Warning**
>
> Most phones turn off their own Wi-Fi when the hotspot is on. That means you can't use the phone that is sharing its hotspot to set up the Pod. Either use a second device (Option A), or give your hotspot MyWonder's built-in name and password so the Pod connects automatically (Option B).

## Option A: Use a second device

#### Turn on your phone hotspot

Turn on the hotspot on your main phone.

#### Turn on the Pod hotspot

Press and hold the **left button** for **5 seconds**. The LED eyes turn **blue**.

#### Join the Pod from a second device

On a second phone, tablet or laptop (not the phone sharing its hotspot), connect to the Pod's Wi-Fi network, `MYWONDER_<device_id>`.

#### Choose your phone hotspot

1. Open a browser and go to [http://192.168.10.10](http://192.168.10.10).
2. Tap **Scan Networks**.
3. Select your phone's hotspot from the list.
4. Enter the hotspot password and connect.

When the connection succeeds, the Pod blinks **green** and then the LEDs turn **white**. Your Pod is now connected to your phone hotspot.

## Option B: Auto-connect with MyWonder's hotspot name (recommended for travel)

If your phone hotspot uses these details, the Pod connects to it automatically whenever the hotspot is on:

| Setting             | Value      |
| ------------------- | ---------- |
| Network name (SSID) | `mywonder` |
| Password            | `••••••••` |

> **Info**
>
> For your security, the hotspot password isn't shown on this site. [Contact support](/contact-support) to get it.

#### iPhone

#### Set the hotspot password

Open **Settings** > **Personal Hotspot** > **Wi-Fi Password** and set it to the MyWonder hotspot password.

#### Set the hotspot name

Go to **Settings** > **General** > **About** > **Name** and change the name to `mywonder`.

#### Turn it on

Turn on **Allow Others to Join**.

#### Android

Steps may vary slightly depending on your phone model.

#### Open hotspot settings

Open **Settings** > **Network & Internet** (or **Connections**) > **Hotspot & Tethering** > **Wi-Fi Hotspot**.

#### Set name and password

Set **Network name** to `mywonder` and **Password** to the MyWonder hotspot password.

#### Turn it on

Turn the hotspot on.

> **Note**
>
> Changing your iPhone's name also changes how it appears in AirDrop and Bluetooth. You can change it back after your trip.
