If you own both a Chromebook and an Android device, you may want to share Wi-Fi between the two devices to save on data costs and to have an uninterrupted internet connection. Fortunately, this is a straightforward process that can be done in a few simple steps.

Step 1: Turn on Wi-Fi hotspot on your Android device

On your Android device, go to Settings and select Network & internet. Then, select Hotspot & tethering and turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot toggle. You can also set a password if you want to secure your hotspot.

Step 2: Connect your Chromebook to the Wi-Fi hotspot

On your Chromebook, click on the Wi-Fi icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. Then, select the name of your Android device’s Wi-Fi hotspot from the list of available networks. Enter the password if you set one up in Step 1.

Step 3: Enjoy your shared Wi-Fi connection

Once your Chromebook is connected to your Android device’s Wi-Fi hotspot, you can use the internet on your Chromebook as usual. Your Android device will act as a router, providing internet access to your Chromebook.
