Vizio TVs provide a lot of very useful features. If you do not happen to have a WiFi router at home or an Ethernet cable support, how would you use the internet on it? That is why this article focuses on how to connect Vizio TV to mobile hotspot with ease.
Mobile hotspots are such a great addition to smartphones. You do not need WiFi routers anymore as long as you have a smartphone and a good network connection. Thus, it becomes essential to explain how to make use of this hotspot feature.
What are the pros of using Mobile Hotspot?
Using a mobile hotspot to connect Vizio Smart TV to the internet has a lot of pros but the most important one being you do not have to get a WiFi connection. This means no more issues when your WiFi network shuts down and so on.
I remember having to call my WiFi provider all the time because of how it would go down in thunderstorms and take days to resume its normal functionality. Thankfully, mobile hotspots were a lifesaver.
You would notice you can use any sort of internet data through your mobile hotspot. Before the latest Android versions, you could only use the internet from your phone, but now you can also use Wi-Fi networks and relay their signal using a hotspot!
This makes it essentially a WiFi repeater, which is again a very helpful thing. Just make sure to keep a watch on the battery. It does not go down too well when using WiFi and hotspot at the same time.
