A hotspot is a physical location where people can access the Internet, typically using Wi-Fi, through a wireless local area network (WLAN) connected to an Internet service provider. It allows users to connect their devices, such as smartphones, laptops, or tablets, to the Internet wirelessly. Hotspots are commonly found in public places like cafés, airports, libraries, and hotels, but they can also be set up in homes or offices. When you connect to a hotspot, your device communicates with the router, which provides access to the Internet. Most hotspots require a password or a login process to ensure security and prevent unauthorized access. Using a hotspot allows you to stay connected and browse the web, check emails, stream videos, or perform any other online activities without using your cellular data.
