You cannot directly tether Wi-Fi using Bluetooth. Bluetooth is primarily designed for short-range data transfer between devices, while Wi-Fi is used for wireless internet connectivity.
Here's why you can't directly tether Wi-Fi using Bluetooth:
- Different Protocols: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi use different communication protocols. Bluetooth operates on a lower frequency and has a shorter range than Wi-Fi.
- Internet Access: Wi-Fi provides internet access by connecting to a router or access point. Bluetooth doesn't inherently provide internet access.
However, you can use a mobile hotspot to share your internet connection with other devices via Bluetooth. Here's how:
- Enable Mobile Hotspot: On your smartphone or tablet, turn on the mobile hotspot feature. This will create a Wi-Fi network using your device's cellular data connection.
- Connect via Bluetooth: Pair your Bluetooth-enabled device (like a laptop or speaker) with your smartphone or tablet.
- Access Internet: Once connected, you can access the internet on your Bluetooth-enabled device using the mobile hotspot.
Remember, using a mobile hotspot will consume your cellular data. Make sure you have a data plan that allows for tethering or hotspot usage.
