Although it is designed to turn the television in your home into a multimedia center, is it possible to use your Fire TV or Chromechast no wifi away from home. Now that the summer holidays are here, you may miss your device to play your favorite series or movies. With this trick, you can take it with you in your suitcase to enjoy it at the hotel.
To be able to use this device without a WiFi network, you will have to use your mobile data, since it will work with this connection. However, so that you do not have to constantly change the settings, there is a way in which these devices can automatically detect the network of your smartphone.
The first thing you have to do is configure an access point on your mobile to activate connection sharing. To do this, you must go to ‘Networks and Internet’ and inside press the option ‘Internet Sharing’. In this section, you can configure the name and password.
The key comes in this part, since you have to customize the access point and put the same name and password as your home WiFi. Thus, As soon as you turn on your Fire TV or Chromecast outside your home with your smartphone’s hotspot on, it’ll think it’s your home WiFi and automatically connect with the same name and password.
