If a device cannot find or join the hotspot

Check security compatibility

If the hotspot is set to WPA3 and an older client cannot connect, check whether that client supports WPA3. Samsung says a device without WPA3 support may require WPA2 compatibility. Use WPA2 only when needed for that device and when the option is available; do not change security settings without a compatibility reason. [Samsung US troubleshooting]

Check visibility and Wi-Fi band

If the hotspot does not appear in the available Wi-Fi networks, check whether the network is hidden. If your phone offers a band setting, try 2.4 GHz for broader device compatibility; Samsung identifies 5 GHz as the better-performance option in its guidance. Which choices appear depends on the device. [Samsung US troubleshooting] [Samsung US]

Check carrier hotspot support

If Mobile Hotspot is unavailable or tethering fails, your carrier plan may require hotspot or tethering service. Check your account or contact the carrier because eligibility depends on the plan. Mobile Hotspot uses mobile data and battery power. [Samsung Singapore]

Follow the password prompt on your phone

Samsung’s cited instructions do not establish one universal password-length or character rule for every Galaxy. If the phone rejects your entry, use the requirements shown on that screen.
