Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Hotspot Connections
Today you can basically go to any location and get online easily. Be it from school, work, airport, or even from a coffee shop, you can be online. Most public locations even let you go access the internet with no cost. Yes, free internet at your fingertips!
But sometimes you connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot and you see that there’s no Internet connection. So why isn’t that hotspot working? And, most importantly, what can you do to access the internet in this situation? Read below to see the easiest way to do this.

Wi-Fi Hotspot Common Issues
The most common problem of a Wi-Fi hotspot is not having any internet connectivity. That means you can get connected to the hotspot, but there are times when it will not let you go online. The hotspot can be offline or your hotspot may be having some internet related problems, or worse, your network might not allow internet access!
Why does that happen? Most commonly it’s network congestion. Due to the high number of connected users, you can have issues with slow browsing, connection dropouts, and intermittent connectivity. This is a normal occurring thing. A network has its own limitation and if there are a lot of users connected to a network then problems can surely occur! Imagine cramming 100 fish in a can of sardines?! Yes, the same concept works in regards to hotspots.
Another common cause of faulty Wi-Fi hotspot connections is the lack of maintenance. The owners of the hotspot might not be tech savvy and not even notice when their hotspot is not working. If it’s a coffee shop or a similar place where you can be in contact with the management, you might ask them to at least restart the router. That alone could fix it.
Public Wi-Fi Hotspot (or Personal Hotspot) Isn’t Working? Here’s How to Fix It
As mentioned above, a simple restart of the router (or the device that runs the hotspot) can fix the problem. And it works in your case as well, at home or with your personal hotspot device. However, sometimes this is not enough. The internet connection might be itself affected, and you can’t fix that on your own.
So, what can you do to get online? One solution would be to use your cellular data. But then you won’t know when Wi-Fi is back so you can connect to the hotspot and save your mobile traffic.
There’s a software app smart enough to let you combine a Wi-Fi hotspot connection and your cellular data. And it knows when a connection is down so shifts traffic to the other connection until working again. Plus – it also encrypts your traffic so you get total online privacy.
