8.3.2 Software update with mobile hotspot
Performing the software update with the mobile hotspot on your smartphone
represents a fast and easy alternative. This may be necessary, for example, if the WiFi
connection is poor (bike cellar) or no connection to the WiFi network is possible in
general. A software update via a hotspot is also recommended if the WiFi (SSID) name
or password contain too many special characters.
The software update via a hotspot differs compared to those via a WiFi network
in that you set-up the hotspot to use it as a WiFi interface before the software up-
date is launched on your smartphone.
PLEASE NOTE!
Switching on and confi guring the hotspot can vary from device to
device. Before starti ng the soft ware update, familiarise yourself
with the set-up and confi gurati on of the mobile hotspot on your
device. Make sure that Mobile Data is switched on.
As an example the configuration of a hotspot for a device running Android is described
