connecting mobile hotspot to laptop

[jude58]

I can connect laptop to hotspot using my phone ok. Now I need to use another device, a tablet or different phone sometimes and when I try this it does not work. I have been told that I need to change a setting on my computer. Does this sound right?
Hope you can help. Judy.

it sounds like you are using your phone as the hotspot and then connecting your laptop to it wirelessly.
So if this is right we need to know which phone you have to know how many concurrent connections it supports. I suspect its just one which means you have to disconnect your laptop to be able to connect your tablet or other phone.
