How to test your wobie box using a phone hotspot
If your wobie box can't connect to home Wi-Fi, a phone hotspot can help you check whether network settings are the cause. Use a hotspot only for a short test, as Spotify streaming can use a lot of mobile data.
Here's how:
Phone 1 🛜 (hotspot):
- Turn on mobile data.
- Enable the hotspot in iOS or Android settings and choose WPA2 security. ⚠️ Some iOS devices may use WPA2/WPA3 by default; switch to WPA2.
Phone 2 📱 (wobie fav):
- Connect phone 2 to phone 1's hotspot over Wi-Fi.
- Open wobie fav on phone 2 and start setup.
- Choose phone 1's hotspot when asked to select Wi-Fi.
- Enter its password, found in phone 1's hotspot settings.
After the test, reconnect the wobie box to home Wi-Fi to avoid using mobile data.
