Setting mobile hotspot


You can access its configuration in WIN 10 under settings -> Network & Internet -> Mobile hotspot. It can be set up either on the second computer or SBOX and connect the other device to it. 


Note: The device you set the mobile hotspot on, has to have a second network connection to it, so you can share it over the hotspot.


In the drop-down menu, you have to choose a primary network connection connected to the device, select Wi-Fi as share protocol, and define share network parameters. When turning the hotspot on, the new Wi-Fi will appear. With the second device, you need to connect to it with a set password.
