Samsung Galaxy Tablet

Question

I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tablet and find it to work well as a standalone device but when I connect my laptop/laptops to it everything goes into a crawl and I just can't use it as designed in the Hotspot mode. Anyone have any suggestions? I hate to return it as if I could get it to work better (faster when in Hotspot mode) it would be beneficial but it certainly is not acceptable as is. HELP!!!!

Hi Hdbikerdave,

Adding to what was stated by ﻿﻿dimap, did the information help? Are you still experiencing the slow response when using your hotspot? Please bear in mind that the more devices you have connected to your hotspot and depending on what each laptop is doing at that same time during the access, this can slow the response time down. This is because all the laptops are pulling on the same signal on the tab to share its resources. Perhaps you can try clearing the temporary internet files and cache on your laptops to see if this improves your speed. I would suggest using one laptop at a time checking on the speed and response. Then continue to add one laptop at a time, checking how they response when connected to your hotspot. This could help you in seeing if one of the laptops are contributing to response issue. Here is a link for further reference using your device as a hotspot.
