Distributing the Internet from a Xiaomi smartphone through a Beeline hotspot is a convenient way to provide access to the network to other devices when there is no Wi-Fi at hand. However, many users face problems: the point does not turn on, the devices do not connect or the speed leaves much to be desired. In this article, we will discuss the step-by-step settings taking into account the features of the MIUI firmware and the Beeline operator, and also consider typical errors and their solutions.
