If you've encountered a phone that can't see the network being distributed or that it quickly discharges when operating in modem modem, here you'll find proven ways to fix these problems.

Method 1: Distribution of the Internet via Wi-Fi (Access Point Mode)

The most popular and versatile method is to create a Wi-Fi network directly from your Poco X3 Pro. This method is suitable for connecting any device: other smartphones, laptops, tablets and even smart TVs. The main advantages are high data transfer speeds (up to 150 Mbit / s at a frequency of 5 GHz) and the ability to connect up to 10 devices at a time.

To activate the access point:

1. Open Settings and go to Network and Internet → Access Point and modem.

Method 2: Bluetooth Internet distribution (charge savings but less speed)

If you only need to connect one device to the Internet (like another phone or tablet) and save battery power, a Bluetooth modem is the best solution, which consumes significantly less power than Wi-Fi, but data transfer speeds are limited to 3-5 Mbps (depending on the Bluetooth version on both devices).

Instructions for setting:

1. Activate Bluetooth on both devices (Poco X3 Pro and receiver phone).
2. On Poco X3 Pro, go to Settings → Network & Internet → Access Point and modem.
3. Select a Bluetooth modem and turn on the slider.
4. On your receiver phone in Bluetooth settings, find your Poco X3 Pro and connect to it. In some cases, you will need to confirm the pairing with the code.
