A hotspot is a place where you can get access to the internet. It is like an invisible magical bubble that is created by a special device called a router. The router takes the internet signal and spreads it to the area around it so that people with special receivers called Wi-Fi devices can get access to the internet. Your smartphone, tablet, laptop, and other devices all have Wi-Fi receivers that can pick up the signal, so that you can use your device to connect to the internet. All you have to do is make sure your Wi-Fi receiver is turned on and look for a hotspot in your area.
