In samsung a35 when I'm sharing my internet using hotspot the internet speed is very low in connected devices but my mobile have high speed internet connection.

Possible causes of slow hotspot speeds:
* Network congestion: Too many devices, carrier issues.
* Hardware limitations: Wi-Fi chipset, antenna.
* Software issues: Bugs, outdated software.
* Security settings: Strong passwords, Data Saver.
* Distance, obstacles, device compatibility.

Troubleshooting steps:
* Restart devices.
* Update software.
* Optimize hotspot settings: Reduce devices, check password, disable Data Saver.
* Check network settings: Network mode, Wi-Fi Calling.
* Check for network interference: Move away from sources, try a different location.
* Contact your carrier: Check for outages, limits.

If issues persist, contact Samsung support or take your phone to a service center.

Possible Causes
1. *Wi-Fi Hotspot Settings*: The default Wi-Fi hotspot settings on your Samsung A35 might be limiting the speed.
2. *Network Congestion*: High network usage in your area could be slowing down your hotspot speeds.
3. *Device Limitations*: The connected devices might have limitations in terms of Wi-Fi reception or processing power.
4. *Distance and Interference*: Physical distance between devices and interference from other Wi-Fi networks or devices can impact speeds.

Troubleshooting Steps
1. *Check Wi-Fi Hotspot Settings*: Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Hotspot and Tethering > Mobile Hotspot. Ensure that:
1. *Wi-Fi hotspot* is enabled.
2. *AP Band* is set to *5 GHz* (if supported by your device and connected devices).
3. *Channel* is set to *Auto*.
2. *Restart Your Device*: A simple restart can often resolve connectivity issues.
3. *Reduce Distance and Interference*: Move the connected devices closer to your Samsung A35 and try to minimize interference from other devices.
4. *Update Your Device's Software*: Ensure your Samsung A35 is running the latest software version.
5. *Check Connected Devices*: Verify that the connected devices are capable of handling faster speeds and are not limiting the connection.

Additional Steps
1. *Use a Wi-Fi Analyzer App*: Download a Wi-Fi analyzer app to scan for nearby networks and optimize your Wi-Fi channel.
2. *Reset Network Settings*: Go to Settings > General Management > Reset > Reset network settings. This will reset all network settings to their default values.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may want to consider contacting your mobile network operator for further assistance or guidance.

Only the illiterates will suggest the normal useless methods.

Try these meaningful methods :
> Check the current network frequency by dialling *#0011#

> Change the hotspot frequency to 5 GHz instead of 2.4 GHz.
