Chromecast is the streaming device made by Google for watching content from mobile devices on your TV. Here is how to set it up without Wi-Fi.

  1. Set-Up Chromecast without Wi-Fi or Hotspot

Here is a thread from Google support where people are talking on this issue. True to many community hacks, it is straightforward to set-up a Chromecast without Wi-Fi hotspot in your home.

  • Google now allows you to stream local content directly from your smartphone that is present in your device and also when using the mobile data pack.
  • This is possible with the help of mirroring your device without Wi-Fi, which is also known as tethering using wireless connection set up by the smartphone itself.

  1. Set-Up Chromecast without Wi-Fi Network

The only way to set up mirroring on your device or set up a tethering is by using device-specific settings. These are available on iOS as well as Android smartphones and tablets. For laptops, you might have to use additional software to create a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.

  • On an Android device, you can go to ‘Settings’> ‘Wireless and Networks’ and then try to find something with the word ‘Tethering’ or ‘Mobile Hotspot’ or ‘Portable Hotspot’.
  • If you are using an iPhone, the same can be found inside ‘Settings’ as well, that we will detail below.
  • So, you do not need to have a Wi-Fi connection at home in order to start streaming content from your smartphone or tablet to your TV.

Now, for an iPhone or iPad, the steps are also very similar. You need to create a portable hotspot to connect to the Chromecast. There are several options under ‘Tethering and Portable Hotspot’ including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi hotspot.

  • You need to turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot (iPhone or Android), and as soon as it happens, the TV shall try to connect to this Wi-Fi.
  • You need to go to ‘Settings>Cellular>Personal Hotspot’> on an iPhone to create the portable hotspot.
  • On your iPhone, you need to have the Google Home app to connect to your Chromecast so that it can also connect to your portable hotspot you just made.
  • Once, these devices are on the portable hotspot created by your mobile device, you can start streaming media via this wireless connection.
