On the device that you want to connect, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and look for your iPhone or iPad in the list. Then tap the Wi-Fi network to join. If asked, enter the password for your Personal Hotspot.
Bluetooth
To make sure that your iPhone or iPad is discoverable, go to Settings > Bluetooth and stay on that screen. Then on your Mac or PC, follow the manufacturer's directions to set up a Bluetooth network connection. Learn more about using Personal Hotspot with Bluetooth.
Personal Hotspot supports Bluetooth connections with Mac, PC, and other third-party devices. To connect to another iOS device, use Wi-Fi.
USB
Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes on your Mac or PC. Then connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer with the USB cable that came with your device. If you see an alert that says tap "Trust This Computer?" tap Trust.
