A:Answer No, you can not. I "broke the internet" one morning...Had a lot of devices running, just so happened my Internet Provider was working on the lines...lol... I desperately tried to set up my new ChromeCast using a mobile hotspot that I created with my Samsung Galaxy S5 from C-Spire to no avail. I even tried using an xFinity hotspot after I logged into my Comcast account and installed the WiFi hospot apps on both my phone and my laptop, and it wouldn't allow me to connect my ChromeCast either. In both cases, my phone/laptop kept "switching networks" from the hotspot I was trying to use to "ChromeCast#### WiFi Network"---and then the ChromeCast would be connected to the hotspot for a minute, so it was a total tease because whenever I finally got the ChromeCast connected to the hotspot, my device wouldn't be connected to the same WiFi---or even a real WiFi at that... SO WEIRD!! And it was a total tease, so I kept trying, and I reset and unplugged my ChromeCast, and turned off my TV and devices and reset them, I even installed and uninstalled the ChromeCast apps on both my phone and my laptop. Wasted WAY too much time trying to figure out what the heck was going on. BOTTOM LINE: Don't waste your valuable time trying to use any type of Hotspot to connect to your ChromeCast. Ask a friend/neighbor for their WiFi password if you're in a pinch... Hope this long response helped you out; please let me know if you ended up being able to use a Hotspot of any sort somehow because I would love to know what the trick is in case I need it in the future. Thanks so much! Good luck!
