How to start a hotspot automatically on device boot I have an Andriod based TV box connected to the internet via ethernet. I have enabled a portable wifi hotspot (so basically it acts as a wifi router). But every time there is a power cut to this device I have to re-enable the hotspot. 

Basically want to save the tethering configuration so that on a reboot the device boots in tethering mode, i.e., the last configured state.
Use MacroDroid instead of Tasker, as it is more user friendly and the  UI is good.

Here are the steps:-


Open MacroDroid, click on the button "Add Macro", then select the trigger "Boot completed". 
In the next screen, select the action "Turn hotspot on", then save the macro.
Reboot your phone.


You will see hotspot will be activated automatically after a reboot.

I used this method for an old 3g phone to create my own WiFi hotspot.
