In other words, in this way the Internet connection of a device is shared , thus making it available to other devices. The same function can also take the name of Wi-Fi tethering. In order to hotspot with a smartphone or tablet, you must use the data connection , so you cannot share access to the Wi-Fi connection on a PC, however, the discussion changes.
