wifi hotspot is your personal wifi connection, just like campgound or coffee shop wifi
it IS NOT tethering
to Tether is to use a USB cable and the phone becomes a MODEM
not a wifi hotspot
most apps, both OEM and after market add on from the google store
do both aka either / or
but they are two different things
when you go to the coffee shop, you don't tether with a cable
when you use the CG wifi there is NO usb cable
tethering is very similar to cable modem setup hardwired to your home desk top PC with the Ethernet LAN cable
wifi hotspot on the phone turns the phone into a wifi access point,,No cable aka No Tether
