In the Android world, the term "Mobile Hotspot" is typically used - and on some other Android devices, it's generically referred to as a "Wi-Fi Hotspot" or simply "tethering". For example, on iPhones and iPads, Apple uses the term "Personal Hotspot". The manufacturers of smartphones and tablets use a variety of terms for the WiFi hotspot provided by a device's cellular-data connection. If it currently says it's off and you wish to turn it on, simply double-click it and BOOM - your Raspberry will automatically reboot and instantly become a WiFi-to-WiFi router! If you wish to turn the router off and bring your Raspberry back to its completely normal WiFi state, same thing - just flip the toggle switch! It does this by taking an existing WiFi hotspot from a mobile or non-mobile device that already has an internet connection and makes it available from a brand-new WiFi Access Point on your Raspberry!īy "toggle switch", I'm referring to a simple icon on your desktop that always reveals the on/off status of the WiFi-to-WiFi router.

In other words, a so-called wireless router is only half wireless! What it really does is take a wired Ethernet connection to the internet and "converts" it into a WiFi hotspot. The typical "wireless router" is really a wired-to-wireless router. That's a lot of terms, so let me explain each one: WiFi-to-WiFi_Router_Topology_RPi_Mike.jpg (244.33 KiB) Viewed 20572 times
