Let's start with the basic. Typically there can be at least 3 device in the average home which would allow the use of the Internet. One being the gateway or modem as connect to your computer either by lan-line of wireless device. Another could be the computer itself.. Most computers today are equiped with a wireless/wifi card. The last means of connecting could actually be your smart phone and without knowing what model phone you have, it would be unable to determine if your phone is in fact a hot spot or as you've said Huawi router. Which could nothing more than an error in identify the phone/hot spot and merely selected the closet proximity.

That portable device is an access point, AP and provides the functions if a router.

Portable AP's are popular with travellers.
