How Do I Hide Sharing My WiFi Connection w/my PC?

[ricoramiro]

I get my phone's Internet via WiFi. Not Mobile data. When I turn on my phone's hotspot, I lose the WiFi connection. It turns off automatically.

How can I make it so that doesn't happen and I can share my WiFi connection with my computer?

Does anyone know the answer to this question?

Thanks for your reply! I want to be able to share my wifi connection on my phone with my pc. I don't have mobile data on this phone only Internet. I get the Internet connection on the phone via wifi, but I can't share it because the wifi disconnects when I turn on the mobile hotspot. :-(

The hotspot uses the wifi radio in the phone to make the hotspot. You cannot have your phone on wifi and use hotspot at the same time. If you want to tether the wifi connection from the phone it would have to be a USB or BT tether.

Thanks Almeuit! I'll try the USB tether.
