	A wifi-hotspot, or wireless tethering, is a mode of operation for a cellphone that allows it to act as a modem, using it's cellular data to connect other devices to the internet using Wifi. It can be a handy way to connect a wifi enabled device to the internet temporarily. As this connection uses the data of the hosting device it is important to keep in mind any data limits and overage fees for cellphone data use that you have on your mobile plan. Not all cellphone providers and ~~cellphones~~ will have wifi-hotspot ~~setup enabled~~. Tethering can also be done over USB on some devices if wifi is not an option.
