WiFi hotspot

Internet sharing point

A WiFi hotspot is a location or device that provides wireless internet access.

Public hotspots appear in cafes, airports, and hotels.

A personal hotspot uses a smartphone's cellular connection to create a small WiFi network for other devices: I'll turn on my hotspot so you can connect your laptop.
