mobile hotspot
Phone-shared wireless connection
A mobile hotspot is a portable device or smartphone feature that shares its cellular data connection with other devices via Wi-Fi.
You can connect laptops, tablets, or other phones to it when no other internet is available: I used my phone as a mobile hotspot during the road trip.
Also called a personal hotspot or portable hotspot.
