So lovelyLovely internet goes down at the house - I know I can use my hotspot right?

  1. Wifi on phone is dead because cable/internet is dead
  2. Turn off wifi and browse using mobile data - YEA!!!
  3. Lets try the hotspot feature!
  4. Turn on hotspot, oh shit it requires wifi - so turn on wifi
  5. I can connect my laptop right? YES! Connected!
  6. But phone has gone back to State 1

Is there a simple way around this? Simple defined:

  • Without deleting wifi connections (having to recreate them later)
  • Without going around powering off all of my routers and access points (these are in rather inaccessible places)
