wifi hot spot problems, chicken and egg issue

So lovely internet goes down at the house - I know I can use my hot spot 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 hot spot feature!
  4. Turn on hot spot, 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)
