Yeah, I think you're right. Hotspot only works if the PC doing the hotspotting has an active internet connection.This would work at home except the hotspotting computer would make sense to be the one in the house, and it would have to be always on in order to maintain the connection. It doesn't auto reconnect even with 'connect automatically' selected.



Back to the drawing board. I guess I'll have to investigate turning my RPi into a router. I have an old GBit router, but it's big with 3 antennas and probably overkill.
