Detailed explanation-1: -Tethering is the practice of using a mobile device (such as a smartphone) as a modem to connect another device, such as a laptop or another mobile phone to the Internet. To do so, the phone must have mobile data enabled. Tethering is one method of creating a mobile hotspot (an ad hoc wireless access point).
