Trivial: connect to the hotspot by WiFi. Any computer nearby can do the
same simultaneously, up to a limit. In my case, six machines. Enough for
my laptop and tablet.

Else:  Connect a wifi router to that wifi hot spot. The router has
ethernet out cables.

Other: get an extra SIM card, put it on a router that can do the
connection instead of the computer and sets up a proper wifi hotspot +
ethernet. There are some ISPs here that give you both sim and router
with the contract.
