Under "Network & Internet", one option is "Hotspot & Tethering", I am 
offered

1. 'Wi-Fi hotspot' which says "Not sharing internet or content with 
other devices"

2. (Greyed out) 'USB Tethering' "Share phone's internet connection via 
USB" and the associated slide switch is also Greyed Out.

3. 'Bluetooth tethering' Share phone's Internet connection via Bluetooth 
.. and that slide switch is turned off but can be turned on.

And the note at the bottom of that screen states "Use hotspot or 
tethering to  provide internet to other devices through your mobile data 
connection. Apps can also create a hotspot to share content with nearby 
devices."

So to this under-educated User this seems to be where I want to be ..... 
except I can't turn the Wi-Fi hotspot capability ON!! ;-(

O.K., just as I was leaving that screen, I clicked on option 1, above, 
which brought up another screen where I could turn the Wi-Fi hotspot 
*ON* with the name "Aspera Jazz 2", Security WPA2 PSK, about a dozen 
dots under the "Hotspot Password" heading (Did I set that password some 
time ago?? No problem, tapping on that setting shows the Hotspot 
Password. YEAH!!) .... then under the "Advanced settings" ...

1. Turn off Hotspot automatically if no devices connected.

2. AP band 2.4GHz

3. Reset 00B

4. Max connections 6 users

5. Connected Users Zero (Greyed out)

6. Blocked users Zero (Greyed out)

Only been to Macca's three times (count them ... three time) and all I 
learnt was that the Thick-Shakes are good!!
