   You may have misunderstood what the phone is telling you.  "Wi-Fi   
   connecting" probably means "connect phone to a wireless access point,   
   (probably one in a router)".  What you want is "make phone function as a   
   wireless access point".   
      
   To achieve this normally you would need to enable "hotspot" but the   
   terminology may vary from one phone to another.  So exactly what make   
   and model of phone do you have?   
      
   Once you have enabled the hotspot you should see a new WiFi signal on   
   your computer.  The name of this WiFi signal will be something relating   
   to the make and model of phone.
