     You seem to be confused as to how this works.   
      
     You can have *either* have your phone connect to the Wi-Fi access   
   point of your Telco's modem *or* have your computer connect to the Wi-Fi   
   hotspot in your phone.   
      
     So when your phone is Wi-Fi connected to your Telco's modem, you   
   cannot connect your computer to the Wi-Fi hotspot in the phone. And   
   vice versa.   
      
     When you turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot in your phone, i.e. not just   
   *configure* it, but (also) *turn it on*, your phone will say it turns   
   off Wi-Fi (or that you must turn it off), because the phone needs its   
   Wi-Fi 'radio' to be used as a Wi-Fi hotspot. It can not do both at the   
   same time.   
      
     So in short: Check that the Wi-Fi hotspot in your phone is not only   
   configured, but also switched on. And check that the Wi-Fi connection of   
   the phone to the Telco's modem is of/disconnected.
