Diagram

 

of

 

​​

 

“Hotspot

 

Router”

 

Mode 

 

 
So

 

the

 

primary

 

difference

 

between

 

the

 

two

 

modes

 

is

 

that

 

client

 

mode

 

uses

 

the

 

subnet

 

of

 

the 

hotspot,

 

and

 

hotspot

 

router

 

mode

 

creates

 

a

 

new

 

subnet

 

isolated

 

from

 

the

 

hotspot.

 

​​

 

​​

 

​​

 

Normally, 

you

 

can

 

use

 

either

 

client

 

mode

 

or

 

hotspot

 

router

 

mode

 

interchangeably,

 

but

 

the

 

in

 

the

 

following 

circumstances

 

you

 

may

 

want

 

to

 

choose

 

one

 

over

 

the

 

other: 

 

● If

 

your

 

hotspot’s

 

Wi-Fi

 

range

 

is

 

superior

 

to

 

the

 

TP-Link’s,

 

you

 

may

 

want

 

to

 

choose

 

client 

mode

 

and

 

connect

 

your

 

laptop

 

to

 

the

 

hotspot 

● If

 

you

 

are

 

using

 

an

 

iPhone

 

as

 

the

 

hotspot,

 

it

 

is

 

generally

 

better

 

to

 

use

 

hotspot

 

router 

mode,

 

because

 

of

 

some

 

technical

 

limitations

 

in

 

the

 

iPhone’s

 

hotspot

 

(e.g.,

 

it

 

does

 

not 

support

 

more

 

than

 

a

 

handful

 

of

 

devices

 

and

 

will

 

actually

 

​​

stop

 

working

 

if

 

you

 

connect

 

too 

many

 

devices).
