After that, make a tick in the check box that is positioned before Enable Internet Sharing. Thereafter, expand the drop-down menu and select the internet connection that you want to share or use as the internet connection source of your hotspot. This should be Ethernet. But, you can also use Wi-Fi, DSL, 3G/HSDPA/4G.
