The wifi hotspot uses mobile data and requires an active wifi reciever on the computer while the usb tether can use mobile or wifi data and only requires a working usb on the computer.
You basically only plug a usb data cord between the computer and phone, and then activate usb tether in the phones connection settings
I had to look up tethering on my phone to find that USB was an option. I never knew! Thanks! Much easier than remembering to turn off the mobile hotspot, or adding another wifi connection to the computer (hotel or wherever).
