What does it mean when it says "No internet, secured"??? It had internet
45 minutes ago, when I left to make a phone call.
It must be connected because the button is labeled Disconnect.
I tried both the regular wifi and the one with -5G. Will their
passwords be the same??? (I'm at my brother's so I don't know.)
I had to switch to my phone which told me today I'm up to 80% of my
monthly quota and they will slow the rate soon. ;-(

I think he's referring to 5Ghz wifi.

Wifi-Router that use 5G or 4G as connection to the internet are very
popular in many places. I used one in France during vacation two years ago.

But if your device has WiFi calling enabled *and* you are often
connected to a WiFi network which does not have internet access, this
may explain why you miss calls from time to time.

Thanks. That didn't work. And I guess I hve to google, with the word >xioami, so I did and the first two didn't work.

A reddit guy said:
These are the steps I did to be able to enable wifi calling on Mint
Mobile with a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro:
Call *#*#869434#*#*
It will say something like " VoWifi carrier check was disabled "
Restart the phone.
Go to SIM settings, pick the mint** sim and activate Wifi Calling (it
didn't appear before doing these settings). **Since this is a mint
reddit.
!!!!
More than one person said it worked for them too.
What does he mean by *#*# and #*#*? those very keys on the keypad? YES
he does, becaue I didn't even have to tap "Dial". just putting those
symbols and numbers in got the message "VoWifi carrier check was
disabled". Now I'm restarting. Well, I dont' think it worked for me,
even though I have the same model he does. Oh, well.

The word router is used. Hotspot or tethering is absolutely irrelevant because the wifi-part ist alway the same.
The German name WLAN (Wireless LAN) is much more precise than the
english wifi.

Please explain the difference between a smartphone being used as a
mobile hotspot and a mobile router with an LTE/5G module provide
internet access via WiFi.
Keep in mind, that a smartphone also allows multiple devices to use the hotspot at the same time.

For instance, the phone allows a very limited number of "clients",
something like 6 or 8. A router doesn't specify a limit.
Two computers communicating one to another with a phone in the middle,
will possibly run slower than when there is a proper router in the middle.
The router also accepts ethernet connections.
