if your phone has the usb tethering option use that to do it

Android hotspot normally uses the wifi to acted as an access point to sharing the 3G signal, not a good long term solution and can get expensive depending on your mobile tariff, also slow.

If your pc connects to your modem via a LAN cable, adding a cheap wifi card and then share that as the access point and all your wireless devices can connect to that.

usb tethering the phone allows you to resend the broadband signal

if you use it without the usb it will use 3g/4g
