What is the beaver thing, and, do the cellphone and the computer, not have wifi?

Using a wifi cellphone as a wifi hotspot, for use as a 4G modem,
should be simple.

I switch between 4G wifi modems, and, a 4G cellphone as a wifi hotspot
(I can switch easily between carriers, by doing this), without any
problems.
