Android Wifi Hotspot Question

[dcbc 14644]

I googled, but I am a few drinks in.  If I'm using my phone (Pixel 5 in this case) as a hotspot, and the phone is logged into a wifi network, does it continue to use the wifi network and just share it. I didn't think that was the case, but I was having remote access issues using my phone as a hotspot, and when I got on my home wifi, things worked fine.  Wondering if it's an issue with my phone/mobile network and remote access or trying to gain remote access on the same wifi network, which makes more sense if the phone is sharing the wifi on the hotspot.

Wifi hotspot is via cell data only. When you turn on Hotspot, your wifi on the phone will turn off.

Thanks.  I think there's something in the mobile data settings that can be tweaked that is causing the conflict with the vpn.
