Offloading MR5100

This is a question about the Nighthawk MR5100 (M5) mobile LTE hotspot.

 

I theoretically have it set up for offloading via wifi, I am using the ethernet port to connect internet to the computer.  How do I know if the unit is offloading?

 

Also can you set a cellphone hotspot to be the offloading sorce for the wifi?

 

Thanks!

    The UI will show the device is offloading to which WiFi network.

     

    You can offload the device to your mobile phone hotspot.
