On all Androids that I had earlier, the APN settings were set to default. And everything worked.
On the current Motorola, the HotSpot mode does not work by default.
Here they suggested - to make the APN type "dun, default, supl"
Hotspot earned :)
Now I want to understand for myself. dun is Dial-up Networking
What is supl? Something can't be googled

APN type supl
Indicates the current APN configuration may be used for Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) data, a feature that allows your phone to determine its geographic location from the carrier.
Normally, SUPL data will be able to use the same APN configuration as general internet data, so there will be no need to specify this value explicitly: it will be covered by "default" and will still work fine.
