Therewith no other user can connect to the Wifi Hotspot. Here is a short description how to set up a Wifi Hotspot for your Galaxy Note 2:

The set-up of a Wifi Hotspot on a Galaxy Note 2 is similar to the Galaxy S3. However I still think it is a little bit complicated to set up a Wifi hotspot. Anyhow once it is configured it works quite well and it can easily replace a WiFi USB stick for your laptop.
