Tethering my iPad to my iPhone 5 and using my iPhone 5 wifi (not 3G)

HI All,


At my place I am only allowed to connect 1 personal device to the work's WIFI. So I connect my Iphone 5. Now I want to tether my iPad mini to my Iphone 5 (using personal hotspot, bluetooth) but as soon as I do that the Iphone disables the WIFI so I end up using my iPhone 3G signal and not the free Wifi. Is this normal or did my provider disable it?


thanks

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4

Normal. You cannot tether using WiFi, only a cellular data connection.
