WR802N Why use client mode and not hotspot mode?

I have version 4. firmware
I set it up in hotspot mode because I needed the ethernet wired to a device that has to transmit data over the internet.
I use my phone hotspot as the wifi that the wr802n connects to. I can connect my computers to that wirelessly or wired.
It works fine. If I am on a public wifi I use the phone hotspot to connect whenever I have to enter passwords etc. Then I switch
back to the public wifi. I don't have any problems with the phone hotspot.
Tech support told me I should use client mode. I haven't tried that yet. What will client mode do for me?
Tech support gave me a link to a new firmware upgrade. What does the new firmware do better than ver 4.
Unless I know what its going to do different my view is "if it aint broke don't fix it"
