I did a quick test in Qml, which is attached. It's missing the
explanatory text at the top but otherwise it should be good. This is a
single page in the stack with the following properties:

- whether hotspot is on or not is explicitly clear
- entry boxes become uneditable when hotspot is turned ot
- hotspot can't be turned on if password or ssid is empty

Having all this on a single page is easier to implement and, at least in
my personal opinion, easier to use.
