How to Tether Android Smartphone or Tablet | How to Tether Phone and Share Its Internet (Hotspot)

How to Use Your Mobile Phone (Smartphone) as a Router (Mobile Hotspot) | How to Tether Your Phone to PC

Your smartphone's mobile data can be used to connect another device such as a phone, tablet, or computer and that device can connect to the Internet using your phone's data. This is called Tethering.

The data you are sharing with other devices is your phone service provider's Internet or your plan data, this is not WiFi Internet.

In this video, I will show you how to tether your phone to share its Internet with other devices.

Here are the steps in brief. Watch the video for details.

Settings - Network and Internet - Hotspot and Tethering - Wi-Fi Hotspot

You can also use the below shortcut:

Swipe down from the top of the screen - Tap Hotspot

I just want to say a huge huge thank you for this video because I have been so fed up for months with my wifi provider (suffering slow connection and days of poor to zero signal). My phone has excellent service no matter what and was great as a back up when my wifi failed. I was sure you could connect to the data but didn't know how and your video helped me out! Your video was very clear with your step by step instructions and I have managed to successfully tether my devices! And I can now also cancel my wifi provider and save money! Thank you so so much for this🙏🏿

THE DESIGNERS OF WIFI, INTERNET, .MOBILES, AND TABLETS MUST DESIGN SIMPLER METHODS, NON TECHNOBABBLE
LANGUAGE, AND
SYSTEMS FOR TETHERING.
THIS VIDEO WAS HELPFULL ALTHOUGH THE ENGLISH WAS NOT GREAT. I THINK I CONNECTED IT AFTER WATCHING
THIS VIDEO. I HAVE BEEN TRYING EVERYTHING.
THANKYOU TO THE CREATER OF THE VIDEO, AND I WISH I COULD GIVE HIME ENGLISH LESSONS TO ASSIST HIM.

Tethering via USB makes it so you do NOT use you HotSpot data, that should be the ONLY option enabled to at least plug into a laptop not sure about Chromebook. As soon as you enable Wifi Hotspot thats starts piling through your Mobile Hotspot allotment from your carrier. USB tethering is so you use the "unlimited" data from your phones plan, not the Hotspot Data that is often much less.

Thank you for explaining what the terminology means and an easy to follow tutorial.

[RawFitChris]

This is a very clear, easy and straighforward process! Thanks for explaining it well. And you were perfectly understandable. I like that you also included a speed test at the end.

Thanks for sharing this informative video.

I just tried with my phone on AT&T plan. When I turned tethering ON, i got a msg that said when tethering WIFI will be disabled. I guess my plan doesnt allow it. I needed to learn primarily for my trip abroad where i can get a data SIM card and wanted to use data on that phone and connect to other devices. I have an unlocked phone for that purpose and will give it a try and i am sure it should work and is simple the way you explained.

[Pro_Skillz]

Thanks for the video, but please just get to the point. Little bit of feedback.

[cookmaster]

Excellent Tutorial and very well explained. Does the password on the Host device has to be set up by you when turning tethering on? Thank you

[vickiparkway]

Thank you so much for explaining this to me but could you just give the steps and not what phone you're using or what service you're using just get straight to the facts.

[ericstowe]

Dude if u are going to give advice to people at least know what u are taking about. This is not tethering, this mobile hotspot. Two very different things, mot unlimited plans come with maybe 5 gb of hotspot. This is not mobile data. Big difference

[kimberlyguillen]

I forgot to the password for the hotspot.

[nurullahbaran]

I followed your advice then my tablet wanted password to connect to my mobile data, I couldn't connect. I don't know the password

[aimaction]

I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS, AND THEY DO NOT WORK.

[maimoua]

Bro it says it doesn't support mobile tethering

[aimaction]

THE ENGLISH IS ONLY 50 %, BUT I DID CONNECT PREVIOUSLY.

[williamdiedwardo]
