Sharing your phone's data connection

USB tethering and portable Wi-Fi hotspot are great features when there are no wireless connections available.

You can share your phone's mobile data connection with a single computer via a USB cable (USB tethering). You can also share your phone's data connection with more than one device at a time by turning your phone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.

When your phone is sharing its data connection, an icon appears in the status bar and as an ongoing notification in the notifications drawer.

TIP!

If your computer is running Windows 7 or a recent distribution of some flavours of

Linux (such as Ubuntu), you will not usually need to prepare your computer for tethering.

But, if you are running an earlier version of Windows or another operating system, you may need to prepare your computer to establish a network connection via USB.
