Learn How To Share Your Internet Connection [Tethering] On Android [Step-by-step] With Pictures




You may have heard of the word "Tethering" before and might not know what it meant. Tethering is the act of sharing your phone’s mobile data connection with another device—such as your laptop or tablet—connecting it to the Internet through your phone’s data connection. There are several ways to tether on Android And I'll be listing them below.

Types of Tethering 

I'll cover how to use each tethering method belo. Here’s how they compare:
  1. Wi-Fi Tethering: Wi-Fi tethering turns your phone into a little Wi-Fi hotspot. It creates a Wi-Fi network that you connect to with your computer. It has decent speeds and you can connect more than one device—but the battery will drain faster than if you used one of the below options.
  2. Bluetooth Tethering: Bluetooth tethering is significantly slower than Wi-Fi, but uses less battery. You can only tether one device at a time via Bluetooth as well. It probably isn’t worth using unless you’re really trying to stretch your battery.
  3. USB Tethering: USB tethering has the fastest speeds, but you have to connect your phone to your laptop with a USB cable. Your phone’s battery won’t drain because it will draw power from your computer’s USB port.

     Wi-Fi Tethering





Tap the Set up Wi-Fi hotspot option and you’ll be able to configure your phone’s Wi-Fi hotspot, changing its SSID (name) and password. Leave the security set to WPA2 PSK unless you need to use an older device that doesn’t support this encryption standard. WPA2 PSK is the most secure option, and you don’t want other people connecting to your hotspot and running up your data.





As both devices start to communicate, you’ll get a prompt on each asking to confirm that unique code is the same. If it is (and it should be), click Pair on both the phone and the computer. They should be connected over Bluetooth after that.

Now that the two are paired, you’re almost ready to use the Bluetooth tether feature. First, jump back into the Tethering & Portable Hotspot screen on your phone, then enable Bluetooth tethering.


Back on the computer, right click on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray, then choose “Join a personal area network.”

When this menu opens, your phone should be present. Click on it, then the “Connect using” dropdown. Choose “Access Point.”

Once the connection has been established, you’ll get a quick confirmation popup. Done and done—you can now use the Bluetooth connection to access the web.

USB Tethering

Connect your phone to your laptop via a USB cable, and you’ll see the USB tethering option become available. Tap it .



Your our computer should automatically detect this new type of internet connection and make it available.
