Get Internet on Laptop From Phone.

[NoshowJones]

Somebody already told me about this but I have lost the notes. I have full internet on my smartphone. How do I get it from my smartphone on to my laptop. Thanks.

Go into connection settings on your phone. Open the Hotspot, give a name and password. Connect using wifi on the laptop.

Open the internet connection on your phone.

Then turn on "Hotspot" on your phone.

You need to set up a password  to connect to it.

 

Go to your laptop.

Open connections

Look for your phone listed as a connection

click on that and enter the passowrd you set up on your hotspot.

Done.

Just be aware that it will be a heavy drain on your phone battery if you use it for any length of time.

So keep it plugged into your charger.

Which will just kill your battery.  In fact on an older battery you could find it still losing charge even though it is "charging".

I agree that may not be the case with modern fast chargers and phones but it will not be good for your battery in the long term.

Thanks Charlie, that should be it.

Do you have Hotspot or tethering option on your package?
