In today’s fast-paced world, staying connected to the internet is essential. However, sometimes we may find ourselves in a situation where we have access to a computer with internet but not our mobile devices. In such cases, knowing how to use your PC’s internet on your mobile device can be a lifesaver. In this article, we will discuss how to use your PC’s internet on your mobile device with a USB connection.
USB Tethering
USB tethering is a feature that allows you to share your computer’s internet connection with your mobile device. This is done by connecting your mobile device to your computer using a USB cable. This feature is available on most modern smartphones and can be used on both Android and iOS devices.
Step 1: Enable USB Tethering on Your Mobile Device
The first step is to enable USB tethering on your mobile device. To do this, go to your device’s settings and look for the “Tethering & portable hotspot” option. Once you find it, tap on it and then enable the “USB tethering” option.
Step 2: Connect Your Mobile Device to Your Computer
Next, connect your mobile device to your computer using a USB cable. Make sure to use a cable that is in good condition and supports data transfer.
Step 3: Allow USB Debugging (Android Only)
If you are using an Android device, you may need to allow USB debugging for the tethering to work. To do this, go to your device’s settings and look for the “Developer options” menu. If you do not see this option, go to “About phone” and tap on the “Build number” 7 times to enable developer options. Once you have access to the developer options, enable the “USB debugging” option.
Step 4: Connect to the Internet
Once your device is connected to your computer, it should automatically start using your computer’s internet connection. If it does not, go to your device’s settings and make sure that the “USB tethering” option is still enabled.
USB Internet
If your mobile device does not support USB tethering, you can still use your computer’s internet on your device using a USB internet connection. This method involves using a USB internet dongle, which can be purchased from most electronics stores.
Step 1: Connect the USB Dongle to Your Computer
The first step is to connect the USB internet dongle to your computer. Make sure to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer to set up the dongle.
Step 2: Connect Your Mobile Device to Your Computer
Next, connect your mobile device to your computer using a USB cable. Make sure to use a cable that is in good condition and supports data transfer.
Step 3: Enable USB Tethering on Your Mobile Device
Just like in the previous method, you will need to enable USB tethering on your mobile device. To do this, go to your device’s settings and look for the “Tethering & portable hotspot” option. Once you find it, tap on it and then enable the “USB tethering” option.
Step 4: Connect to the Internet
Once your device is connected to your computer, it should automatically start using your computer’s internet connection. If it does not, go to your device’s settings and make sure that the “USB tethering” option is still enabled.
By following these simple steps, you can easily use your PC’s internet on your mobile device with a USB connection. This can be a useful solution in situations where you do not have access to Wi-Fi or mobile data. Have you ever used USB tethering or USB internet? Let us know in the comments.
