How to connect internet from your andriod phone device to your PC/Laptop.



All you need is a Wi-Fi connection, with already connected internet connection to the android mobile device. We can access the internet from laptop through the mobile device through tethering. This process involves a connection between two independent devices to share information. They can be done via either USB cable or through Bluetooth connection. My favorite way of tethering is through Bluetooth, as we don't want many cables running from our computers. The first step is by enabling the Bluetooth connection between both laptop and android mobile device and also making the devices into visible mode. The second step is adding the Bluetooth from PC to a PAN connection, this can be done by looking through Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers and pairing the Bluetooth enabled android phone. There is an option which says connect using, ACCESS POINT, this will establish a tethering connection between laptop and phone, whose internet can be shared. The tethering can also be done via Mobile Data connection, but some of the mobile operators will charge for the data usage and it also drains more battery comparatively than this process.

The advantage of this whole process is, we can turn off the laptop's wireless connection, while the disadvantage is the mobile consume extra battery power than normal for turning on the Bluetooth connection, but this problem can be rectified by connecting the mobile phone to the charger on the other hand. The consumption of battery power by Bluetooth connection via Wi-Fi is comparatively less than the battery consumption when connected to mobile data/3G connection.
