How to Tether Android Smartphone or Tablet | How to Tether Phone and Share Its Internet (Hotspot)

How to Use Your Mobile Phone (Smartphone) as a Router (Mobile Hotspot) | How to Tether Your Phone to PC
Your smartphone's mobile data can be used to connect another device such as a phone, tablet, or computer and that device can connect to the Internet using your phone's data. This is called Tethering.
The data you are sharing with other devices is your phone service provider's Internet or your plan data, this is not WiFi Internet.
In this video, I will show you how to tether your phone to share its Internet with other devices.
Here are the steps in brief. Watch the video for details.
Settings - Network and Internet - Hotspot and Tethering - Wi-Fi Hotspot
You can also use the below shortcut:
Swipe down from the top of the screen - Tap Hotspot

worked. Amazing. Been working on this for over 3 months.

[@BJ-zn1dr]

Thank you for explaining what the terminology means and an easy to follow tutorial.

[@CoffeeBeanWitch]

I just want to say a huge huge thank you for this video because I have been so fed up for months with my wifi provider (suffering slow connection and days of poor to zero signal). My phone has excellent service no matter what and was great as a back up when my wifi failed. I was sure you could connect to the data but didn't know how and your video helped me out! Your video was very clear with your step by step instructions and I have managed to successfully tether my devices! And I can now also cancel my wifi provider and save money! Thank you so so much for this🙏🏿

[@elizabethjanz2534]

You did a great job.

[@MsLovelylady75]

It worked thank you!!

[@IanHall-zq1dn]

Simple and easy to follow. Thank You.

[@photomaster1]

Thank you for this.

[@jimmyfal]

Tethering via USB makes it so you do NOT use you HotSpot data, that should be the ONLY option enabled to at least plug into a laptop not sure about Chromebook. As soon as you enable Wifi Hotspot thats starts piling through your Mobile Hotspot allotment from your carrier. USB tethering is so you use the "unlimited" data from your phones plan, not the Hotspot Data that is often much less.

[@samuelmorales1734]

Tethering only support to work by itself without using your Hotspot right? Well my Hotspot was off and I use Tethering only. It used my all my Hotspot. Why it did that?

[@jimmyfal]

@@samuelmorales1734 Hey I had forgotten about this comment, you are correct and I was wrong. I had previously read many articles that supported my point, and now most if not all cell companies count tethering as mobile hotspot. I Apologize for the error.

[@samuelmorales1734]

@@jimmyfal i think in my point of view, thats is a rip-off. Phone companies that do those practices should be held accountable, because they should be very transparent to the public, that tethering is considered as a Hotspot. But never the less, Hotspot should be Hotspot, tethering should be tethering. Do you agree. Thank you for responding back to me.

[@jimmyfal]

@@samuelmorales1734 yeah of course it's a rip-off. But I think as time goes on and competition increases an, things will get better. Where I think it's a real rip-off is when you want to order extra gigabytes that's a rip-off.

[@samuelmorales1734]

[@tahminasiddiqui853]

Thanks for sharing this informative video.

[@claytonhatfield4278]

way too much unnecessary chatter.

[@aimaction7393]

THE DESIGNERS OF WIFI, INTERNET ,.MOBILES, AND TABLETS MUST DESIGN SIMPLER METHODS , NON TECHNOBABBLE LANGUAGE, AND SYSTEMS FOR TETHERING. THIS VIDEO WAS HELPFULL ALTHOUGH THE ENGLISH WAS NOT GREAT. I THINK I CONNECTED IT AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO. I HAVE BEEN TRYING EVERYTHING. THANKYOU TO THE CREATER OF THE VIDEO, AND I WISH I COULD GIVE HIME ENGLISH LESSONS TO ASSIST HIM.

[@RawFitChris]

I must disagree with you on one thing- his English was perfect, and the entire process he described was presented clearly. It was very straightforward and simple too. And I am far from a tech person. This was easy peasy man! I don't know what you are referring to

[@aimaction7393]

@@RawFitChris BULLSHIT.

[@cookmaster3626]

I just tried with my phone on AT&T plan. When I turned tethering ON, i got a msg that said when tethering WIFI will be disabled. I guess my plan doesnt allow it. I needed to learn primarily for my trip abroad where i can get a data SIM card and wanted to use data on that phone and connect to other devices. I have an unlocked phone for that purpose and will give it a try and i am sure it should work and is simple the way you explained.

[@ADawn]

This should work. Possibly your current plan is blocking it.

[@vickiparkway6402]

Thank you so much for explaining this to me but could you just give the steps and not what phone you're using or what service you're using just get straight to the facts.

[@cookmaster3626]

Excellent Tutorial and very well explained. Does the password on the Host device has to be set up by you when turning tethering on? Thank you

[@ADawn]

Yes. You can also try not using a password to see if it works, but not recommended.

[@MrThirstysuperior]

thanks

[@ericstowe8285]

Dude if u are going to give advice to people at least know what u are taking about. This is not tethering, this mobile hotspot. Two very different things, mot unlimited plans come with maybe 5 gb of hotspot. This is not mobile data. Big difference

[@kimberlyguillen7324]

I forgot to the password for the hotspot.

[@aimaction7393]

THE ENGLISH IS ONLY 50 %, BUT I DID CONNECT PREVIOUSLY.

[@RawFitChris]

This is a very clear, easy and straighforward process! Thanks for explaining it well. And you were perfectly understandable. I like that you also included a speed test at the end.

[@ADawn]

Thanks for the comment.

[@Pro_Skillz]

Thanks for the video, but please just get to the point. Little bit of feedback.

[@ADawn]

That is a good point! Newer videos this type I am making it shorter and to the point.

[@williamdiedwardo7557]

Shorten your video you're probably in a lot more thumbs up

[@ADawn]

In the past, I made videos longer. But now, I have been working to make each and every video shorter. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@nurullahbaran2233]

I followed your advice then my tablet wanted password to connect to my mobile data , I couldn't connect. I don't know the password

[@ADawn]

Under settings - Hotspot and Tethering, you can view the password by clicking on it.

[@mdedes9891]

​@@ADawnor set up your own under that same settings.

[@maimoua3288]

Bro it says it doesn't support mobile tethering

[@ADawn]

The 2 possible reasons I can think of it's old version or your provider blocks it.

[@aimaction7393]

I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS, AND THEY DO NOT WORK.

[@jimmydakthon3433]

U are going around the bush 5 minutes you are eating a data

[@stevejessemey8428]

And uhhh I uhhhh Uhhhhhh but uhhhhh so ahhhhhhh this uhhhhh was ahhhhhhhhhhh helpful.Ahhhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh. Wow get to the point !!!!!!!!

[@horoszkodevora360]

You take to long to get the point!

[@sabeena011]

Then you should have ended the video and found a shorter one! 🤭 Why do you think you can see how many minutes the video is? Then you cam make a choice on weather you're prepared to sit though a 9 minute demonstration. Also you could fast forward any part of the video if you wish. I personally found the video very helpful. I had watched 3 very short videos previously and I still wasn't able to tether my tablet to my phone. This video.. and BINGO! I managed it first time. ❤️
