A common problem that usually occurs on computers is that, either by the network plate, the wireless adapter or a lousy signal reception, the PC is impossible to connect to a Wi -Fi network. However, if you have a mobile, you will solve this inconvenience quickly and safely.
Smartphones have the ability to become a Wi -Fi antenna for the computer to share the connection directly and stable. Now, despite how useful this function is, the truth is that it is not exposed to the naked eye. Therefore, in this article you will learn everything you should do.
Steps to turn your phone into a wifi antenna
Before starting, it is important that you have a USB cable compatible with your mobile and PC to complete the procedure. Android indications are the following:
– Take your smartphone and connect it to the computer through the USB cable. Once this is done, enter the “adjustments” of the phone and select “Internet and networks.”
-Being within the menu of your terminal’s networks, press “Hotspot and connection by mobile devices” (this option could also be called “Wi-Fi zone and connection”).
– Activate the “USB” connection switch for the mobile to share the Internet through the USB cable. This will be enough for the computer to detect the Internet connection through the phone and use it as if it were an Ethernet network.
In iOS
On the iPhone the procedure is similar, however, you will not be able to share the Wi-Fi network because the operating system will only allow you to send your mobile data to the computer. Taking this into account, follow these steps:
– Connect the iPhone to the PC using the USB cable and, if a warning comes out asking if you trust the PC, oppress “trust.”
– Finally, activate the data on the iPhone and press the “Share Internet” option so that the computer detects the signal and use it as if it were an Ethernet connection.
