Hello,

Thank you for taking a look at my post.

I have a desktop cpu. I have a phone that can tether, but i have a limited amount of data. I'm in a house with wifi. Is it possible to use my phone to connect my computer to the wifi? I can not use a wire to directly connect my cpu.

wifi > phone < computer...... Possible ???

Thanks for the help....!

Cheers, Cad
 
Yes that's definitely possible.

1. Connect your phone to your house wifi
2. Connect your phone via a USB cable to the Desktop
3. Turn on 'USB Tethering' on your phone

Voila, your Desktop will be connected to your house wifi!

If you need more specific instructions, please post what phone model you have and what Operating System your Desktop is running (e.g. Windows 7? Windows 10, Or is it a Mac?)
 
@ Soulphire,

Unfortunately my phone will not let me do that.

I connect to wifi in the house.

turn on USB tethering on the phone. Phone said cannot have wifi and tethering on at the same time.
