How to connect a laptop to the Internet via smartphone

Connect the mobile computer to the world wide web via a smartphone are two common ways. You can use the usual cable connection or BlueTooth. The first option has the obvious advantage: most phones can be recharged through USB cable. Select the program through which you will sync the laptop with the smartphone.

Typically, these programs are available on the official websites of mobile phone manufacturers. Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson have created a very similar utility called PC Suite. Download appropriate software and install it.

Restart the computer and start PC Suite. Connect your smartphone to the laptop, using the cable in a specific format. Wait until the launched program will detect your mobile phone.

Make sure that your smartphone is connected to the Internet. To do this, run the built-in browser and try to open an arbitrary web page. Return to utility PC Suite. Open the menu "Connect to Internet" and click "Configure".

Complete the menu. Specify the connection settings that are recommended to use your mobile operator. Click "Connect" and wait until the phone has connected to the server. Open the Internet browser on the laptopand e check the connection to the Internet.

If you want to use BlueTooth, then enable this feature in the smartphone. Make sure that the device is available for connection to external devices. Search for BlueTooth devices with the laptopand connect to your smartphone. Start PC Suite and wait for the connection. Repeat the Internet settings and connect to the network. Check periodically the battery level of the smartphone.
