I was wondering if anyone knew how to connect Nexus4 to a Windows7 PC via USB and use it as a cellular modem?
Is there a way to do this without a third party app?
Go to Settings
Under Wireless and Network, go to More
Go to Tethering and Portable Hotspot
Check USB tethering (cable must be connected to computer, you lose access to phone sdcard when tether)

Hello,
I would like to ask if there is any tethering app which will allow me to share my wifi internet trough phone via usb to my old computer?
I have Cm10 rom but if it will be neccessary I will change it even to stock because its very important for me. Thanks in advance for help.
The process is called reverse tethering. Did a google search and I think this should work https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.littlelan.ReverseTether.Trial&hl=en
Hmm... I don't think you understood me well.
I will explain...
I have wifi internet in my house but i have not got a possibility to connect my router via cable with my computer which doesnt have wifi.
So I would like to use my phone as wifi adapter (via usb) to have internet on my computer.
U sure that this program is good for me?
Did you enebled usb tetherin?
I think it should be the same way if you were connect to 3G, just connect to wifi network and enable the native usb tethering feature.
Hi,
I got the Asus N56 router and would like to extend the wireless range of my Note 3 by having it connected via USB.
I am using the app WiFi Tether Router to generally tether, but it seems I need to enable USB Tethering in system options to have it work with the router. However, this is the official option from T-Mobile so if I enable it, it will use my tether/hotspot limit for the month.
Is there any way I can hide that for USB tethering? Or has the WiFi Tether router any option I miss for that?
Also, I do not need to set the router into AP mode for that, right?
Thanks
Is it possible to USB tether a phone to a portable WiFi router and share the phone data through WiFi?
Searched and found nothing.
I don't think so
Hello,
there is an app that share internet via usb to phone, try to activate access point but i'm not sure that it will work, because the internet shared by usb will not be detected by system.
I've seen articles/posts about reverse tethering (getting internet from PC to phone) and obviously regular Bluetooth and Wi-Fi tethering...
Say my home ISP service is down for some reason and I want to use some of my mobile data in the house temporarily.
Is there a way to get tethering setup so internet from mobile phone LTE gets sent out the USB, through a micro-USB OTG adapter, to a USB-to-Ethernet adapter, and then run an Ethernet cable from the adapter to my WAN port on my wireless router? Then all my wired and wireless devices can get internet access through the router so it handles DHCP and all that and the phone just tethers to the WEB interface of the router.
I know I can do the reverse of this, hard-wire Ethernet into my phone if for some reason I didn't have Wi-Fi or cellular connections. How about the opposite?
My phone is unlocked, rooted, and I'm pretty decent at editing config files if necessary!
More research shows maybe I'm better off using usb tethering to a usb port on the router and running dd-wrt. Or setting up router add a client bridge and using Wi-Fi tether instead of cable connection.
