Sharing your phone's data
connection
USB tethering and portable Wi-Fi hotspot are
great features when there are no wireless
connections available. You can share your
phone's mobile data connection with a
single computer via a USB cable (USB
tethering). You can also share your phone's
data connection with more than one device
at a time by turning your phone into a
portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
When your phone is sharing its data
When your phone is sharing its data
connection, an icon appears in the status
bar and as an ongoing notification in the
notifications drawer.

TIP!
If your computer is running
Windows 7 or a recent distribution of
some flavours of Linux (such as Ubuntu),
you don't usually need to prepare your
computer for tethering. But if you're
running an earlier version of Windows
or another operating system, you may
need to prepare your computer to
establish a network connection via USB.
