If you have a single internet connection, you might want to connect your laptop and Android phone or iPhone, tablet, or other mobile devices to share Internet access. Sharing mobile’s internet connection with laptop is quite easy, you can do it by using mobile PC suite. But in case, if you want to do the reverse that is use your laptop’s data connection for Internet access on our Android phone or iPhone, tablet, or other mobile device, then you must go for reverse tethering. Reverse tethering will allow you to share the 3G dongle or data card internet connection from your laptop to your mobile phones / gadgets. Also you can form a wifi network with this to share files as well. You can use this trick even in Hotels or restaurants which provide internet access only to a single device say laptop and you want to use it with other gadgets simultaneously as well. In short, We are going to create a personal wireless hotspot from computer’s internet connection to access internet from your Wi-Fi enabled smart phone.

We can achieve this by two methods :

• 1) Using already available resources in your pc to share internet over Wi-Fi
• 2) Using 3rd party software to share Wi-Fi with your mobile phone
