3 Ways to Reverse Tether Internet Connection On Android Phone

Using your computer’s internet connection on a smartphone might be feasible in some cases but it’s a big headache to use if the broadband ain’t based on wireless fidelity.

For solving the same, we are here with a tutorial on How to reverse tether your Android device. The process of using Mobile’s internet on PC is called Tethering, and this is entirely reverse of it, and therefore it is called Reverse Tethering.

There are basically only a few methods available for doing this, out of which some are mentioned below.

2. Sharing a LAN connection over Wi-Fi [Connectify]

If you are not using the latest version of Windows then you need the Connectify Hotspot software on the host device, the pro version of the Connectify Hotspot to be more specific. Using the software and following the steps given below, you can create your own customizable hotspot network with which you can share your internet connection with friends and family over WiFi, that too without the need for a WiFi router.
