Share your phone's data connection via USB
If your computer is running Windows 7, Mac OS X, or a recent distribution of some flavors of Linux (such
as Ubuntu), you can follow these instructions without any special preparation.
If you're running a version of Windows that precedes Windows 7, or some other operating system, you
may need to prepare your computer to establish a network connection via USB.
1 Connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable.
A USB icon appears at the top of the screen, and the notification Connected as a media device or
Connected as a camera appears briefly at the top of the screen. For the purposes of tethering, the
type of connection doesn't matter.
2 Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Tethering & portable hotspot.
3 Check USB tethering.
Your computer is now sharing your device's data connection.
4 To stop sharing your data connection, uncheck USB tethering or disconnect the USB cable.
