I need to get internet on my computer to my USB connected phone

Question

My laptop has internet via Ethernet. I have connected a phone via USB which has no internet. So, is there any way I can get internet working on my phone via USB. The laptop is an HP Pavillion DV6. The phone is a Moto G (1st gen).

Note: My laptop doesn't have Wi-Fi capabilities for some reason. Only Bluetooth is working.

Note 2: I apologize for inconvenience if this information is incomplete.

Answer 1

Not sure if this would work with your Moto G but an Android solution has been posted in the Android SE: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/73168/how-to-use-pcs-internet-on-android-phone-through-usb-cable. Not sure if this wouold work on your version of Moto G...

Alternatively, you could look at an OTG USB-to-Ethernet adapter which would then allow you to be able to plug your phone directly into your router via an Ethernet cable - if your router has a spare LAN socket.

Answer 2

USB? well why not turn the HP Pavilion into a hotspot

Goto Network Connections and right-click on your wireless adapter and select Properties. Now goto the Wireless Network Tab and click on the Advanced button. Select Computer to Computer (Ad hoc) networking option. If you get a window with an SSID box, you can specify the network name in it, in our example we will use Wi-Fi as the SSID. Now close the window and click on Add Preferred Networks.

Enter the settings as follows:

Network name (SSID) : Wi-Fi Network Authentication : Open Data Encryption : Disabled

This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network, wireless access points are not used” option if it isn’t already ticked. To automatically connect to the network, goto the Connection tab and tick on the Connect automatically when in range option. Now, to configure the TCP/IP connection settings, goto the General tab and select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button. Set the Values as:-

IP Address - 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway - 192.168.0.2

5. Click OK and you have finished the steps
