USB modem

Using your phone as a USB tethering allows you to share the Internet with other connected devices. Only in this case the connection is made via USB. The method is old and is hardly used now.

For clarity:

1. We connect the smartphone via a usb cable to any computer / laptop.
2. In the phone, activate the usb modem option (Settings – Connections – Access point and modem – USB modem).
3. We are waiting for windows to install the necessary drivers. On my Win7, the modem appeared in the device manager as a Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device. Your name may be different.
4. Next, we set up the Internet connection on the computer. Through START we go to the control panel – modems – Internet connections. We add a new connection via a smartphone (we fill in the dial-up number, login and password).
5. Through the control panel on the computer, we find our modem (phone) – Properties. In the “Additional initialization commands” field, write the modem initialization line: AT + CGDCONT = 1, “IP”, “internet.beeline.ru” (bold for Beeline subscribers) . Each mobile operator has its own access point, check with the support service.
