Can you please clarify if you want to use your mobile phone to provide an |
27 |
internet connection to your laptop? |

Assuming the answer is yes, you should only need to do the following: |
30 |
- Configure your mobile to enable "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" |
31 |
- Configure your laptop to connect to your mobile as if it's a standard |
32 |
WiFi hotspot/access point. |
33 |
|
34 |
There should be no need to adjust anything else on your laptop. |
35 |
|
36 |
The website you followed describes how to do it with a USB-connection. |
37 |
That works differently then when using WIFI. |
