Why buy a modem if u you have your have your android!
Technology is here to stay and the faster you catch up with it and embrace it the more easier life will be for you! Technology is quite a flexible field whose dynamic nature always gives technologists a run for their money while at the same time keeping all and sundry at bay ready to discover the complexities that are therein. this is the point i get to say that third parties like me come in handy to demystify the rather convoluted structure of technology!
Its a "smart" generation ...ranging from smartphones to smart TVs ...screens are becoming the artificial oxygen...a thing you cant do without! its either your phone, your TV, or your laptop!(you can add your windscreen too if you felt left out)owning all these gadgets will make you have some sense of belonging and this is the point you will feel like your technological quest has been met. Well...the struggle might as well be far from over since you will have to buy other supporting devices that would otherwise be branded accessories .
In this case we will focus on two gadgets ..an ANDROID phone and a MODEM.
a MODEM is exclusively designed to provide internet connection to your PC and that's that!(maybe you can use the recent modems as micro SD readers too). Your android device on the other hand is a a user device with a buffet of applications that might be overwhelming considering the vast grounds in terms of uses it traverses.!(please tell me my phone can do my laundry!)
USING YOUR PHONE AS A MODEM!
First you should consider navigating your settings and enabling the usb debugging mode. In some phones like Samsung galaxy s4 this option is usually not shown unless a developer already got geeky with your phone. Do not despair if this option does not show just click onto this link>>>>How to enable developer option on your android phone to help you add the developer option tagged usb debugging.
Hoping you have successfully turned on the usb debugging you can now go to you settings...click on more then Click onto TETHERING AND PORTABLE HOTSPOT .
You can now check the USB tethering if unchecked and bingo! your computer can now share your phones internet! check on your computers status bar for the network status and if you see something like in the image below then start enjoying your surfing.
Now that was fast and easy ..don't start feeling like a hacker already.. you just substituted your modem with your phone or better still..you found it unnecessary to buy a modem
SHARING YOUR INTERNET WIRELESSLY USING YOUR ANDROID PHONE'S HOTSPOT
This is the second option just in case you are one of those folks who find a wireless network the most amazing and scintillating invention of all time! No one doesn't know what WIFI is this days and the first thing one will check once they enter an area with all sorts of technological alerts is check if there is an open network . The lust is usually brought to an abrupt heartbreak once you find the WiFi network locked! well its not the end of the world you know .... you can create your own WiFi network with your phone and have people on your neck literally beseeching for your password.. makes you feel like a CEO of some internet providing company huh??!
This is how you create a WiFi network on your android phone....
First make sure your data connection is turned ON just so you are able to share your mobile network wirelessly
Go to your settings and click on tethering and portable hotspots on your wireless and networks option. Turn on the WiFi hotspot ... this should automatically be reflected on your notification bar with a message "tethering or hotspot active"...
This created network network allows for the modification of the SSID (service set identifier) and the password allowing you to have absolute control of your network in terms of confidentiality an authenticity! You can even monitor the number of connections from your device and cut of any unscrupulous connections.
Thats how you simply create a simple router that will get tongues wagging in pursuit for a password whilst you sit back and enjoy your private connection like a boss!
And just so you know u wont even need to buy a modem after all thanks to Android!
