One of the biggest as well as most significant results of technological revolution was the introduction of smart phones. The world has got so addicted with them that today we cannot think of being not connected with the outside world for even a single second. Internet plays an important role in keeping us updated with the world around us. Again, technology has made it easier than ever to access the internet directly from our portable hand held devices.
Also, in case you own a device with 3G/ 4G facility, you can easily go online by simply connecting it with your laptop/ tablet whenever there is an urgent need for internet connection.
All about Tethering
In its literal meaning, tethering refers to the connection of a smart phone or a tablet (3G/ 4G enabled) with a laptop in order to share the internet connection between the both. The connection is established when the latter takes 3G/ 4G signals from the formal. This comes handy in places where there is no scope for a Wi-Fi connection. Depending on the current arena of smart phones as well as tablets in the market, there are 3 possible ways in which tethering can take place.
Types of Tethering
Bluetooth tethering :
In case you do not have your USB cable with you and are desperately in need for an internet connection, then USB tethering is the most viable option for you. It is most suitable for long distances. In the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich version, Bluetooth tethering is a fully fledged feature.
This is the easiest of all as all you need to do is pair your smart phone/ tablet with the laptop and you are ready to go. The speed of the connection may vary depending on the Bluetooth version and network of your smart phone. Also, the signals may be weaker than that in case of Wi-Fi tethering.
USB tethering:
For this, you need to install the device driver of your smart phone/ tablet in your laptop and plug your device in any of the USB ports in the laptop. After this, you can use your device as a USB modem by using the connection manager settings of your laptop/ PC. An advantage of this kind of tethering is that there is no scope for battery drainage as the device will get charged while connected to the PC/ laptop. But it provides one- to- one connection only.
Wi-Fi tethering :
This kind of tethering is also known as Mobile Hotspot. It is the most commonly used tethering and the advantage is that a number of devices can be connected to within a single Wi-Fi network. The Wi-Fi router provides a one- to- many connection and you just need to activate the Mobile Hotspot on your device. Though there is ample loss of battery but this is a widely used tethering method.
Carrier restrictions in US :
Since 3G/ 4G enabled smart phones and tablets are essential for establishing a tethering connection, it is expensive for the consumers in US. The reason behind this is that data plans are comparatively expensive there and not every plan supports tethering service as well.
There are 4 major data plans that allow this facility in the US:
- Verizon
- Sprint
- AT&T
- T- Mobile
