    Default Tethering N4 to laptop for internet? Help please!

    I'll be traveling overseas and I'll need a secure internet connection for my laptop. I don't trust hotel wifi.

    Is there a cable I can connect my N4 to my laptop, in order to use the internet data from my phone on my laptop?

    I'd prefer a cabled solution as opposed to wifi.

    Thanks!

    That's for a wireless hotspot. What he's looking for is a way to attach the phone to his laptop via USB cable and get a connection that way.

    What you need is an app like It requires you to install some software on your laptop as well as the app on your phone, but the set-up is pretty simple and it works well. I used it in Vegas once a year or two ago when I needed to upload some files but didn't want to pay the outrageous wifi access costs at the hotel. Give it a shot.

    Thanks Citizen Coyote - this one looks to be better reviewed:

    Don't have my N4 yet so I can't test, but great to see that it's hopefully possible.
