Stream Netflix from Droid Razr to a Dell Laptop with no Wifi-can it be done?

[bobdalenj]

I have a droid razr. I can get netflix on my phone but my laptop has no wifi. Is there a way to stream netflix to the laptop so I can see on a bigger screen? Tx. Bob

Yes. Are you on one of Verizon's Share Everything plans? If so, hotspot functionality is included in your data plan, so you can just turn on the hotspot, connect your laptop to it, and then your laptop will use your phone's internet connection.

If you're not on one of those plans, you still have some options: There are apps in the market such as Easy Tether and PdaNet that you could look at that allow you to tether the phone to the laptop via a USB cable.

Or you can pay Verizon for the hotspot functionality (not sure how much this is). Or you can root your phone and still use the hotspot functionality for free.

Hope that helps.
