Description: How to Share Internet Connection from an Android Smartphone to another Smartphone or Desktop (Laptop).
If you have an android mobile phone with the data plan, you may share your android mobile's internet connection with your home computer, laptop or other devices (another smartphones). I am using a broadband internet connection in my laptop which is stable for connectivity, but whenever I do not get the connectivity due to any technical issue by our ISP, I share our android 3G or 4G internet pack with my laptop. This is the best feature I like the most. You can easily share your Jio 4G internet connection using Wifi Hotspot from your Smartphone to your personal laptop.
