7 days agoI had no idea! So you use the phone in tether mode and get it hooked up on a router ethernet port and it works like that? Did you have to change any settings on your router to make it work?

You don’t need an ethernet adapter to use your phone as a cabled hotspot for a computer. Just a regular usb cabe works just fine, I’ve done it before when our home internet was down.
I don’t, but I don’t think there’s anything fundamentally wrong with doing so. Me and my dad don’t get along great, so we try to keep it short and civil when I visit, to keep the peace. I know that i would have to be in a really bad spot to move back in and deal with his bad temper regularly again.
