How to use your mobile network on you laptop

It sometimes happens to us that we are in transit and want to use or work in the Internet. We have smart mobiles which can be more than enough to view things on mobile but sometimes it is hard to glare that small screen and find out the money. So we need to connect this internet with our laptop or tab. The procedure is simple - 

  • Switch on the wifi option of laptop or tab.
  • Go to setting of your android or any smart phone.
  • Click on wireless connection option.
  • Press the hotspot and tethering option on the mobile.
  • You sometime need to give password or set a password while turning the tethering on.
  • Use the password to connect to the available wifi network seen on the laptop.
Simple way and can do good if you need a real Internet , not in your mobile but in your big screen laptop or tab.

USB Modem Problem with Windows 8.1

So everyone is updating the Operating system of their computers/ laptops to Windows 8.1/ Why not? This is the coolest Microsoft product and fun to work with. I also installed this latest version of the OS. But the problem is when I tried to access Internet using the USB modem. I have Micromax USB modem which needs a software to install before you can use it.
So, I installed the S/W. And after restart it was not functional. I did not know what to do. But I somehow figured it out. The procedure is fair and easy -

  • Insert the modem.
  • Install the modem setup.exe file by right clicking and then click on Troubleshoot Compatibility mode. Use Windows 7 there for your option.
  • After installation and rebooting the PC you go to the Installation file. Which will probably in Program Files(X86) under C drive.
  • Right click on the every installable file there and install.
  • Now click on the installed file which is on desktop. And voila - you can work now.
