Use your mobile phone to connect laptop to WIFI
Tethering works on the same principle as a hotspot for your mobile computer, but instead of connecting your laptop to the hotspot via Wi-Fi, you connect your phone to your laptop via a USB cable. You’re already using the Internet through your cellular data and network.
Tethering uses less power than a hotspot, so it’s preferable if your phone’s battery is running low. You should keep in mind, however, that data sharing is far less limited with tethering than with a hotspot connection. Tethering is also great for basic activities like email and browsing. The tether alternative wouldn’t work for video streaming or other large files.
This method has some advantages over using a Wi-Fi hotspot. No one can intrude on the network, the computer charges the device, and the USB connection can also have faster speeds than Wi-Fi. However, much of the other information about data prices and tethering rules is still valid.
Use Wi-Fi USB stick and connect to Internet
Wi-Fi USB, also known as Instant Internet, are lightweight USB devices that use a SIM card to provide Internet service from a wireless carrier. They’re usually only slightly larger than a regular USB flash drive.
Wi-Fi USBs work similarly to tethering devices, but don’t have the limitation that they can’t handle video streaming or other tasks involving largeamounts of data. Of course, the amount of data you’ve access to is determined by your cellular plan.
But the strength of the signal also determines the speed of the connection. For seamless browsing, you’ll need 4G or LTE; 3G is sufficient for email, but can fail for photos and larger files. Anything less than 3G is insufficient for online jobs.
Use 4g Dongle to connect Laptop to Internet
A sim card with a data packet connects to the Internet via a 4G dongle. You insert the SIM card into the 4G dongle, which you then connect to the USB socket of your laptop. If you’ve an internet subscription, you can use the sim card of your cell phone. You can also buy a single SIM card that contains only an Internet package.
Use Mobile Hotspot to connect Laptop to Internet
If you’ve a broadband internet connection and a phone? Then you can use your laptop to go online. Tethering is the technology behind it, and you can find the term “tethering” in your phone’s settings. The mobile network can be connected to your phone via a USB cable, or wirelessly via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth by connecting your phone to your laptop.
Hotspot Database App
The demand for free public hotspots is so great that entire applications have been developed to help people find them. Hotspot database applications have an extensive collection of Wi-Fi hotspots worldwide, and others also have codes for hotspots that are only accessible to paying users.
WifiMapper
This fantastic and user-friendly hotspot database software provides a detailed list of hotspots and information about them. You’ll see feedback from Foursquare and WifiMapper for each hotspot, as well as the hotspot’s input form and location.
Password exchange and offline hotspot tables are among the features the app’s designers plan to include in the future.
Wiman
Wiman, which is quickly becoming the largest hotspot website in the world, helps you find free Wi-Fi hotspots wherever you travel. Wiman works much like the Wi-Fi link manager built into your smartphone. It provides you with free Wi-Fi hotspots and classifies them according to their efficiency.
You can also compete with others to see who can find the most free Wi-Fi hotspots using the app and get unique prizes.
Conclusion
Since most of us always have our devices with us, there are many ways to connect laptop to Internet without Wi-Fi. We hope you can get online for free or for as little money as possible with one or more of the alternatives above. Surf safely to get the job done.
