Nokia 520 tethering?

helpimcrap · 12 Aug 2013 at 20:52

Hi all,
I use my HTC Wildfire S to tether on my PC and it's great if a little unreliable (could be the phone not the network?).

So i bought a Nokia Lumia 520 with Windows 8. Nice little phone, if very different to my android phone and to start with i hated it but got little more used to it now.

How do you tether this though exactly?

Do i have to connect to it as a wifi pickup after setting it up as wireless internet?

With my android it was easy - plug it in, switch to tether and off you go....

For some reason it doesn't support tethering by USB. You can tether by wifi and still charge by USB.

Unofficialy for some phones you should be able too find drivers that enable USB tethering

For wifi tethering its easy
Go to settings > Internet sharing

Cheers - yeah that's what I figured. Best dig out a wireless adapter I guess.

Hi,

Nokia Lumia 520 tether with up to eight WiFi enabled devices. Go to Settings > Internet Sharing.

Its really brilliant phone with Facebook, Twitter, Xbox, Office and Skype built in. It has plenty of apps to download from Windows Phone Store and a big 4.0" screen, 5MP camera and 8GB storage with expandable memory.

Hope this helps!
