Hello All,

I want to use my Laptop internet on my mobile using USB tethering (reverse), Can anyone help me out is it possible.?

Thank you
 
You can't. Laptops don't have the tech built in. It can receive wifi signals, but it can't send a them out. ....edit unless you have either something attached or built in.

Just get a mobile hotspot. It's a device that you carry with you that will allow laptops and phones to connect. You will need to pay a monthly plan though.

I'm pretty sure that can't be done. I have Macbooks, and they don't have internet sharing to USB, and I presume it's the same for PC(Windows) laptops.

How is your laptop connected to the internet? If it's via an Ethernet cable, you could enable internet sharing via WiFi(the laptop becomes a WiFi hotspot), and connect the phone that way. I was doing this for a while in a place I was staying that only had Ethernet, and no WiFi.

But if the laptop is connected via WiFi, then just connect your phone to the same WiFi network?
