How to tether an Android phone using a networking cable

Hi!

Here I am trying to help you solve this problem.

Firstly, you should try connect your phone straight with USB port. This depends on your phone condition.

If the above solution doesn't work, simply connect Ethernet cable with Ethernet adapter which is already connect with OTG cable and USB.

Otherwise, there are two more methods to tether your android phone. You can either use wifi tethering or bluetooth tethering.

Wifi tethering = this method is slower than USB tethering. By using this method, you can connect more than one device.

Bluetooth tethering = this is the slowest method. You only can tether with one another at a time. But, it also has one advantage as it only drains very few of your battery.

There you go. Hopefully your problem can be solved.
