Step 1: First, download and install NetShare-no-root-tethering from the Google Play Store on the Android device from which you want to share Internet.
Step 2: On the landing page, click “Share WiFi Hotspot Network”, and connect other devices to the hotspot created by this app using the “Network Name” and “Network Password” given. Now both of the devices are on the same network.
Step 3: In your Windows operating system, navigate to the WiFi icon on the tray bar and connect to the network this app made. Now you need to change the network proxy settings. To do this, open Control Panel and go to “Internet Options.”
Step 4: Go to “Connections” –> “Lan Settings” in the “Internet Properties” window. In Lan Settings, just enter the “NetShare” app’s IP address and port. Click OK.
All Done!!!
2. Share To Android Device:
If you want to connect another Android device to the Internet, all you have to do is install the “NetShare-no-root-tethering” app. Now, use the Network Name and Password to connect this device to the Hotspot Network that the provider set up. Once you’re done, you can just open this app on your Android device, and it will tell you that you’re “connected.” All Done.
NOTE: There are some limits on the free version of this app. After 10 minutes, it won’t work anymore. To use it again, you’ll have to create a Network Workgroup again, or you can buy it to get rid of this limit.
