Tethering the LG Optimus 2X P990

[Guest h14kly]

I am thinking of buying the

LG Optimus 2X P990

and i am wondering what app or apps are needed to tether the internet from this phone to a laptop, as i am not very techy minded so any help would be most appreciated here people, thankyou in advance for help...

all software needed for tethering is built-in.

settings>wireless and networks>hotspot and tethering.

easiest is hotspot, you can set a password, and then use your phone the same way you use a wireless router.

wired tethering may require you to install additional drivers on your laptop.

I've found the app "Open Garden Wi-Fi" to work better than the built in software, very easy to use, too.

The build in tethering function is even a very nice thing. I used it this week for the first time and it was great. I think the wired using is the better version if you want to save your batterie life. And it feeled a little bit faster
