While securing your wireless connection is as easy as entering password, it is often not the security mechanism that makes the wireless connection vulnerable. If you are sharing your security key with many other people (such as in the office environment), the chances of them compromising your wireless security is higher. Most people leak out the security key even without them knowing. However, there is an easy way for you to copy the wireless setting from one computer and apply the same settings to multiple computers without giving people access to the security key. The settings are configured automatically without installing anything.

I have written a tutorial on how to tether your iPhone last year to be able to share your internet connection with other devices. The article was a quick rundown of two applications (TetherMe and MyWi) that you can use although I have never gone deeper enough.
I was able to get hold of a new Verizon iPhone 4 which comes with a built-in app (Personal Hotspot) you can use to share your internet connection. Basically, Personal Hotspot will turn your iPhone into a router that will share your iPhone’s internet connection with your other devices within range. With this app, it is almost painless to tether as you don’t have to install new apps nor jailbreak your iPhone. Here’s how you do it:

By | November 1, 2010 |
Apple iPhone could be the most popular smart phone nowadays because of its sleek design, brand and unique features. However, it is not a perfect machine. The reason why Apple keeps on updating its version is the mere fact that over time, there are new features which are needed to be added.

Use your Android Phone as a Wireless Hotspot (Rooted Phones Only)
By | July 30, 2010 |
We have recently covered how to use your Android phone to access the internet on your computer. This process is known as tethering. By connecting your phone, via a USB cable, to your computer you are able to use the phone’s data connection to browse the web on your computer. In places where there aren’t any wireless hotspots, tethering is incredibly useful.
Another useful method of sharing your internet connection is by setting up your phone as a portable wireless hotspot. The phone essentially creates its own network which your computer(s) can then join. The advantage of this is that you do not need a cable and you can have multiple computers sharing your phone’s internet connection. If you have already upgraded to Froyo (Android 2.2), you should have the wireless hotspot baked into it. Otherwise, for those who have taken the plunge and rooted your device, here are two great apps that allow you to share your phone’s data connection.
