Surface Pro -> Windows Phone tethering


Recommended Posts

Didn't know I could do this so I thought I'd share for those that also may not know.

 

One of the biggest pains for me is the fact that my Surface Pro doesn't have LTE connectivity.  I'd like to be able to pick it up and check my email, etc.  I know I can tether my phone but it always felt like such a pain to take out my phone, start internet tethering and then connect the Surface.

 

Over the past week I noticed that I always had a "Nokia Lumia" hotspot appear in my list but I shrugged it off as a mistake that was there from some other time I must've connected.  How wrong I was.  Yesterday I decided to click on it (since it didn't seem to go away).  When I did, my phone turned its internet tethering on and my Surface connected to the internet!

 

Now I can have my phone anywhere on my person and by just connecting to the hotspot I have internet.  It has made the process so much simpler and, at least for me, it makes all the difference in the world.
