Employing a mobile device operating on the Android platform to provide a wireless internet connection to another device, typically a computer, is the core function discussed. This process effectively turns the phone into a receiver and transmitter of Wi-Fi signals for the secondary device. A practical application arises when a desktop computer lacks built-in Wi-Fi capabilities or when its internal adapter malfunctions.
This method presents a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a dedicated Wi-Fi adapter. It leverages existing technology and provides internet connectivity to devices in situations where a traditional network connection is unavailable or impractical. This capability has become increasingly significant as reliance on wireless internet access grows and the need for portable solutions expands.
