But there is no wifi in this apartment, just cable hookup

That article tells how to setup a Wi-Fi hotspot on your computer so you can connect your phone to it.

Yes, looks like article lets you use any internet source with windows10.

I read it and tried the Ethernet, but doesn't look like I can go that route. Wish I had some computer knowledge on this stuff. Probably easy to do.

Sorry guys, I just can't do it or at least figure it out. I have the new Android 11 phone. Maybe because it is Japanese model, I can't follow the instructions that are on the link since nothing shows up the same in them pictures.

Thanks for helping me out.

Maybe the modem will work, but I don't have a home phone/no phone connections here. The telephone company has to come in and install it . Something I m not going to bother with.

Any of you friends have teen age kids? They all seem to to know everything about cellphones! Maybe they could give advise

Interesting video on reverse tethering might be helpful -

wow that is way above my understanding, but thanks for hanging in there with me

Here's another 1 you might take a quick look at pics to see if they look at all like settings on your phone. It just says 'smartphone' so I don't know what version android they're showing

I have a flip 4 and dex cable to use my phone as a pc in a sense. They used to make usb-c cables for samsung dex ( desktop experience) which did have an rj45 jack. No guarantee all your apps will choose to use that adapter, but it has been around in a half-baked implementation for quite some time now.

To make it easy on yourself I’d pick up a fairly inexpensive wireless router. Should work seeing that you’re connected via a cat5.

Straight from Microsoft - sharing Window 10 internet to phone:

support.microsoft.com...&Windo wsVersion=Windows_10

ATS wouldn't allow the URL direct to Windows 10 instructions, but its easy to click on that tab from link above.

I guess if it's going to be possible without any added software or equipment, that's going to be it!

1) You don't want to use your PC for Wi-Fi on the phone. It will just slow down both .
2) Get a Wifi-Fi enabled router with hard wire also . Your router will have a place to connect the cable.
3) Connect the cable to your router and the phone via Wi_FI.
4) Done. Enjoy .

If you have access to visible, their monthly fee is $25usd for unlimited internet and hotspot. I generally use about 50 gigabytes a month on streaming alone and it keeps up, speed- wise.

I think solis may be an alternative too. Not a bad idea.
