Oh. Hang on. Are you (and Jeff) suggesting that, rather than my computers Wi-Fi function connecting to my phoneline Modem, it should connect, via Wi-Fi, to my mobile-phone then make use of its Internet function. I hadn't considered that capability .... I figure if I had my mobile-phone plugged into a USB socket (re-charging the phone battery), my computer, having no other option (because I had turned off its Wi-Fi system), would use the phone's Wi-Fi. Something to think about. Thank you. And, if my Plan includes a GB of data, as knuttle says his does, I might be right until the new "Internet Month" starts in about three weeks. > > Other more costly alternatives would be a 4G/5G router that works in the > same way as your normal router but uses mobile network instead of land > line. > > Then if you happen to have the right type of Asus router, they can > support tethering, you just connect the phone to the USB port and do > some config changes... > Example: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1050074/ > Unfortunately, because of the speed-throttling, I can't see that web-page. ;-( -- Daniel70
