    Good explanation. I'm working with a French version of Windows 10. I'm tethering via a USB cable and nevertheless see a message that says something like: Do you want other computers on your network to see your connection?
    Now
    I'm not sure if I understand what "my network" is and I don't see why other computers would be on it. I'm guessing that I could have a local network with my computer on it, but that is not the case and I'm assuming that the computer knows if I have a network. So why the question?

    What if I use USB tethering for a longer period? Does it affect the life span of my phone battery?

    • @BestBuy
      @BestBuy  2 года назад +1

      Battery use may depend on the local cellular signal strength, the power output of the laptop's USB ports, and the power requirements of the phone. For example, if you have a weak local cell signal, your phone may need to use more power to boost the antenna output which could require more power (from the battery) than the USB power might provide.

    • @BestBuy
      @BestBuy  Год назад

      The USB cable will vary depending on the type of phone you have. However, it will generally be the same type of USB cable that you use to charge with. The end that plugs into your laptop will typically be a standard USB-A end that you're likely familiar from most cables. However, if you're still not sure, feel free to bring your phone and laptop into any local Best Buy and our Mobile Experts or Geek Squad Agents will be happy to help you find the correct cable to connect to your PC.

    • @BestBuy

      This setting may vary depending on the phone manufacturer and operating system, but can typically be accessed by opening your phone's Settings app, then tapping Network, then Internet, and unchecking the Data Saver option.

    Why does USB tethering only work on Windows, and for example not Linux (like the Steam Deck wil run)?

    • @BestBuy
      @BestBuy  2 года назад +2

      Internet access via USB tethering normally requires software support to work. Many Linux distros offer that support but may require manual setup for that virtual network adapter.
