What is USB
tethering?
You can share your phone’s mobile data with
another device, like your laptop,
through tethering. It makes your laptop be
able to connect to the Internet when there’s
no network connection. There are three
types of tethering: USB tethering, Wi-Fi
tethering, Bluetooth tethering.

USB tethering has the fastest speed among

the three ones. It requires a USB cable to
connect your laptop with your phone. But at
the same time, it makes your phone suck
power from your laptop’s USB port instead of
draining.

Is it free to use USB

tethering?
Whether it will cost your money or not, it
depends on your carrier. In the US, most
carriers do charge. You can consult your
carrier’s website for further information.

If you use a third-party tethering app, it’s

possible to be free to use USB tethering. But
even that, sometimes your carrier can still
detect your tethering. Then you might have
to pay.

How do I fix USB

When the USB tethering stops working on
your Windows 10, probably the USB
tethering driver on your computer is
corrupted, old or missing. Replacing the
driver with the built-in one on your Windows
10 manually, or updating your USB tethering
driver via Driver Easy automatically, these
two methods can always help you solve the
problem.

the drivers manually, or you don’t have the
time or patience, we highly recommend you
to use Driver Easy to help you solve the
