Making Android phone hotspot, need help
Have 8.1 on PC and an Android phone LG version 5.0 can not figure out how to use phone as a hotspot. Used to have Pdanet and used with an older phone. Willing to try as USB hookup or Bluetooth...

I use Easy Tether. In fact, I'm using it right now. It can also be found in the Amazon Store and Google Play. The lite version is free - you can use that to test it out.
You install SW on both your phone and computer. Once you have it up and running, you can just leave it on on your phone and reconnect with your computer. There is an issue with Samsung phones (I have one) where you need to download a special driver - you can find it on their website.
I've used Easy Tether for over two years with hardly any problems and usually the DL/UL speeds are better than wifi.
Edit to add: it uses USB or bluetooth to connect the computer to the phone.
