Lumia 920 as modem ?

How to use Lumia 920 with USB-cable or Bluetooth as modem for laptop ? I used my E7 as modem with USB cable before I bought Lumia 920.

Re: Lumia 920 as modem ?

The E7 is a Symbian phone while the Lumia's are Windows based, so they are totally different. 

 

I know for a fact you can't use the Lumia 800 as a USB modem and as far as I know, it is the same with the Lumia 920. However, internet sharing using wifi hotspot is built in to the windows phones so sharing your internet connection is even easier now. I am sure your laptop has wifi. Only thing you have to check is that your network supports tethering. Not all networks do unfortunately

Re: Lumia 920 as modem ?

Anyone aware of actual capabilities to use the Lumia 920

 as a modem via USB? 

 

I need data capabilities at several locations that have technology in place preventing tethering through hotspots

The 920 has no such support, but you can always request such a feature to be included in future for Windows Phone 8 by visiting the link here:

Re: Lumia 920 as modem ?

You cannot talk and use Wifi Internet sharing.  On the N9 and Symbian phones I could.  Also Bluetooth.

Most areas in Southern California I get about the speed on my 700 as the LTE (5MB).  Some places I get 15-20Mb on LTE but that is rare.  The 700 is not an ATT smart phone, so the plan is inexpensive.

I ordered another 700 and will likely take my 820 back next week.

 

FWIW I have/had: two 920s, two 820s, three 700s, 1 N9, C6, N8, E71, E75 and E7

In the settings menu go to Internet Sharing option, Move On, then appears the name of the connection and becomes a wireless moden from the laptop can be used as a Wi-fi, a code that indicates you must enter as password from the laptop
