5 Free Android Apps for internet Tethering
A lot of times we have data subscription on our mobile devices as we use them more often, but sometimes the need to quickly use our computers may arise or we may want to download games to our consoles or update them.
Tethering which maybe in form of USB tethering or wireless tethering/hotspot as many users know has always been the best way of handling this but a lot of network/ internet providers have found ways to block this feature from working.
But you know what they say, where there is a will then there is a way; and so i would be writing a list of some apps you can use for wireless tethering free.
1. PdaNet
When cellular networks started blocking tethering apps, PdaNet was one of the first targeted, but the popular tool from June Fabrics Tech is now back on the Google Play store.
PdaNet connects your computer to your cellular network, without having to root your cellphone, so it's easy to install for less tech-savvy Android users.
The app supports tethering over both USB and Bluetooth with zero latency, so if you're lucky enough to sport a 4G cellphone, your computer will be able to surf the net at the same speed.

2. ClockworkMod Tether
Android developer Koushik Dutta released the alpha version of ClockworkMod back in January, and has been steadily improving the USB tethering app since then.
As with PdaNet, ClockworkMod lets you tether without rooting your device or signing up for a tethering plan. To do so, users need to install accompanying software on their computers.
ClockworkMod is compatible with Mac, Linux and Windows computers.

3. WiFi Tether
WiFi Tether works by creating an adhoc pear-to-peer network for your devices, and gives users added functionality when they want more tethering control.
The app features widget support, 128-bit WEP as well as WPA/WPA 2 encryption, and the ability to allow and deny access to your network.
It's available for download on the Google Play store here
4. FoxFi
FoxFi lets you connect not only your phone and PC, but also your tablets and game consoles. The app supports connections from tablets like the Amazon Kindle or Barnes & Noble Nook, as well as your PS3, XBox and Wii.
However, users with older Android phones may be out of luck. FoxFi 's wireless feature doesn't work on the first Motorola Droid, Motorola Triumph, Samsung Admire, LG Revolution or older HTC phones. Users with those devices will need to connect their phones and PCs using Bluetooth mode instead.

5. EasyTether Lite
If you're looking to connect your Android phone to your computer with no hassles, EasyTether Lite is for you. Run the app on your phone, then follow the setup wizard and connect to your PC via USB to get started.
Although it's ease is a plus, EasyTether limits access to websites like Facebook or Gmail using httpssecurity. To unlock full functionality, including the abiliity to connect to gaming consoles, users will need to drop $9.99 for the full EasyTether app.

Now i hope we can tether our mobile data on other devices without hazzles.
