Tethering lets you share the Internet connection from your BlackBerry Q10 with a computer. Please note that you'll be using data from your mobile service and charges may apply.

In this example, we've used a Windows® 7 computer.
1. Connect the BlackBerry Q10 to the computer using the USB cable.
2. Scroll left to access more apps.
3. Touch Settings.
4. Touch Network Connections.
5. Scroll to and touch Internet Tethering.
6. Touch Connect using.
7. Touch USB.
8. Touch the slider next to Internet Tethering.
9. The phone is now tethered.
10. On the computer, wait for the device drivers to install and then click Home network.
11. Wait while the computer automatically applies the settings and connects to the network.
12. Setup is complete. Click Close.
Note: in step 10, we've selected Home network because we know and trust both the BlackBerry Q10 and the computer.
