How-To: Create Your Own Wireless Network Without An ISP (Using Just An iPhone!)




This is a very useful trick that enables an individual to have internet access anywhere at all times. This was necessary for me, as I just moved into a new apartment, while I was waiting on an ISP to come out and install my equipment to set up my internet connection.

What you will need:

-- jailbroken iPhone
-- Laptop 
-- (optionally -- this device would strengthen the signal connection, ~$6 on eBay) USB WLAN dongle 

Steps:

1) Install tetherme (or any other similar program if this one doesn't work for you) onto your jailbroken iPhone. 
2) This app will allow you to either use USB tethering, that is, using your phone's internet connection in order to give your laptop internet access, or a personal wifi hotspot, with no need for USB connection. Simply check your desired option and it should work.
3) (optionally) Connect USB dongle to strengthen network speed and increase range.

NOTE: Depending on your laptop you may have to change some network settings additionally to get it properly working.
