If your wireless service plan includes tethering, you can use your BlackBerry smartphone as a modem for your computer or laptop to give you access to the Internet. If you’re not sure about your plan, check with your service provider before you attempt the steps below.
Here’s an overview of how to set up usb internet tethering on Windows
Before we begin, you’ll need to have BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.1 installed on your PC; this program can be downloaded from http://www.blackberry.com/desktopsoftware.
1. Connect your BlackBerry smartphone to the computer using a USB cable.
2. Launch BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.1, select “Tools” followed by “Mobile Internet settings”.
3. Locate and choose the profile for your wireless service provider in the Profile drop-down list and select “OK”. If your wireless service provider is not listed and they have provided you with settings for Mobile Internet, select “Add” to create a custom profile.
4. In the bottom left corner of the BlackBerry Desktop Software, click “Mobile Internet” to start using Internet Tethering.
5. A pop-up screen may appear to indicate that additional charges might apply. Once connected, the bottom left corner of the BlackBerry Desktop Software screen will display the amount of time that has elapsed since connecting and the amount of data used within that time.
6. To disconnect your BlackBerry smartphone as a tethered modem, click the green Internet connection status bar at the bottom left corner which will display a “Disconnect” button.
