The key piece to setup a wireless home network is the wireless router. Once you have the router set up to your internet connection all you have to do is let the computer connect to the wireless router and authenticate.

Now what if you want to use your mobile phone’s internet connection to power your network? And what if, instead of using a physical wireless router, you decided a freeware application called Mobile Wi-Fi Router would do just fine.

Now remember if you and your phone leave the house you will not be able to remotely connect to your home computers. You are essentially taking the connection out with you.
