    OP isn't asking this. He doesn't want to share his mobile data. But, he wants to share his Wi-Fi internet. – Android Quesito Oct 3 '12 at 18:09

Without using extra software or rooting your phone (which I am not fully educated about, and could not advise you how to do with with root), there are not many options. I would try either of these options:

You asked to share your device's WiFi connection with your computer. To share this you could do it in one of two ways:

  1. Bluetooth - You can tether the WiFi connection to your computer via Bluetooth, which can be found under your device's network settings menu.


  1. USB Cable - You can also share the WiFi connection with your computer via a USB cable, which will make your computer think your device is a USB Wireless adapter and connect to the internet in this way.

Due to the Android Software limitations, your device will be unable to share a WiFi connection with another device using the same WiFi device (in your phone). It cannot both connect to one device, and host a network for another using the same 'network card', without some advanced software. Using root, you may be able to find an application that allows you to do the above, or you could use an OTG cable to connect a secondary WiFi adapter to your device which means your device will have access to more than one adapter and a software alternative may be more easily found (if there are hardware limitations in place).

Good luck!
