Applicable to: Sony Xperia XZ1, XZ2

Note

Tethering lets you share the Internet connection from your Sony smartphone with a computer. Please note that youʼll be using data from your mobile service and charges may apply.

In step 9, we selected “Home network” because we know and trust both the Sony smartphone and the computer.
