Share my PC's Internet connection to my iPad using Bluetooth / Интернет с ПК на iPad по Bluetooth

I have a desktop computer that has a Bluetooth internal adapter. It has an Internet cable.


I would like to use this connection on my iPad.


I know it works with an iPhone or, as I have found online, with a MacBook.


But how can a Windows computer be switched from the Bluetooth PAN (Pesonal Area Network) cliento to a PAN server?


Nothing I have done, the iPad has never shown the tethered icon. When the cellular is off, the iPad has no connection. Supposedly, the Bluetooth system is still working in the normal direction: iPad => Computer. What I need, is to switch it backwards: Computer => iPad.


Is it possible? If yes, please give me an idea how to do this.

Есть настольный компьютер, у него есть встроенный Bluetooth и проводной Интернет.


Хотелось бы подключить iPad к этому соединению.


Я знаю, что это (брать Интернет) возможно с iPhone и, насколько я читал в Интернете, с MacBook.

Но можно ли сделать это с Windows-компьютером?


Если да, то как? Заранее благодарен. С уважением, Арсений.

iPad Air-OTHER, iOS 7.0.3, 128Gb Cellular

Though your question asks about PC, your profile doesn;t say what computer OS you are using, but I can tell you how to do it on Mac. The process might be similar on Windows.


  • Pair your iPad to your Mac using these instructions.
  • Share your Internet connection on your Mac.
    • Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing.
    • Select Internet Sharing.
    • Choose the Internet connection you want to share from the “Share your connection from” pop-up menu. For example, if you’re connected to the Internet over Ethernet, choose Ethernet.
    • Select Bluetooth for how you want to share your Internet connection in the “To computers using” list.
