i wish to get an internet signal to update my macbook pro and sony tv whilst traveling abroad and using my i phone 5s (4g network) how can i do this i,ve tried a usb adaptor but it only supplies ethernet connection(via usb) possible solution maybe by using phone access(wi fi-usb) to airport module and then supply my macbook pro and tv with internet signal via wi fi will this be possible
Use your phone as wifi hotspot.
Share your Internet connection with Personal Hotspot - Apple Support
Connect to it from the laptop or the TV.
But using 4G for large downloads is very expensive.. be aware of your roaming charges for 4G can be massive.
thanks for that but have tried and it supplies wi fi internet to macbook pro no problem the problem arises getting internet to sony tv which will not detect wi fi so have purchased a usb to ethernet connector(apple) via macbook connection, ethernet connection works fine to network but will not supply internet as there is some detail about ip address through connector not sure what
can i supply wi fi to airport via phone wifi/usb and then connect directly to airport via ethernet cable to supply internet enabled cable to tv and network for photos etc from phone or macbook
Plug the phone in by USB lightening cable and setup the Mac as ICS..
Plug the TV into the Mac by ethernet.. but it is hugely better easier and smarter to buy a standard 3G/4G hotspot which just about any phone company around the world will supply for very reasonable prices.. and it will work with anything.. the problem with Apple is compatibility with rest of the world products.
wi fi supply via phone supply
