It may require you to have an additional Bluetooth radio accessory if you are using a desktop PC, but at least your wireless connection is as secure as it should be.Įditors' note: This is a review of the trial version of PdaNet for Android (64-bit Windows Installer). PdaNet for Android is a cheap and very handy way of providing an Internet connection to any PC. What's very important when it comes to this app is that it allows a wireless Internet connection in which only our Windows machine and phone are able to communicate, unlike Wi-Fi. While there was a slight reduction in overall data transfer speed, the amount is actually negligible enough for us to disregard this drawback. Once done, we tried testing the connection speed. PdaNet lets you tether your computer to your phones Internet connection using your USB cable, and its really simple to set up. I realize this option is still in beta for PdaNet, but had no troubles using it in Windows 8/8.1. I use my phones data plan as my main ISP, and after the upgrade Im no longer able to toggle the Wifi share option. Each option, when chosen, provides a step-by-step guide to help you complete the required setups. Hi there - I just completed my free upgrade to Windows 10.

You are just given two options, to enable USB tether or to enable Bluetooth DUN. When it comes to the interface, access to the PdaNet for Android app is almost instantaneous.

The version of the app discussed here is the one paired with a 64-bit Windows machine. PdaNet for Android is free to try but the full version will cost you $23.95. Allowing you to transmit Web-based data and content via Bluetooth, PdaNet for Android allows your PC to connect to the Internet using both the phone's standard radio and its Bluetooth radio.
