How to Use My Moto Q As a Modem
Tethering (also called Internet sharing) is the process of using a mobile phone as a modem on a computer or laptop. Phones that offer the tethering feature, such as the Moto Q, allow you to access the Internet even when there are no traditional connections available. The phone powers the Internet connection through its mobile Internet access, which is available nearly anywhere you have mobile service.
