How to Tether to an XBox

Setting up a viable Internet connection on your Xbox enables you to play with friends all over the world. One way you can get your Xbox online is by tethering your smartphone or tablet to the Xbox. Doing so shares your phone or tablet's cellular data connection, enabling the Xbox to access the Internet as if it were connected to a wireless router. This process is called tethering, and it's done by setting up a wireless hot spot on your mobile device and then accessing that hot spot from the Xbox. How you go about doing this varies slightly depending on the operating system used on your mobile device.
