Can I connect my PC to our home Wi-Fi using my iPhone or ipad?

I want to connect my XP desktop computer to the Internet, we have a Wi-Fi broadband at home and I use my iPhone and ipad to connect to the Internet. Anyway, the pc itself has not Wi-Fi connector, so it must be wired.

I was thinking, how can I get my computer to access our home Wi-Fi by using my iPhone as the connector via USB? I do not want to use the phones 3G or mobile connection however, so tethering to 3G is not an option. I want to specifically use my home broadbands Wi-Fi.

Yes you can.

Sure, you can use Wi-Fi connection.

  • Why won't my iphone connect to our home Wi-Fi? Other devices and even my mac can connect to our home Wi-Fi just fine. Seems like everything but my iphone 5 just won't connect. After i press the network, it selects and does the check icon for a split second and disconnects again. Doesn't even allow me to enter the password first.
  • Why is our data usage plan be using up? I'm receiving texts that says my data usage plan is 75% used up yesterday and then 90% used up today. I'm confused because I'm the only one listed on the plan and I'm not using Safari on my iPhone? What else could consume my data plan? (Yes, I called my provider, Verizon, and they didn't know either.)
  • Why can't my desktop connect to our Wi-Fi at home but does connect to moble hotspot? Suddenly my desktop won't connect to our Wi-Fi. All other devices such as laptops, phones and tablets connects just fine. I tried connecting it to my iphone's hotspot and it works. I tried to unistall and reinstall the wireless adapter but still won't work. I also tried to reboot the router and even tried to change the channel but still failed to make it work. Do you have any other way to make it work? I have windows 7 on my desktop.
  • One laptop can connect to our home Wi-Fi network but no other devices can connect? We recently set up a wireless internet connection in our house. One laptop can connect to it (the one I'm currently on) but no other devices can connect to it. It says our "Network Security Key" is mismatched. I have tried typing in all the different codes on both the router and modem on both our second laptop and an iPhone 5. How can I fix this?
