How to use my laptop as my internet source for my iphone 4?

So I'm going to visit my grandmother for 2 weeks and she doesn't have Wi-Fi so I plug my laptop into her internet connections in her house. Is there a way to get the internet access from my laptop to my iphone without a charge of any kind?

Easier for you to bring a small "portable" router instead.

  • Materialism is the source of our happiness? I'm appalled by how successfully companies are brainwashing the public to buy their products.
