In offices or even at home, to have internet on all computers, the most convenient thing is to buy a wifi router that distributes the connection to all computers and creates an internal wireless network.
If instead there is no wifi connection, if the home line goes away for some reason and the internet does not work, if there is not even a way to connect to the modem via cable, then the only way to connect to the internet from the PC is to use a smartphone and its data connection.
In fact, from a smartphone it is possible to share the internet connection so that the PC sees a new wifi network to connect to.
In this way, any other computer or tablet can connect to the internet using the phone's subscription data plan.
