Hey I was wondering if there is any way to share my iPhone's wifi connection to my desktop computer. I do not want to use my cellular data, but my wifi connection only. I would prefer to not jailbreak my phone but if there is a app on cydia then let me know. Thanks.

EDIT: My dad turns off my computer's internet access with parental controls, but my phone has wifi so I can't connect to wifi on my computer, and need my phone.

Presumably you have a wireless router to which your iPhone is connected?
In that case, you just need to connect your PC to that same router.
If you want to connect your PC to the router wirelessly, you'll have to install a wireless USB adapter or a PCI one.

Hello Brian23OG!

Do you know what your dad added to the settings of the router as parental control?

Did he block your PC from connecting to the router wirelessly? Did he unplug your Ethernet cable? What did he do?

Because, from what I understand, your iPhone can still connect to the router perfectly via Wi-Fi, but your computer can't?

Please clarify, including how your PC is connected to the router!

I've just seen your edit. That changes the ball game for us. We won't help you to circumvent restrictions put in place by your parents. End of story.
