Hello there,

I built my first gaming pc a couple of days ago after my gaming laptop broke.

I always used to connect my iPhone to my laptop via USB in order to use my phones connection since it ha 5G, but with this new built PC i'm unable to do this since i can't even use wifi connection...

My PC simply won't detect my phone and i tried to update my network adapters but somehow i can't do that either.. my ONLY options is ETHERNET connection, but my country has really BAD internet quality.. i need help, please...

PC motherboard if it might help..

MSI B550 GAMING PLUS

    You should read his question before answering. Do you understand what USB is ? Nobody mentioned anything about wireless. This is a usb WIRED connection that uses your phone’s charger cable to provide data from your mobile device THROUGH A WIRED THAT CONNECTS TO YOUR USB PORT….I’m starting to think this is just AI answering these questions. Here. Google Universal Serial Bus, and usb tethered connections.

    Hi, Crazy.David99. I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem, and I hope I can assist you to find a satisfactory solution.

    Unfortunately your motherboard does not have a wireless network, so it is not possible to share the internet from your cell phone to your computer via ethernet.

    The most viable option would be to acquire a usb wireless network card
