Can you please clarify if you want to use your mobile phone to provide an
internet connection to your laptop?
Assuming the answer is yes, you should only need to do the following:
- Configure your mobile to enable "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot"
- Configure your laptop to connect to your mobile as if it's a standard
WiFi hotspot/access point.
There should be no need to adjust anything else on your laptop.
The website you followed describes how to do it with a USB-connection.
That works differently then when using WIFI.
