Don't have WiFi network?

Some Android devices can be used as a portable modem in that you can hook it up to your PC via USB or tethering so you can use it as a Wi-Fi hub. After you have connected your computer to the WiFi hub you can use AirDroid to manage and control your Android device. 

Warning: Using your Android phone as a WiFi hub enables your computer to use your phone's data service, so please make sure you have an affordable data plan.
