OS X Yosemite: Set up a Bluetooth Internet connection
If you have Bluetooth installed on your Mac, or an external Bluetooth adapter, you can use your mobile phone to connect your Mac to the Internet. You need a Bluetooth enabled phone, and a wireless service provider that supports this feature.
First, you need to set up Bluetooth service in Network preferences.
-
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Network.
-
Select Bluetooth DUN in the network connection services list.
If Bluetooth DUN isn’t in the list, and you’re sure you have Bluetooth installed on your computer (or are using an external Bluetooth adapter), click Add
at the bottom of the services list, click the Interface pop-up menu, then choose Bluetooth DUN. -
Enter the information you received from your wireless service provider. This information usually includes an access phone number and an account name and password.
-
Click Advanced, then click Modem. Click the Vendor pop-up menu, then choose your phone’s manufacturer. Click the Model pop-up menu, then choose your phone.
-
Enter any other information you were given in the DNS, WINS, Proxies, or PPP panes of the Advanced settings. When you’re finished, click OK.
-
Click Connect.
You need to connect your computer to your phone before you can use your computer to connect to the Internet. Choose your phone in the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar, then choose Connect. Follow the onscreen instructions to connect to your phone.
