<title>Connect to mobile broadband</title>
<p>You can set up a connection to a cellular (3G) network with your
computer’s built-in 3G modem, your mobile phone, or an Internet stick.</p>
<note style="tip">
<p>Most phones have a setting called <link xref="net-tethering">USB
tethering</link> that requires no setup on the computer, and is generally the
better method to connect to the cellular network.</p>
</note>

Internet stick to a USB port on your computer.</p>
