INTRODUCTION
Have you ever wondered how to control your laptop with your phone? Imagine being able to use your phone as a remote control, a mouse, a keyboard, or even a gamepad for your laptop. Sounds cool, right? Well, it is possible, and in this article, we will show you how to do it.
There are different ways to connect your phone and your laptop, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Infrared, or cable. However, not all of them are equally convenient or compatible. The most important thing is that both devices have to be on the same network, otherwise they won’t be able to communicate with each other.
To control a PC with a phone, you need to establish a connection between them through Wifi, Bluetooth, Infrared, or cable. Both devices (the PC and the phone) have to be on the same network for this to work. This article is not about PCs in general, as most desktops need a router, an external wifi adapter, or a bluetooth card to connect with a phone. There will be another article on how to control any PC with a phone for those who have desktop/tower machines. This article is only for laptops, as most of the newer laptops have a built-in wifi network adapter that can connect to wireless networks. Desktops, on the other hand, need an external Wifi adapter to connect to a router or a mobile hotspot.
So, if you are ready to learn how to control your laptop with your phone, keep reading and follow the steps below.
