Hi guys, I try to figured out if it's possible to connect a 4G USB Dongle to have internet without Wifi.
I see a lot of you use the Huawei e8372 or E5573. My question is about using one of these (or something else cheaper) without Wifi, and directly through USB. Is it possible?
cheers

I don't know about your unit but should be no problem. Get mobile data SIM card from your provider and set connection as per modem instructions. Like your mobile phone. Ask your provider for details about plans and prices.

Sup guys is it possible to turn my fone into a WiFi adapter so I can connect to my home internet connection via pc my wifi adapter broke yesterday when I shut the door on it

Yes it is.
Menu> Settings> More> Portable hotspot & tethering
Here you can either choose to set your phone up as a WiFi hotspot so your PC can connect wirelessly to your phone and use it’s 3G for internet connection.
Or you can use USB tethering to achieve the same internet connection but using a cable instead of WiFi. Personally I’ve had more success with this one, as I have found the WiFi Hotspot function to be very hit-and-miss.
You may find that after prolonged inactivity on the connection, it stops working and you have to stop and then re-start USB tethering for it to work. Keep the data flowing though and it seems to work just fine. Obviously take into account your 3G data plan. If you are on a unlimited plan then you are laughing.
Don’t shut your phone in a door!
Lol not teathering via mobile network I'm talking about a pc WiFi dongle adapter which I use on my pc to connect to my home boardband so I can receive full speed connection I'l post a link when I get home with a screenshot so you understand a little better thanks anyway

ok this is what im trying to do but not sure if its possible see screenshot
Answer is No. Android does not allow ad-hoc connections.
HTC does allow you to use internet through usb connection but cant share that out over wifi.
Why not just connect ps3 directly to the router?

Woah! Yeah definitely misinterpreted what you meant!
Looks like you need to fish out your ethernet cable!

"Reverse USB tethering" no root (Wired internet on PC tethered to offline Tablet)
Hi all,
I've seen lots of tethering aps that let you share your mobile device's internet connection with a PC via USB.
I'm wondering if I can do the reverse. I'd like to share the wired connection of a PC with my offline Tablet via USB (no wifi available).
Can it be done without root?
I think it is only possible with a Ethernet to micro usb

Yes it can be done. You need an OTG cable, then a supported USB to Ethernet adapter. I will not elaborate any further, this has been discussed many times in numerous forums (there is a great thread in the Nexus 7 2012 version section about what USB to Ethernet works and what does not - mind you the Apple adapter does and you can eBay it brand new for like 5$).
There is currently a bug in the Nexus 7 2013, the adapter is seen properly, but DHCP fails, and I tried manual address assignment, but DNS resolution still gives me issues. You can either get a patch for it, or wait for Google to fix it.

I can confirm it works (the mentioned Reverse USB Tethering). I set it up on Fedora 18 but only with root.
I found a USB wifi dongle that could act as an access point and run it in access point mode on my PC so my tablet can connect with wifi. No USB cables to fool with .

Hi! I've written an app for Reverse Tethering that does not need a rooted device. I've opened a dedicated thread for the app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-reversetethering-noroot-t3316716
Hey everyone, I was just wondering if there's a way to take the Internet connection from a PC via usb, and then make a wifi Hotspot so I could share that connection to tablet, laptop, etc.
Thanks in advance!

I think that that setup won't work, why don't you buy usb wireless or router....it's cheap....
Hi,
Does anyone know if you can share mobile data via usb c ethernet? I have a router that has 2 wan ports and would like to set up the note 10 + 5g as a failover connection. I have the tmobile version. I plug it into my router and the activity lights light up, but no data is being received. THe option to turn on usb tethering is grayed out. Any assistance is appreciated.
Thank you
What type of router do you have?

I have a trendnet TEW-829DRU. I know it's overkill for a home network.

I dont believe it's overkill whatsoever. I had an asus router not too long ago. When I attatched it to the router and I turned on USB tether, it automatically detected that it was a modem. I was able to share my internet connection thru the router and broadcast the signal. As I understand it this is what your end goal is?
Yeah. Unfortunately the USB cannot be used to share a mobile connection. When I have the ethernet dongle plugged into the phone, usb tether stays greyed out. When I connect it to the WAN 2 port, the ethernet option stays greyed out. But I connect it to an open port the ethernet option becomes active and I can receive a data connection to surf on the phone.
As much as i know it's not possible to share internet via USB. If I'm wrong please let me know.
This will be possible soon: https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/...rives-in-latest-android-11-developer-preview/ although not sure if it will come to the Note 10+ and if so when.
Doesn't Settings>Connections>Mobile Hotspot and Tethering>USB tethering do the job?

Yeah but when you have a USB ethernet dongle USB tethering is greyed out.
What I did was to get one of these: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N5RCZQH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and use it in client mode. Works perfectly.
Hello,
I just installed a isudar px6 head unit on my car with android 10. I want to stop using my phone as a wifi hotspot. Is there any usb modem that works wired via usb?
I know that it's possible to use a MiFi router also, but i would prefer not to transfer my data via wifi.
Thanks in advance

Is it an MTCD/E?
mtcd(e)
???????
Anyone had success with this?
Just bought this guy.
Am also wondering if any of the modems work as "cell connections" instead of "wifi" connections.
Purpose, I have strong outside wifi signals. When I arrive home I do not want to disconnect from the hotspot wifi to home wifi every time i arrive to receive updates and stuff. Would prefer the modem to work as a modem not hotspot.
Thanks
