I have Galaxy tab 2 10.1 wifi only, and I'm in dire need of 3g access. Is it possible somehow to plug and use an USB 3g modem? I've read about something called ppwidget that allows that but it was on 7.0.

Same here. My mom bought me for X-Mass Tab 2 10.1 Wifi (P5110) and she never thought I would need 3G. But I need 3G and I'm unhappy with tethering signal from my SII cause it needs a lot of juice so it's not worth it.
PPP Widget
You can try with this fantastic app from market "PPP WIDGET", search on play store coz i'm still not enabled to attach links... sorry!

Heard about the widget couple of times BUT what kind of USB modem would work with Tab 2 7 or 10.1?

i'm a noobe and it was easy. i have my inc rooted and downloaded wireless tether for root users. i set up my ssid, set up the encrition. On the tab i diabled 3G, turned on wireless and saw my network id. very simple.

Will the wifi tether from code.google work on the tab itself. Currently im using my EVO to tether but would be great to tether from my tab itself.
Hi guys, sorry for my bad english, I'm italian
surfing to the net you have ever seen "usb to ethernet adapters" for two GalaxyTab 10.1?
there's a wifi on the gtab2 which is same like the ethernet adapter
Do not think will work (if found) as may need special android drivers
Wifi is more than enough

Btw, there are USB Wifi (which can act like software Access Point), so your USB wifi can turn into hotspot and share internet connection from PC to mobile devices.

It cost about $10 - $20 (depend on the brand)
HI,
I have a SGS3 phone. I can use my SGS3 3G connection on my laptop when there's no WIFI at my location.
Is it possible to do the same with the tablet? Cause the model I have is the WIFI only but would love to use my phone 3G connection.....
thnx
Why can't you do the same thing with the Note? It's called tethering. You enable wifi tethering on your phone first, then connect your Note to your phone. Easy peasy.

So "WIFI Tethering" will use 3G Data Connection of the phone?? Cause as I said, it's in the situation where there's no WIFI.

Yes
Beamed from my CM10.1 Galaxy Nexus
Just be aware that tethering to your phone will eat your phones battery power very quickly...
yeah I thought so ....... I have a 12000ma portable charger, that should circumvent that issue
Mate, from your post, it says you have the N8000 model. This is the 3g model. The wifi only are , worldwide, the N8010 and the , America, N8013.
There's also the Turkish N8005 but that has 3G internet.
There's the 4g LTE N8020 too..
If indeed you have an N8000 then you can slap a normal sized sim in it and use it for 3G and phone calls...
No it's my mistake, it's the N8010 that I have

Actually, sharing the connection using bluetooth is much more energy efficient and in my opinion better and easier.
Or would it be possible to connect with the phone by USB using an OTG adapter?

How do you share internet access through BT?
I like your USB idea indeed, didn't think of it, yes I do have the adaptor.

Using another Android 4.. phone the procedure is as follows:
Open the settings and share internet (same place as share by wifi), click the share by bluetooth button.
Open the bluetooth settings on your tablet. The easiest way to do this is to hold the bluetooth symbol in the system bar a couple of seconds, the same button that can turn bluetooth on and off.
Pair your devices, the first time you might have to make sure that one are in pairing mode (or visible might be a better name). Click the setting button for your phone in the tablet bluetooth menu. There's a setting called something like "use this devices Internet connection", click that.
Done! There might be some quick fix app that gives you widgets to turn it on and off instantly.
It won't hurt to try, when you connect it to your computer as far as I remember you get the option of sharing the phones Internet connection. Maybe it's just as simple when connecting to the tablet. Else, there might be an app for that as the kids are saying nowdays

Hello
I have the wifi model of the note 10.1 and i really would like to connect to my phones wifi hot spot... But samsung note 10.1 can't connect to an ad-hoc network.

If someone could provide a modified wpa-supplicant file that support s ad-hoc wifi spe cificly for the note 10.1 ii would really appreciate it
My GT-N8010 is running stock 4.1.2 and connects fine to my SGS3 when that is set to be a wifi hotspot.

Thanks for your reply, but i think nokia phones are only capable of setting up an adhoc hot spot unlike android and apple
So first, I have a prepaid SIM Card from Pagepluscelluar. I just got a new Verizon Galaxy Note 5, coming from my Galaxy S5 that had a custom ROM. On my S5, I was able to just turn on the Hotspot. But as I've come to understand, there's no root or unlocked bootloader for the Note 5. Is there any wifi tethering apps or anything I can possibly do to get it working? I'm just trying to play on my Xbox with my friends again. :\
Nevermind! I figured out a way.
How did you do out?!?!?!

Well, I only use the Hotspot for my Xbox One. I bought PDANet for USB tethering on my laptop. Then, I bought Connectify Hotspot which allowed me to turn my laptop into a Hotspot using the PDANet connection.
