Share Android cell phone network connection over USB OTG to Wifi Android tablet How do I share my cell phone's network connection with a Wifi tablet? Specifically I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S6 and a Nexus 7.

I bought a USB OTG cable. Which end do I plug the USB into, and which end do I plug the micro USB into?

How do I share my cell phone connection with the Nexus 7? I didn't see a USB setting in either direction for sharing the connection.

Is rooting required?

I found this question and the first answer maybe shows a possible solution posted on xda.
For this you need root.

Download &amp; install a Terminal Emulator on your Android Tablet. Run the Emulator &amp; enter the following commands:
dhcpcd usb1
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
The Android Phone from which net connection is to be sourced must be connected via USB Cable &amp; on that phone enable USB Tether.
Now you can access internet on your Android Tablet using your Android Phone as a USB Modem!

I always use Bluetooth to share internet between phone and tablet. A friend of mine has a Nexus 7 too and no problems with Bluetooth. Maybe you can look for a solution to this issues
