To turn on usb tethering, no "tethering" in Connections Tab

[Kevin Kuei]

Hi all,

My tablet model number is "SM-P600", I guessed it is Note 10.1 2014 edition.
I would like to turn on "USB tethering" function.

I go to Settings -> Connections tab, but I didn't see the "Tethering and mobile HotSpot".
I checked the software update and it said my software is already the latest.

Can anybody tell me how to fix it? or any other solution to turn on usb tethering function?
Any comment will be appreciated!!

Welcome to Android Central!

Is your Tablet the WiFi only model or the Cellular model?

Assuming it's cellular (tethering to a tablet that's wifi only would be useless, since the tethered device can connect to the same router the tablet is connected to), the carrier may have turned tethering off in their model. Most carriers won't allow tethering, even if the device is capable of it, unless you pay for a tethering account. (They drop the data at their end, before it gets to the internet, if it comes from a tethered device.)
