[Q] Use USB tethering and connect as LAN from another device possible?

OK so I have two android devices, a phone and a tablet. My tablet is the new NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet. I have a horrible old slow router, so gamestream doesn't work well. I was wondering if there was some way to use my phone as a router of sorts. My pc doesn't have wifi so I have to use USB tethering. Is there any way to use USB tethering on my phone, and connect to a LAN network via wifi on my table typo to my pc for game streaming, just like through a regular wifi modem? My phone is a Galaxy s4 on AT&T. Both android devices are rooted with stock roms.

Any way to enable ethernet on S6 EDGE? (SM-G925F)

Hello , I have read in another topic that someone tried it but all apps including browser didn't recognize it (they needed a wifi or data connection to work) , even though he was able to ping outside (internet or external) ips via a local console (same thing happened with me following his guide , I can't post links yet , you can find his post easily by googling a little).
Is there any another way to enable it and working properly? I thought about that my phone has not ethernet drivers installed , so can someone send here ethernet drivers from a samsung galaxy tab tablet for example? Will this "hack" work? I mean , if I transfer galaxy tab ethernet files-drivers-options to another galaxy smartphone?
Or if the above sounds kinda silly and doesn't work, is there a custom rom or hack including ethernet support to try and flash? I don't want to change my OS or kernel , I just want to add ethernet support.
I did accept that the phone doesn't also support VIDEO OUT via MHL-HDMI , so I purchased a "Actiontec SBWD60A01 ScreenBeam Mini 2 Wireless Display Receiver HDMI Full HD" for this work , but I cannot accept that this super smartphone cannot work with ethernet ( I already own a female-ethernet-to-usb adapter) , I don't want to buy a tablet just for ethernet!!! This would be fool to do if I just bought one and after that discovered that s6 edge had really ethernet support via a way.

Wireless Keyboard Sharing (using official keyboard cover) without using wifi

Hi all,
is there a way to share the official keyboard between the tab s7+ and the s21 (using the wireless keyobard sharing feature) without being connected to a wifi network.
I was wondering because something i have to work on differents locations where i am not connected to wifi, but only on 5G.
Or maybe is there a way of doing this by using Bluetooth ?
I tried this but i get an error message.
Is there a way to be connected on bluetooth without sharing internet thru bluetooth? (as my tab and my phone have 5g sim's)
thanks all

By sharing, do you mean connecting a keyboard to both your Tab S7+ and S21?
You can via Bluetooth, but you can only connect to them one at a time. You can't connect a wireless keyboard to your tablet and phone simultaneously.
Wireless keyboards and mice all use BT. I have never seen any that use WiFi to connect to devices. At least not 802.11. There are plenty that use 2.4GHz, but they come with an USB wireless adapter.
Hi sorry i was not very precise. (i am going to edit my post)
I was talking about sharing the official keyboard of the tab s7 using the Wireless Keyboard Sharing feature that allow the keyboard to switch beetwen both devices.
This works very well but only when both devices are connected to the same wifi network.
this feature is presented here :
Galaxy Tab S7 & S7+ Users Can Enjoy More Streamlined Galaxy Ecosystem Experiences with One UI 3 Update
Samsung’s latest tablet devices, Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+, are packed with a versatile range of productivity and connectivity features to help users connect
news.samsung.com
The official keyboard is not 'auto powered" so it cannont work as a standalone keyboard for the s21
Ah. Thanks for clarifying. This is news to me. I didn't know this was a thing. I use Microsoft Launcher on both my Tab S7 and Note 10+, so I'm not sure if will work.
I found this on Reddit. How to do it is on the comments.

"
You can enable this feature under Settings -> General Management -> Physical Keyboard -> Wireless Keyboard Sharing. This makes your Tab show up as a generic bluetooth keyboard/trackpad when other devices search for it. Then, on the other PC you can connect to the Tab S7 via bluetooth and that made it work for me.
(You need to have the book cover keyboard connected to your Tab during all this)"
Update. It uses BT. I just tried it and it worked with my Note 10+. Evidently, it'll work with any BT enabled device. I'm going to try it with my Surface Pro 6 tomorrow. I'll let you know whether or not it worked.
@DJCarlos It uses BT. I successfully connected my Tab S7 to my Microsoft Surface Pro 6. I am typing this on my Tab S7, but in my Edge browser on my Surface Pro 6. I am still not completely sold on its practicality though.
Edit: It does not need to be connected to WiFi for this to work. I connected my Note 10+ to my S7 via BT and typing this on my phone using my S7's keyboard. Neither my phone, nor my Tab S7 are connected to WiFi, nor is my phone's Hotspot is enabled.
