have a mega 3000 and looking at hooking it up at the cottage. No internet access up there, so it will have to be done using my cell phone as a hot spot. I have tired a few different usb adapters but have not been able to get any of them to show up in the system tools. Can someone recommend a adapter that you can buy at bestbuy or similar that will work?

I think you need to download an app called a "wireless tether app" this may let you be able to do this.

I have the same situation and use my iphone as the hotspot. Uses next to no data. I believe you need a wifi adapter with a 5370 chipset. Just plug and play

If you are running the mega box as well, could you tell me the name of the adapter you are using?
