Can I work remotely in US with a F2 Visa?
No. The same question was asked on https://expatriates.stackexchange.com/questions/572/living-in-the-us-on-an-f2-visa-and-working-remotely-for-a-canadian-company, where you'll find other options.

As F-2, you cannot work at all. If your spouse gets J-1 status instead of F-1, then you could apply for work permission as J-2. Getting J-1 instead of F-1 depends on the program and university, and is often an option for PhD programs at large universities.
