I'm interested in knowing which of the HTC devices has the best Wireless Transmit power.
And possibly if any one knows, some actual dBm figures on the power?
Has anyone had any experience in connecting to any high powered wireless networks? (eg. Wireless Community Networks)
Thanks
Aaron.

I'm fairly pessimistic about there being a way to accomplish this (I’ve been searching and seen nothing) but I thought I’d ask anyway. Is there any way to utilize a usb Ethernet adapter directly with a WM6 device. When I travel many of the places I stay will offer free internet, but it’s only wired not WiFi.
Unless you device has a usb host mode, then no. Though linksys makes a pretty small travel router that would work.
My router, the D-link DIR-655 has a USB port that you can plug 3G adapters into. I just wanted to share the idea in case some programmer wanted to try and develop a program to make it possible to plug HTC devices into the routers that have this feature. That way it would be possible to share a 3G connection from HTC devices with routers that have USB ports.
Thanks
Can it be done?
I travel a lot and use my laptop to get the ethernet IP address from my hotel room in order to manually configure my xbox 360's network settings. (I have an older Xbox 360 without wireless).
Since the hotel ip addresses are different for the ethernet connection than the wireless ip's, how can I figure out the ethernet IP using the A500?
The only thing that I can think of is to carry a small wireless router around. As a bonus it would be handy for the hotel that has sporadic wireless coverage.
I have no idea if an ethernet usb dongle stabbed into the A500s side would work.
Good luck.
Yeah. I have been looking into getting a wireless adapter for the 360 but they seem to be very device specific for Microsoft. I did see something that transmits an ethernet signal across your wall's electrical lines. It was about $60 for that kit and the reviews indicated good speeds.
If I had that though, I would still need to figure out the ethernet IP settings somehow. I am trying to figure out a way to leave my laptop at home when I travel now that I have my tab.
Get a cheap router than can run dd-wrt router firmware and set it up an ethernet bridge. Works like a charm for the x-box (or anything needing a wired connection and connecting to wireless).
Just to elaborate where this is going a little better. If you are using your own wireless router (Not an XBox adapter.) you should be able to log into the configuration console of it with your tablet and easily determine the ip of the hotel, internal and external.
I'm not sure what one of those adapters would cost, but the kind of router that AndrewD2 mentioned will run you around 30 bucks and up. His suggestion is awesome and would be a great way for you to use the hotel internet on your XBox even if there is no wired connection.
Hope that helps.
I suggest this
While is a poweline and can work part of a pair, it can also work as stand alone and doesn't need any extra power supply. It's small and u can configur it easily. You plug the eth cable one the cat5 socket and plug the dlink on the electricity socket.
FYI this is what I use.
Just in case someone stumbles upon this thread in search for the solution: here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060984 - haven't tested it yet, though.
Hello all,
My Fire HD 10 is my main device and so I use it alot.
Recently, I connected my DUALSHOCK4 controller to it via Bluetooth, and the Internet down/upload speeds went horrendosly slow. But when I disconnected, the speeds went back to 40/25mb/s respectively. Anyone know a workaround? Oh, and I am aware of OTG. We have an OTG cable, somewhere.
Hi,
Sounds like you have a 2.4GHz Wireless Access Point, Unfortunately Bluetooth also uses the very same 2.4GHz therefore interfering with each other. Some wireless access points have a co-exist with bluetooth function but to be honest you would be better off either getting a 5GHz Wireless Access Point or using the OTG cable (if it is compatible with your controller).
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the answer,
found a cheap 80p (about 95cent) OTG cable & ordered it, the DUALSHOCK4 works via OTG so all should be fine.
Hi all....Long time lurker, former Nexus root junkie, now cruising on the V20.
I am a ham radio operator and I have ventured into the world of DMR radio. I have a SharkRF OpenSPOT. In short the OpenSPOT connects via Ethernet to allow radio communications, serving as a ultra low power repeater bridge.
OpenSPOT is plug and play on my home network, I just have to connect to http://openspot/ to connect to the web interface
My question is this, I would like to connect my OpenSPOT to my V20 I purchased a USB-C to Gigabit adapters (Aukey model CB-C39)
I am stock, with developer options turned on.
I have no handshake between the OpenSPOT and phone.
I have selected Ethernet-USB on in developer options.
Can anyone help me tether my LTE data to the OpenSPOT via USB to Ethernet, basically function as a router?
Bump... Anyone? Thx
Why are you trying to go usb to ethernet? Is it because your carrier doesn't include any tethering via WiFi? I run a DVMega with my V20 using the hotspot feature and since I'm a cheap bastard, I'm using the Ethernet WiFi adapter that I had for an old laser printer. Not as elegant but it works. I'll spend the $8 on Amazon for a USB WiFi adapter one of these days.
I bet you could fashion a case for your OpenSpot and an Ethernet adapter.
Yes, I would like to, for lack of a better description, use the V20 as both a ISP and router in one, designating a hardwired OpenSPOT a IP address via the usb-c Ethernet adapter instead of having to carry a router.
Given the lack of a simple fix and due to the fact that I can charge while using wifi tethering, I believe the nano router route may just be the logical setup.....
