hey guys and girls;
for various reasons i want to be able to use cat5 with my tablet, i have found this:
www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007RTACDM/ref=aw_d_detail?pd=1
but it says it wont work with samsung as they dont support wired internet, is that something that is in custom roms? i was planing on using a dock, maybe with a otg usb connector or something, is there a better way of getting cat5 on my tablet?
if not, has anyone had much luck with other tablets and what im trying to make happen?

Hi all,
I did a few searches before this and it seems like no one else has asked about this yet. My goal is to get some type of external radio working on an Android phone in hopes to learn more about the system and possibly get a USB LTE radio talking to Android. I know most of the phones use usb Micro which supports a host protocol but I don't know if the Android system supports it.
My first goal would be to get a usb wifi dongle or 3g dongle working. My reasoning is because those have linux drivers so maybe I could try to get the driver on the android phone? Just my thoughts.
Does anyone think this is possible? Thanks for any help.
PS: I am aware that I would need an adapter to make the dongle fit to the micro usb port.
SO far I have been able to get host mode working on a nexus one. Now I need to get into adding different kernel modules compiled. Does anyone know a good guide to follow to ge me started? I did a quick google search but it didnt really turn up anything other than compile the actual Android Kernel.
Hi all, I've searched hard for this...
I just bought a D-Link Wireless N 150 USB adapter because I though it might help getting wifi reception on my Nexus 7 in my bedroom where it is currently poor.
I have a OTG adapter so I figured I could plug it in with that and off I go!
...The problem is installing the software.
The USB stick comes with a mini cd-rom with the software on it which makes it tricky to get it on to the Nexus.
So. I suppose my question is threefold:
1) Firstly, can this USB wireless thing work on my Nexus?
2) How can I make it work?
Wait, that's just two.
Help will be much appreciated and I will rampant with my thanks.

Why should you use a external Wifi-USB-thing? I think the Nexus has Wifi, thats enough. Its like putting two keyboards on one pc...
What you need is a Wifi-Repeater.
And that little guy is available on Amazon.
So much fun with your Nexus.

Hey hey! Thanks, yeah I just thought that it could be used to also boost the wifi signal, it just cuts out in my room. But I have also ordered a repeater
Hi all,
I wondered if someone knows a method to use my device as WiFi adapter to my PC (Via USB).
I'm not talking about USB Tethering, I want to use my device to search and\or connect to WiFi networks, all from my computer - like I have a real WiFi adapter.
I have HTC One X if this matter.
Thanks ahead.
No, sadly not. But why not just buy a USB WiFi adapter?

Hmmm ... That would require u to mess around with a bunch of scripts and ull need a driver so u might just be able to do this with a linux system ...anyway
I dunno how but it's possible yeah ... Only u'll have a smart and pretty expensive wifi adapter
I dont know how to do that with a phone but i can do it with a router that has dd wrt.
Its called a Repeater Bridge.
Good Luck!
Never heard about that a phone use as a router.. i recognized phone use as a modem.
All,
The last post I saw regarding this topic was back in May and I want to see if there have been any updates.
I want to get USB ethernet working with this device but it appears it is not supported. Is this true? Only on stock kernal? Are there modded kernals with USB ethernet support?
TIA,
AL
I think you have to go back to gingerbread if you want that feature.
No idea how difficult it would be to implement but I imagine it is too much work for little reward.
The title basically says it all. I want to know if anyone got otg to work. I tried it and nothing. Im dissapointed as any of the phones i had did not have this damn feature. Do they really think its not important on lower end phones? Ive had the cheapest chinese tablets and phones support it but my new phone wont. Sorry for the rant. If anyone could make otg work i would be grateful. I need it for storage and usb dac (soundcard) because the audio in this phone is a bit weak.
