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.
i want to use turn on both Ethernet and Wifi on my android decive at the same time with different IP addresses like:
Wifi: IP: 192.168.1.5 Gateway: 192.168.1.1
and
Ethernet: IP:192.168.0.10 Gateway: (Blank)
Is it possible? the problem is that when i turn Wifi on , the Ethernet will get disconnected.
and only when Wifi goes off or disconnected Ethernet will be connected!
How can i use both of them at the same time connected to the network?
It's possible in PC based systems even with 2-3 adapters! But what about Android devices?

okay , i dont want to do this anymore, the problem solved.
im using USB to Ethernet adapter.
i use wifi of tablet for other purpose , i want to add a device to tablet that works with network
i can simply put an accesspoint and connect the device to tablet but it a bit more expensive that USB-Ethernet adapter
simply for this!
anyways thanks for ur answer
Thanks for your precious input man!. It also works for me with an Android compatible USB / Ethernet Adapter. If I configure both Wifi and Ethernet manually with different subnets, I can make both work simultaneously. I use this adapter: Assmann DN-10050-1 Digitus USB network adapter.
@hyelton: ever heard of Android TV boxes? Imagine to have it connected via Wifi to the web and via Ethernet to your NAS?
Cheers.

Yes I know, but why is the NAS not already connected to the same network that the box is connecting to the WiFi? The ideal way is to have the NAS part of your network not separate.

You are right, it is the ideal way to have everything in the same network. But in my experience, streaming HD content via Wifi is too laggy. Therefore I connect my NAS and my Android TV box via an ethernet cable.

Because I would have to drill holes in several walls to get the cable trough to all devices. This way I only need to place the NAS in the vicinity of the Android TV Box and connect them via cable.

Idk it just seems verry wasteful. I have Ethernet scattered throughout my upstarts no holes drilled and none of it visible. Why don't you just use an external USB hard drive instead of wasting a NAS?

Dear Friends,
let me explain about the problem.
Result: let me say that the problem solved by interfacing android usb to my device instead of ethernet.
Details: and now about the reason i need to do it: i have a small electronic design office. i need to design a system that controls electrical I/Os (like Relays, Triacs, etc) and need android to control that wirelessly, so 2 problem exists:
1. how to connect android wirelessly to PC / Mobile?
Answer: by network programming and wifi
2. how to connect android device (tablet/phone without direct I/Os) to the Electrical devices with wire?
Answer: there is 2way: 1.with Ethernet , 2. with Usb
Ethernet: via Enc28j60
Usb: with usb controller
and why not to use Router/AccessPoint?
Answer: simply because addition of more device! it increase cost of building and the volume , power consumption, complexity of system etc.
Thanks for ur attention.
(sorry for bad english.)

I know this is an old topic...
But just wondering, doesn't Android TV boxes have their own Ethernet port? Or does only the USB Ethernet work simultaneously with builtin in WiFi?
I am keen to make them work simultaneously on HiMedia media player which already has a builtin Ethernet port and WiFi, but only one works at a time.
Thanks

Greetings all-
I am an IT professional and was thinking how handy it would be if I could just plug my phone into our wired ethernet network to test if a port, cable, switch, etc is working properly.
Goal: To plug my G2 into an ethernet cable and use one of the IP info apps (or packet sniffer apps) to do some network troubleshooting. Basically, I would want to know if DHCP is working on a port and what IP info the phone is getting.
I know they make ethernet testers that can be plugged into a wire for testing/troubleshooting purposes but these are expensive and can't do what an sniffer app can. Plus I always have my phone and can easily carry a few extra cables with me to make this happen.
Experiment: I bought thingy one and thingy two.
I plugged both of these into my phone and then connected the ethernet cable. I saw the link light come on, so I know there is at least some connectivity. However, I am not able to get any data to pass through to the phone. I set the phone to airplane mode (so it won't use any wireless networks) and try to access the internet and I get nothing. The G2 doesn't know how to use the ethernet connection.
Does anyone know how to make this work????
Thanks for any help you can provide!!

Nope, but thinking it through should be possible. In short you just have to configure Android/Linux to use the 802.11 adapter on the USB port. Would be interested to know what the log files have when you plugged in to the G2. Suspect
1) You will need to be rooted
2) Would try get the LAN adapter working on a Linux desktop first then go back to the G2. If there are Win, Mac & Linux drivers should be possible why Android is 'limited' to ASIX AX88772 chipset needs to be understood though.
Good luck
You will have to write specific drivers for it. It isn't just convincing the kernel that your microusb port is your 802.11 port, because the technology is different. Ethernet doesn't have to worry about maintaining a connection over the air, but it does have to remember which wire is used for what. So it would need an actual driver written for it.

Hi folks!
I want to connect an android device (it has usb slots... i can plug there 3g dongles, keyboards, wifi etc) with my computer to try to establish an adb session.
Is that possible like that (usb male - male)? Do i have to solder a custom cable - and how would he wiring be to force the android into "client mode"?
Any help is highly appreciated!

to wiring an usb cable is not so hard. normally you only need to solder the same coloured wire together, red to red, white to white, green to green and black to black. but there are already male to male cable to buy.
www.dx.com/p/ult-unite-ult-1234-usb...lated-data-connection-cable-white-60cm-269067
what does your android device have for an usb? is it micro usb or standard (type a)?
if you have a micro usb port so use an usb data cable, most of the charging cable does have data transfer support.
your computer even needs a driver for your android device to get working the adb.
good luck!

Hi! Thanks for your help! Its a type A jack on that device just like on the computer. Adbd daemon is on the device running but my windows machine cannot detect an usb device with direct soldered pins (or a bought cable which seems to have the same wiring)
I read about possible collitions when both devices of an usb connection are in host mode and that maybe pullup resistors on the data lines are needed - but i didnt fully understand that part. (Its different to the pin shortening of an usb otg wiring which can be found thousand times on google *G*)
can u describe exactly which cable u have used? and sometime the colors of the cable are not correct e.g. red is not +. those are build by chinese manufactures for cheaps goods. so u have even to measure the cable with a voltmeter.
and describe what happen when u plug the cable in the pc. normally windows is always running as main and android as slave.
as you describe u have an usb a type so i guess your android version is minimum 4.x and is already automatically on host status because you said u can put in a 3g dongle...so u have to go to the android command change from inside. i dont know much about linux programming so have to ask a developer. i only do developing hardwares not softwares, sorry for that.
what is your android device? with a datasheet is it better to solve your problem.
Hi KindsKoPP!
Thanks for your help and interest!
Basically I tested with a 1 to 1 wired cable I soldered by cutting 2 usb cables. I double checked colors (measured their output when connected to the computer) and found them ok. Then I connected them 1 to 1 (red-red, black-black, green-green, white-white).
But no usb device showing up or asking for drivers...
I know that adbd is running on the target device.
I pulled up some info here: http://www.valki.com/2014/12/04/analyse-av7/
I am still hoping that those usb devices who are in a double role (like our phones too with their usb otg host mode and client mode for mtp, adb...) are triggerable externally by using special soldered cables (resistors?) ... like "when resistor xy is on D+ -> go to client mode"?
Does anyone have tested usb lan adapters with the 9T?
I used all the time a ASIX lan adapter in my old Moto X2 with Lineage OS, so i was wondering i anyone have a "working" adapter/IC with the 9T so i can get one for me?
thanks!
I tried LAN adapter on my mi 9t and i can confirm that sadly it doesn't work :/. It worked on my older Mi 4c but not on the recent models.

good news! tried a "ASIX AX88178" usb 2.0 to gigabit adapter and worked fine! don't know if is only this one, but i think newer asix usb 3.0 will work too (usb on this phone is 2.0 only)
can scan LAN and get internet from it. just need to connect on a network with DHCP ( i don't think you can set manual ip on lan on android)
beware of cheap otg adapters, some of them (tiny dongle) does not have all GND and VCC pins, so they don't get a proper "multiple connection" pins to get better amperage from phone. usb lan adapter can use a bit of power from phone

Hi, can you tell me the steps to follow to make it work? I have a Mi9t Pro and a USB Lan X88179 adapter connected to an OTG to the mobile, but the internet does not work. How did you do it?
Can you explain this part to me?
"can scan LAN and get internet from it. just need to connect on a network with DHCP ( i don't think you can set manual ip on lan on android)"
Thank you.
Hi, i used a otg adapter cable (make sure it works correctly with a thumb drive for example, to make sure every thing is ok and detect the device)
then i just connected the lan adapter. i would appear as if it is not working, but you need to connect to a network router/switch/etc with the cable and the leds should light up on the lan adapter. to "properly" work, you need to connect to a device with DHCP enabled (by default all lan routers have this) so it will give the phone a IP and work normally. (a network icon should appear on the notification bar)
then you can disable wifi and see if there is internet (if have it in the router) or use the network analyzer to scan the network (if it detect the device and work, you will be able to scan the network and find the devices on it)

My otg works by putting the usb memory (yes, it detects it, so OTG is right).
When I connect USB lan adapter (AX88179) to the OTG, the operation lights do not light. And the network icon does not appear on the mobile, and I havent internet. (However, with another Huawei mobile and the Huawei tablet the lights do turn on, the network icon appears, and the internet works via ethernet).
My router is connected in DHCP.
What could be the problem? I need to connect the 9t pro by cable but I can't find the way.
I thought it could be a problem with Xiaomi and 9t pro, but if you connect your 9t I suppose it is possible.
Why don't you use some small modem?

you mean connect the ethernet cable directly to a small modem and this via USB to the mobile? it would be to use the modem instead of the lan adapter, right? it's a good option, I can try it to see if it works for me.
But I still have the doubt as to why in Mi 9t pro the lan adapter does not work
perhaps the AX88179 is not supported... i tested mine ( AX88178 ) with MIUI and LineageOS and works on both,

Hello, I have gone to the Xiaomi store and another to fix mobile phones, in both they have told me that the ethernet option through an adapter to the 9t pro is not possible because my USB is only for transferring photos, videos (pendrive) but it is not compatible with connections. In developer options, the RNDIS option (USB ethernet) does not appear, which would be the one you would have to have to be able to do it. Do you have the RNDIS option in 9T? it would be: developer options -> default USB settings
RNDIS is for using usb <>usb connection to a computer and make a network over usb, NOT a usb lan adapter.
if usb support OTG (send power via usb to connect a device like usb pendrive) it means it "can" support any usb device, but depend only on the device to have drivers and support for the type of device.
Again, i've tested mine in MIUI and Lineage, and works fine. will post a video showing...

Thank you for your answers. In the Mi community forum, users have the same problem as mine, updates from MIUI 10 do not work for the ethernet option (my MIUI is 12.0.3.0. Another girl asked Xiaomi directly and in an email They answered that they had eliminated that option for not going "with their philosophy" (they are also eliminating the headphone jack connection in many mobiles, it can only be used by bluetooh). This is the general trend, I cannot find anyone who has found a solution Only you! Even in this forum there is a thread about rooting the mobile to make it work with ethernet (but it is too complicated for me). Also other people on the forum work the lan adapter by activating RNDIS in the developer options.
So far, none of this has worked for me.
Summary: Since I don't know exactly what the problem or compatibility is, I am going to try the AX88178 lan adapter. So, wish me luck!

Hello! I'm writing to you from my Xiaomi 9t pro in airplane mode with an ethernet cable connected. You were finally right, now it works with the AX88178!! Thanks thanks!!!
Great! if anyone knows a 10/100 adapter that works too with 9T, please share.
10/100 are slower, but consume less power. would be nice to have the option

mine is the same, without the case. but this one is gigabit over usb 2.0 (max around 400mbps).
a 10/100 would be enough for me, smaller and with less power consumption. will try to find a compatible chip from asix perhaps in the future

If connecting on a network without DHCP, you can add manually the ip by using "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100" in termux for example. i believe needs root for that. ("su" before running ifconfig)
without setting manual ip on network without DHCP, the network won't work .

thanks! Yes, it consumes battery. the option you say would be good. I want to ask you something: on the box of the pluggable USB 2.0 it says: warm cancer and reproductive, for p65 California. I have read that it may be from the lead. Is that why you don't have the case on your adapter?
