Hi all,
Anyone know if its possible to use a Galaxy Tab 2 with a USB dongle?
Want to try connect it so can use a dongle to get internet.
Found an adapter that will give the USB port but not sure if it will work with the dongle.
Thanks
I tryed on JB and CM9, no luck...

No. The USB adapter can only connect pen drives but cannot access internet. I had to buy a portable Wifi router (Rs. 1190 in INDIA). Its a small router (size of a dongle) with a battery of about 4 hours. Using that to transmit the internet to tab through Wifi.
Is there any chance to use some custom rom on tab 5110 and after that to use usb 3g modem?

Just wondering, since my Thinkpad Tablet has that handy USB port, can I plug in a USB ethernet adapter? Would be very handy for configuring network hardware and the like.
Thanks
Try it. I'd be eager to see what you come up with!
Me too.

It might work, but you need the correct USB to RJ45 Ethernet adapter for Android devices.
Funny, I was wondering the same thing yesterday. Love to know outcome.

Hello,
i bought in Germany an Medion Lifetab P9516, its a Lenovo Ideapad K1.
This week we got the update of ICS and so i have ethernet with a d-link usb-ethernet adapter.
The adapter is a DUB-E100 adapter and i get the ip-address dynamicly.
I can see the ip with ifconfig and the route with ip route, but i cant change the ip because the device is not rooted.
Is here anyone who rooted his device with ICS and can give a little advice?
Thanks a lot
Wolfgang
P.S. Please apologies my bad english.

What I use and is really sweet is a Bluetooth to serial adapter. They are a little high in price though compared to a USB Network adapter.
There are multiple companies that make them but this has been my favorite one so far - http://www.g2microsystems.com/products/RN_270
I use it with a free app called blueterm and can config anything with a console/serial cable from my phone or tablet.

hey all
am connecting my htc sensation 4g.. with my laptop vie usb by intenet pass-through .. and am connecting my lap with 3g usb connector
and am sharing it with my phone ... my problem is I don't want 2 keep stick with my laptop via usb cable .. i want 2 connect wirelessly
means that I want to connect my phone via wireless with my 3g usb connector that am using with my lap ...
I hope to solve this soon
I hope I read that right but have you tried any of the wireless tethering apps? Which carrier do you have and which phone and ROM?
Just stick the SIM card of the 3G dongle in your phone. No need for the laptop.
I just got the Western Digital Livewire setup. My nexus 7 connects fine using a generic apple Ethernet adapter + OTG and connected straight into my cable modem. I tried to get Ethernet on the N7 through a port on the Powerline and it just would not recognize it. Has anyone else tried this or is it possible Android doesn't like to be hooked up to Ethernet that way? I'm pretty stumped.

As to your question, I have no idea. I'm just curious why you're using ethernet instead of wifi. Is there any benefit? Not trolling, I'm just wondering what your motivation is. I must admit I've never imagined anyone would use a tablet on anything other than wireless.

I've seen a few on the forum use Ethernet on their Nexus 7. It can give a more consistent internet speed in some cases and I think it drains less battery from the device. I had the Western Digital setup for some VOIP phone stuff so I thought I'd try it out. I don't have wifi.
Whether it's a powerline or not shouldn't matter as that's transparent to the connected device. It just sees an Ethernet link.
So N7 + OTG + USB Ethernet Adapter into the cable modem worked fine? N7 + USB Ethernet Adapter into the powerline did not work? What is the powerline connected to again? Is the cable modem just a "dumb" modem or is it a router as well with DHCP functionality?
Do any other devices work being connected through the powerline adapters?
Yes the N7+OTG+USB Ethernet works fine. Just started trying to network things as I have a need for it now. I see that I need to get a broadband router still. I have an Arris cable modem( TM402G/110) that I use with Xfinity Voice. I thought maybe it could have a router already in it but I guess not. Can anyone recommend a cheap broadband router, well low cost and good function?
Hello, sorry for my English.
You can use USB devices with high power consumption such as LAN adapters in the Galaxy Note N800?
Using a LAN adapter in a Chinese tablet from 100 euro without problems.
How is it that a tablet less able to do things that the N8000 does not it?
And 'possible to bypass the problem?
Thank you.
ADE-X1 /w N8000
Axago ADE-X1 USB LAN adapter doesn't work with my N8000.
I don't think there is any possibility to "bypass" the problem
