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.

I just got in a Micro USB to USB OTG Adapter Cable ($4), Plugable USB 2.0 to 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN Wired Network Adapter ($13) and Plugable USB 2.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Wired Network Adapter ($25) from Amazon, and both Ethernet adapters work with the OTG cable on my Moto X!
Plug either adapter in and upon establishing a connection, Wifi turns off (if it was on) and the wired interface becomes the default interface and default route. Remove the adapter and everything reverts to the way it was.
Most apps I tried with the wired connection worked fine, but some did not - most notably Fing Network Tools. I was really hoping that Fing Network Tools would work better than it does with the wired connection. I've already made suggestions to the Fing developers to better accommodate wired connections.
For $17 you can turn your Moto X into a basic network troubleshooting tool for wired connections using LanDroid.

Thanks for the heads-up! This could be VERY useful
Found a gigabit connection that works with FireTV. "iClever 3 Ports USB 3.0 Hub with RJ45 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Converter LAN Wired Network Adapter for Laptops, Ultrabooks and Tablet PCs with USB Ports, Compatible with Windows XP/7/8, Mac OS-X, Linux Chromebook Anroid 4.0 and above" Here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KRTVOUE/
While I've enjoyed the FireTV, I've found that some of the programs I use on it are choked by the 100 megabit port (such as the HD Homerun View app), and I'd tried a couple of other USB LAN connectors without success. It seems the Android software doesn't have built in support for many USB gigabit products. This one was on sale (with a coupon) and I figured even if it didn't work, I'd still have 3 USB 3.0 ports, but lo and behold, the Fire recognizes not only the USB but the gigabit port, which helps with the throughput from other parts of my network, including the HD Homerun View app. On the app, HD channels are actually watchable, including DRM channels in HD.
I searched the forums, and saw others looking for the same, so figured I'd report my findings.
the plugable USB2.0 -> "gigabit" ethernet adapters i used on my Gen1 ATV work fine with the firetv as well.
Note that fireTV is usb2.0 only, so your network is limited to ~400 megabits due to the USB Bus speed but it will negotiate at 1000mbps.

I'd tried a couple of the Pluggables without success. Maybe it was the firmware updates and my timing. And right about the limitations of throughput; maybe my experience is more perception than reality, but for the price ($13 with coupon) the improvement coupled with the additional USB ports make it worthwhile.
Can you post the model/part numbers of the Pluggables you've had success with in the event others are looking to attempt the same thing?
this topic has been discussed numerous times already, FireTv has USB 2.0 and not USB 3.0 so those gigabit adapters will work, just not yeild gigabit speeds.
Check out my Thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/general/firetv-vs-nexus-player-vs-ouya-vs-mojo-t2945627
Where i compare the ethernet speeds between FireTV with Fastethernet port (4.18MB/s over SFTP) vs Open Hour Chameleon with Gigabit Port(7.13MB/s over SFTP)
Wait for the Forge TV or the Nvidia Shield for gigabit speeds.
Yeah, I was looking for specific models that worked specifically with AFTV. I didn't see much along those lines, more anecdotal reports of speed and whatnot. Mods can delete this if it seems duplicative, that's fine.

How did you get this to work with your AFTV? I plugged it into the USB port and It was not recognized.

It is "Plugable" and you need an OTG adapter to use the non-OTG version:
"Since the UGREEN adapter doesn’t have OTG capabilities (which is a good thing), you’re going to need to use an OTG adapter to connect it to the Fire TV or Fire TV Stick. Either this Generic OTG Adapter or this Angle OTG Adapter will work. The generic OTG adapter gives you a bit more cable length and flexibility with positioning, but the angle OTG adapter gives you a cleaner setup with fewer cables. I’ve verified that both work with the Fire TV 3 and Fire TV Stick 2, so the choice is yours" change to according to UGREEN info at AFTVNEWS.
Essentially you are adding a USB port, plus a power port to the small port on the AFTV. You still need to get a few extra USB ports in your adapter or settle for one with just Ethernet, however UGREEN and plugable sell versions that are not Gigabit and won't get 480mbps out of the 2.0, or will sacrifice the speed sharing it with the other peripherals according to some reviews.

You need an OTG "On The Go" adapter, it was an android/Linux idea that allowed plugging regular USB keyboards and devices into micro USB on a phone or tablet. You get that adapter then you plug your 10/100 Mbps or 1000 (limited to 480 on 2.0) Mbps devices. Examples are FunHome or Fun-Home left angle OTG adapter or DSYJ micro USB adapter on Amazon.
Some other cables don't have a power connector though so you might not want one without both a micro-USB and USB input.
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
AX88179 = usb 3.0, yours that wasn't working
asix has these usb 2.0 to 10/100 lan IC's:
AX88172A
AX88772A
AX88772B
AX88772C
will try to find any in Brazil.

i will test hubs and network + hub in the future also
EDIT:
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 .
EDIT2:
my brother has the tp-link usb 3.0 to gigabit USB adapter, also did not work. The chip is Realtek RTL8153.

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?
