Hi there,
I am looking for a phone that would allow me to join a wireless (wifi) network and then share the connection with an ethernet connected laptop.
I assume that I will need a phone that can accept either a USB or Compact Flash ethernet adapter.
Has anyone come across such a solution?
Regards,
Tim
99% of pocketpc's are usb slaves and cant ever connect actively to any usb device
but 99% of pocketpc's can work as usb and bluetooth modems for pc's
Unfortunately USB is not an option as we are in a secure environment and USB access is locked down on the laptops.
However you could use your phone connected to your computer with USB, bluetooth, or wifi then connect a hub to your computers LAN port then setup ics with your comp.
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?
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.

But why not connect the Ethernet side TO your router and not use wifi?

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.)

Hello,
I'm onto the samething, already bought the usb to ethernet connector but can't get it to work.
Can you provide me the exact details how you have done this ?
Thanks in advance.

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

Bridging Connections in Android
I've recently worked to get OpenVPN working on my Android CM7-based phone. This allows me to connect to my personal network from my phone which is great. I'd like to take it a step further by allowing other computers to tether to my phone and...

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.....
Hi guys, I have an old Galaxy A40 and I like to share its wi-fi conecction ovet ethernet. I tried with an USB type-c Hub but I can't turn on the USB tethering option and the ethernet option in the menù is only for input connection. It's a problem with some missing drivers or I need an ethernet-USBC adapter? (I use the HUB with my new OnePlus and it's ok but on OnePlus I have the Ethernet Tethering option that missing in the A40)
I'd like to share the connection with a router and I can't use USB ports because the router doesn't allow me to use a smartphone as input.
Hope someone can help me. Thanks.
