I recently bought one and so far it doesn't seem to work. It was only cheap so i'm not too bothered but just wondering if anyone else has tried this and been successful
yes, i have tried with an older linksys usb ethernet adapter.... it's at the office now, but bought it YEARS ago for my Tiver series 2 (a recommended usb adapter for modding the tivo) Also used the adapter that I use on my Wii/Wii U as well
and did it work..?^^

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 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?
Has anyone had any luck with getting TV Out to work with their S4 Active? Has anyone even tried to see if it works? If you got it to work what adapter did you use? I just tried with this PNY adapter I bought with no luck, and I was wondering if anyone else has tried.
*edit*
Seems I got the wrong adapter. Didn't realize there were 5 pin adapters for the older phones and 11 pin adapters for the newer phones.
Ok so I went out and got the correct MHL to HDMI adapter and I attempted to connect my phone to my monitor -- an ASUS VX238H -- using three different HDMI Cables. First I tried a Spyder C Class HDMI cable followed by a Belkin HDMI cable my phonee recognized being plugged into a HDMI cable but my monitor didn't detect any signal. I just now tried this off brand HDMI cable I had and when I plugged it in my monitor went black (It has two HDMI ports with my computer plugged into HDMI1 and my phone plugged into HDMI2). So my question is is there a specific type of cable I have to use or some feature some HDMI clables have that I don't want to use (such as Ethernet)?
S4 Active has it's own forum now...

Hey guys,
just wondering if anyone knows whether you could setup an ethernet connection directly to your Oneplus 2 using an adapter like this?
Hi,
I've actually tried this for fun just 2 days ago with this adapter, I'm usually using it for my Dell XPS 15:
http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=de&l=de&s=dhs&cs=dedhs1&sku=470-ABND
And no, it won't work nor detect the adapter at all.
My guess is that the adapter is connected using USB 3.0 internally, which is not supported by the OnePlus Two.
Do we figure it would work if it was USB 2.0 inside?
Not necessarily, because quite a few USB Type C to Micro-USB B 2.0 adapters won't work with the OnePlus Two either.
To my knowledge only the original (overpriced) adapter and a Xiaomi one are actually working, so either them or the other manufacturers are differing from the standard USB Type C 2.0 pinout.
If you want to save yourself some hassle I'd say you should go for an Ethernet to Micro-USB B one and add the Xiaomi adapter to it.
A kernel with proper Ethernet-support is also needed, LordBoefflas Kernels include a kernel-module for this, you can enable it inside the "Boeffla-Config v2" app.
Hi guys.
I just bought S5e cover with keyboard and since I'm oldschool,I'd like to use tablet sometimes as a laptop.
I know I can switch to Dexx mode but I wonder can I use mouse with it?
I have some dongles USB type C to Type A (3.0 and 2.0) but those are chinese.
Can I use them normally connecting to type C port on tablet without any issues and then connect wireless mouse dongle over it?
Yep you can
I know that some phones/tablets are super sensitive on which dongles you use to connect the peripherals, however I have had my luck with several devices previously. I have never owned the Samsung Tab S5e, but I have the Tab S6, and it eats any dongles i throw at it.
Psst: I have a dongle with 3x USB 3.0 ports, 1x1000mbps LAN, 1xUSB-C and SD card reader on it, and all works.
