I have a grandfathered Verizon plan with unlimited data. On average I receive a blazing ~56ping and 29-34mb download and 22-25 upload. No mobile hotspot plan so I use the apps. I do not have root access to my phone (HTC One M8 HK edition). Usb tethering has worked for me fine and I need to know how to Tether to my Xbox. Obviously I know I can't plug it into the usb ports. I have been looking on Amazon at Female Usb to Make Ethernet adaptors. Stick the male Ethernet component into the back as you would the wire, then connect my phone with the usual micro Ian cable and inset it into the adaptor. Has anyone had success using this to connect to Xbox live. Or are there any other wired means to connect a Xbox to a phone.
I would plug it in to a PC and activate windows network sharing.

I have a USB dongle which I brought for my laptop, and I have a DHD with my PS3 which is connected to my Sony Bravia 26 inch.
The USB tethering on my DHD works fine and is able to access my PC's internet just fine. If I switch on wifi hotspot on my DHD, my PS3 can recognise the network and connect to it as well.
Can I do a uSB tether to my DHD with my laptop, and then enable wifi hotspot so that my PS3 can access the internet with it? I cannot go in for a 3G plan because here in India, it costs a bomb. My USB dongle costs a bomb too, but Ive already invested in it.
Can someone please tell me how I can do what I wanna do? Thanks in advance
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?
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
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.....
