Hi,
My Nexus player is connected to ethernet using OTG cable, ethernet adapter, and Comtrend powerline adapter. This works great but when I turn TV on and Nexus player wakes up from sleep after pressing remote often there is no internet connection. Resetting the Nexus player solves the problem. Is there any way to keep the Nexus player from going to sleep or make sure internet keeps working in another way? Thanks, Steve.
If you go into the NP's settings and use the toggle switch to turn off and then turn on internet, does the connection come back?

I have just got an USB Ethernet Adapter which works very well with my Nexus 7. Plugged it in and I can enjoy very good internet browsing.
The only problem that I can do nothing with the connection. There's no way to turn on/off the connection and configure the IP address/settings like we can do with Wi-fi.
Is there any way to enable Ethernet UI under Settings permanently? Or is there any app to do that?
Thanks
Nope, there is no way to configure static IP for ethernet on the Nexus tablets. You have to set static IP in your router for nexus tablets using ethernet adapters.
I bought a simple micro USB to fast Ethernet adapter but I can't get it to work.
The connect light on my switch illuminates and the first time I powered up the nexus player after plugging in, it disconnected the wifi connection but won't connect via Ethernet.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Michael

What model did you get? I know the Nexus Player is finnicky about which ethernet adapters will work. I had to return the first one I ordered.
I recently bought an Anker USB hub with gigabit ethernet and connected it to an OTG cable. My (unrooted stock) Nexus Player picks up the ethernet interface right away and works perfectly... except for casting from my phone. My phone sees the Nexus Player as a target to cast to, but video never plays. If I disconnect ethernet and re-connect my Nexus Player via WiFi it works fine.
Anyone else have this problem?

Once connection through Ethernet is established, wireless is automatically disabled.

It could possibly be your specific adapter. Like sam.balia1012 said, when you plug up an ethernet adapter, it disables your wi-fi. however, even though I have the Inatek ethernet adapter, I am still able to tab cast or chromecast things from my phone to my Nexus Player while in ethernet mode without having to switch on wi-fi.
Hi, does anyone have any idea how to "activate" (if that's the word) the Ethernet on the MOJO - obviously it usually connects by Wireless, but just wondered if it was possible to Connect via the Ethernet. I'm running on CM12 not stock so not sure if there are menu choices for this sort of thing.

I switched my MOJO to Ethernet a few days ago, and it "just worked." I plugged the Ethernet cable in, turned off Wi-Fi in the drop-down settings, and it's still working. I'm using unjustified's CM12.1 as well.

Helps if you plug it in to the router

Thanks - I found the ethernet plug had disconnected from the router - that would explain alot
So I have HDMI-CEC turned on so I can turn on my Shield and have the TV turn on and change to the HDMI setting. Unfortunately, I just realized that waking my laptop from sleep also turns on my Shield TV. My laptop is not connected to my Shield via Bluetooth or anything. The Shield is connected via Ethernet cable and my laptop is connected via Wi-Fi.
Anyone know of a way to block my laptop from connecting/contacting the Shield and waking it up?
Laptop: Dell Latitude E7440
Router: TP-Link TL-WR841N
Thanks guys!
EDIT: Not sure if it's contacting it via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi/Internet.
