Hi, I am new to using a Firestick. I was fortunate to have a friend that gave me one. I know my Firestick is rooted to get what it needs. I am assuming that rooted means Jailbroke. If I am wrong please let me know. I am having a problem with my Firestick in the form of this, I bought an Amazon Ethernet Adapter for Amazon Fire TV Devices. When I try to connect to the Firestick I cannot get it to work. I see the Firestick on my router’s information page, however, I cannot get it to use the ethernet connection. I am sure the unit is working without the Ethernet Adapter because I saw it work on Wi-Fi. I searched for some information and I found this article. It makes me think, is there something else that needs to be done to the unit before it will work? Any help or advice appreciated. Thanks

Hello people. I have a question regarding connecting a usb dongle to a tablet. I'm not a developer and I'm not a hardware expert either so easy with the terms. :laugh:
I saw a thread where Bhaskar1109 explained how to connect a dongle to any Android tablet but it required root access and that's not something that everyone can manage.
So the question is; is it possible to set up a specific dongle model in cooperation with a specifically designed Android app to get it working without any fuss?
I would really appreciate your replies.
Thanks,
Rob
It may depend on your tablet. I've got a tab 2 and I can just plug the dongle in and go.
Hey guys,
I recently bought an xtrons headunit for my car, and I love it. I also have an ATT Netgear 340u Beam that i was hoping to use to allow the headunit to connect to the Internet. I have ATT and it is the only usb dongle I could get from them.
Normally you need a driver to get it to work, but is there any way to get it to work without a driver?
It does have a sim card, so maybe there is a way to use a different dongle with it. Any advice would be appreciated.
Or I am open to alternative solutions within the US. Have not yet found a 4g dongle that will work in the US but any ideas would be great.
Hey guys,
I have a little problem. I ordered an OBD2 Wifi Dongle for reading fault codes of my car. I chose a Wifi adapter because some of my family members are iOS users so they can use it, too.
The dongle is working fine, connected it with my windows tablet and could read the fault codes of my ford mondeo.
With my device (htc one m9 running LOS15.1) I can connect the wifi to the dongle but I can't get connection to the specific port.
The default address and port is 192.168.0.10:35000. I can ping the adapter but even a port check on my device does not work.
I've read something about, that android can't connect/handle ad-hoc networks correctly? Is this still a problem in android 8.1?
I already tried to give my phone a static address but no success.
Do you have an idea what I need to change/edit or what I can do?
Thank you
Regards,
Dominic

I had the same issue. I checked all the connections and the cheap usb hub I was using was the issue. I used a recommenced usb hub and now the ethernet connection on the usb memory stick work fine.
First off, jailbroken is an apple term.
Rooted is an Android term. Most likely what you have is neither. You probably just have unknown sources enabled to be able to install apk apps outside of the store. It's nothing illegal as it's a feature built into Android.
As for the adapter not working, I would guess you have the older model. The Amazon fire TV stick gen 1 does not support OTG (On The Go) which is a tech that is required for the adapter to work.
Gen 2 supports it as well as the pendant and the cube.
Go into Amazon setting and check the about my fire section and find out the model and os version to confirm your gen.

Also can check the FCC ID number on the housing.
1st-gen = 2ABDU-0509
2nd-gen = 2AE6S-0948

Hi guys,
I am new to Nvidia shield Gen 2 - recently purchased it. I previously had a android box and finally decide to get one of the 16gb shields. I have the controller and remote but i been trying to connect the below remote but its not working. I wanted to know if i need to install anything for it work or does Nvidia shield only support bluetooth wireless mouse? I have looked around on google but cant see any answers, so thought id post here.

If the answer is that i cannot use this keyboard/mouse then i will look to purchase one of the recommended wireless keyboard/mouse on xda.
Thanks for your help in advb
