I recently purchased the Qtek 9100 phone/pda and I love it. The only thing that I can see is missing is if their is a ethernet adapter for it? (Maybe a mini-usb to ethernet adapter?). It is very useful if I go from hotels to hotels that don't have wifi hotspots but have ethernet only access. Is their such a thing for this phone? Thank you in advance.
nope, no such animal.... try this instead.

Good answer but if for some reason wireless is not an option, ActiveSync has the ability to pass thru your USB connected PDA to your desktop PCs network connection.
I just bought one of these
http://www.techfever.co.uk/products.asp?partno=7464
and it worked straight out of the box. As soon as I plugged it in the Wizard saw it and I was able to connect through a standard non-wireless Router.
Its very small too - so easy to pack in the carry case provided and slip in an overnight bag/briefcase when I'm travelling.

Now that we have our usb adaptor up and running,
does anyone think a usb to ethernet adaptor would work?
I'm going on a trip recently and it would be awesome if the tab could hook up to the internet access in the motel room ( they dont offer wireless)
These usb-ethernet adaptors only cost $20 so it would make the already useful tab even more worth its price!
Simple answer, no. It doesn't work like that

I don't think the drivers will be available, I'm fairly certain you'll be able to pick up a portable wireless access point for around the same price which you could plug into the Ethernet at the hotel.
R
maybe, if some one can put the driver in to tab ;p
Drivers shouldn't be a problem.
Init scripts, DHCP, etc could be - the userland stack probably has no concept of wired Ethernet connections.
I don't have a portable USB Ethernet adapter so couldn't really look into this. Easier to just get a small AP.
What about for places that don't allow any wireless AP? I am deployed, and all I have is my xoom, no laptop, nothing else -- went to area that did have wireless for the first bit and had zero problems. We just moved to an area that does not allow wireless of any kind (i.e., Airport Express wireless AP router, etc), mainly for security reasons. So I don't have a laptop to work through any connections. I have an Ethernet cable sticking out of the wall staring at my Xoom. Is there any type of adaptor that I can get to allow me to be hard-wired without the use of wireless?
I can't use any type of tethering (no cell phone coverage). So I'm hoping there is some sort of mini-usb adaptor to USB to modem to ethernet...
I am looking into this as well. I do service on moving heads (lamps) and they have a web server built in for diagnostics. I would love to just use my tablet to connect directly to them.
My adapter is an Asix AX88772B. It worked before on my china tablet on 3.2. but after I did an ICS upgrade on it, it stopped working.But that tablet sucked in all possible ways !

This is done on the EEPad. Can this be done on the Galaxy series?

even i was searching the web for a solution ..found that for xoom and acer tabs...a kernel code was written through adb shell and yes a wifi only tab could connect to internet through the dongles....wish some dev takes this us and experiments with our tab

I also am in a location that doesn't allow any wireless AP or travel routers. Once I attached the travel router, it gets knocked off the network. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. I would love to find a solution to connecting an usb ethernet adaptor to it.
I have tried the bobjgear usb ethernet adapter on my note 10.1, no joy. I also have another one (pluggable) on a different asix chip which needs more power to get going. I don't think the tab can supply enough for the led lights on it. Have ordered 5v injectors. So yet to see. Although I may well be barking up wrong tree as the note may not have drivers at all. I read somewhere that note may have some compatibility but mut be correct chip. So I will keep on testing until exhausted.
One the plus side bobjgear's website does list tabs that work out of the box with his adapter

Hi,
I have a TV Box that requires ethernet connection, located where there's no ethernet socket around.
Initially, I thought of buying a wireless ethernet dongle (such as this www. amazon. com/dp/B005OIB714/ref=asc_df_B005OIB7142059191?smid=A3U3JJYGD7YYL1&tag=nextagusmp0359831-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=B005OIB714 ) which connects to the internet via wifi, and provides an ethernet male cable to stick into the TV box.
But here's a thought - would it be possible to use my SGS2 instead? Can it be used as a Wifi client, and is there a micro B to ethernet-male adapter or cable?
Tried googling for a while but got flooded with too much confusing data.
Thanks!
Your phone can be a wireless hotspot, if that what you want.

I don't think that's what he's asking. Sounds like he wants to connect the phone to wifi, then use some kind of adapter to piggyback the network connection out to an RJ45 wired port to the other device.

Dude, that thing is only $25. Just get it. I don't think what you are attempting will work, and even if it would, it would (theoretically) require an additional adapter for micro usb to rj 45 anyways, which would cost some amount of money, thus defeating what appears to be your purpose of saving money.
THANKS!
Yep -what I wanted was to use the SGS2 instead of a WiFi2Ethernet dongle.
I sometimes enjoy extending the use of the phone (such as using the SGS2 while on vacation in Ireland, to transfer files from my camcorder to an HDD via an OTG cable and a powered USB hub). However - in this case all I wanted was to save buying the dongle as I will rarely use it.
Too expensive, too complicated - Got it! thanks! Will buy a dongle.
If you really like recycling devices and have an old router lying around, you could try setting up a wireless bridge rather than getting a dongle.
Hello guys, our tablets support connection to Internet with an ethernet cable. So I bought an (rj45) ethernet adapter(micro usb>ethernet) from eBay to have access to the 100mbps Internet connection of my university's library. Them problem is that when I try to connect it to the Internet at home, my tablet (pro 8.4) says "the usb adapter has connected" (the same with the usb otg adapter), the led of the adapter lights up, BUT it doesn't connect to the Internet. Do I have to buy the official Samsung adapter?
You shouldn't need to buy the official one.
I bought this one http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Ethernet-Network-Chromebook-Specific/dp/B00484IEJS/ and it works when I use the stock ROM.
I connect it and the greyed out text from your screen shot, turns black.
Just a guess. You might be have MAC filtering enabled at home and could be blocking access.

When I connect my laptop with the ethernet cable it works but when I connect my tablet nothing happens...I'll check MAC filtering but I think that the problem is that my tablet doesn't support the chipset of the adapter I have bought.

I'm 99.9% sure the problem is the Ethernet adaptor. But, I'm not sure why yours would work in one location and not another.
I bought a cheap one myself, maybe something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ethernet-RJ45-Network-Adaptor-Converter/dp/B003Q85EEA and it didn't work at all, when testiung it at home.
I'd recommend spending more money on an adaptor, ideally from a retailer that excepts returns easily, i.e. Amazon. Should you need to return it.
I'd recommend the "Plugable" adaptor.
Good luck

I will buy a new one and I hope it works. Thanks for answering my questions.
My pleasure
I use one of these:

Originally bought for my MK808b android stick and works fine on TabPRO.
I have faced a big problem with WiFi signal last time when I used Shield in internet coffee, I thought this is a problem with coffee shop not my tablet , but ilwhen I went back home I have faced same issue with my router even I can browse the internet in my laptop but I cannot do anything with my tablet, so I am planning to use Ethernet to Micro-USB 2.0 adaptor so I can connect my tablet to the router via wire.
I looked on Amazon, but I don't know what product I have to go with ...
Any suggestions guys ...??
I use this adapter personally:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RM3KXAU
Worked right out of the box with the Shield Tablet and I haven't had any issues with it. Also fits securely into the Micro USB port, which is always a plus.
Do yourself a favour and use a USB OTG Y cable, then you can use USB stuff and charge your Tablet at the same time.
Something like: http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Player-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00CXAC1ZW
Then just get your preferred USB - Ethernet adapter.
Thanks 4 the info dude. Just what i needed.

I thought I would take a moment and share what I have experienced recently with my home network connection.
I got a new Internet service provider since the local one I was using had too many dropped connections and my job depends on being online. But at least the modem was in the office and I could use an Ethernet cable to connect to my desktop computer to the Internet without using WIFI. This has not been the case with my new connection. The modem was in the living room. So I had to find a way to connect my desktop computer using wifi. This meant I had to buy a stick-like device and plug it into a USB port as a sort of antenna
But I had issues with this. Sometimes the connection dropped. After a while I have resorted to having an Ethernet cable go from my living room to my office. And this is where I am now. Any thoughts? It works. And, as the expression goes, "if it is not broken, don't fix it" but maybe I should be looking ahead to a better solution.
I was thinking about a wifi booster. But, on the other hand, is there nothing better or faster than having a direct and hard wired connection?
