[Q] [Tasker] Ethernet Control - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a MK808 which I have connected to a usb to ethernet converter. I boot directly into XBMC, but the ethernet connection can be a little flakey. Sometimes on boot it connects to the ethernet fine but other times it doesn't and I need to go into setting and switch the ethernet off and back on and that works.
My idea is to have tasker switch the ethernet off and on just after booting so that I can be assured it would work every time, but I can't see any ethernet option in tasker does anyone know a way of doing this.
Thanks
BW

[Q] Is there a way to change network adapter speed and duplex on android?

Hello, i have one old aliuminium ethernet cable, when i connect laptop and router using this cable I have to change network adapter speed to 10mbps full duplex. When it's on auto (or any other setting) i get "cable unpluged" message. But I want to connect router with android tv box (geniatech m1 atv1000), but magic doen't happen. Actualy it's not quite a router it's a cheap chineese wifi repeater , and it doesn't have allmost any settings, so i'm wondering is there a way to change androids network adapter speed and duplex?
I cannot change the cable, because it's betonated inside of the wall..

[Request] Ethernet Support from Note 10.1 pro, wirh the Adapter ( Usb, Ethernet)...

Hi People......i search a long time for an adapter, that can charge and use Usb on the Note 10.1 2014 (p600) at the same time.....no docking station do this, and all other adapters don't, cause the pins are channeled otherwise than on other devices......don't know why....but the adpater from Note Pro 10.1 with ethernet does.....but if i connect an ethernet Cable to it, nothing happens, cause (i think), Android has no Protocol to give a dhcp Adress to an ethernet device, and set the wifi Adapter off....
l found a tool for Nok 3, but I'm not sure, that will work on a P600. But on a mobile , it will not be needed as on a tablet ...
Anyone got an Idea to convert the ethernet drivers from Note Pro to the P600 kitKat ?
Sony for my ugly English
If you're rooted, this app should work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xda.usbhost.test
I've never tried it with the Samsung branded ethernet adapter from the PRO series tablets, but I've used it in combination with an OTG cable and a generic USB to ethernet adapter, so it should work.
Thx a lot man......by the way, this is the same app, i wrote in the OP, i read about in the Note 3 Forum......i try and report
Result. ...is really strange.......the app accept the adapter, and get an ip adress...... ( it's a network Connection, coming from a router)....status gets to enabled, but i get no Internet Connection. ...strange.....i guess, Wifi have to be off. I also try to set the ip adress manually, also Router and Subnet Mask, but the same result, if i open a browser, no connection to the internet. Super SU Version is 2.02 .....any ideas?

USB Ethernet confirmed working

Just received my Nexus Player today, and I can confirm that there is some level of driver/hardware support for USB Ethernet adapters over OTG. Hardware-wise, I have an OTG cable attached to a D-Link USB 2.0 hub, and a Cisco 10/100 USB Ethernet adapter attached to the hub.
Some notes about the behavior:
The IP address configuration happens automatically if you're using DHCP on your network, but there are no options in the initial configuration to enter static IP addressing. If you're unboxing and setting up your Player for the first time, just make sure to have your USB Ethernet adapter plugged in before plugging in power.
Aside from lacking configuration options, everything appears to work flawlessly, and the Player automatically downloaded an update from Google on first boot.
Hope this helps.
Good to know... thanks!
I bet you can figure out the MAC address, and assign an IP address through the router. It's better that way anyway.

Wondering if a USB 3.0 hub with gigabit Ethernet will work on Nexus player.
The specs of Nexus player is USB 2.0, by connecting a USB 3.0 hub with gigabit Ethernet, will it work by capping at 480mb/s USB 2.0 transfer rate?
I doubt you would get the full 480mbps but you should be able to do better than 100mbps.

Click to expand...

i dont think it would make a difference, besides 10/100 is way enough to stream even 4k media

[Q] Configure Ethernet Adapter?

I am running stock Lollipop and have purchased an Ethernet adapter (www.amazon.com) which has been reported to work via some videos I watched on YouTube. So I turn off the Shield and plug it, turn on the Shield and watch my router. The activity LED on my router lights up for a few seconds and then turns off. I don't use DHCP so I don't know if that is an issue, but when I get into Lollipop I can't seem to find a way to configure the Ethernet adapters IP address. How do I go about configuring the IP settings?

Simultaneous Wifi and Ethernet Connection on AMLogicS802 powered device

Dear experts,
I have an issue with my Android multimedia device Orbsmart S82 which is powered by an AMLogic S802 chip. All my devices (phone, tablet, pc, NAS, orbsmart s82) are connected to the internet via Wifi.
To view HD-content on my TV, my plan was to connect my Orbsmart via ethernet cable to my NAS to receive stutter free video output. This works seamlessly. BUT: I cannot turn on Wifi and Ethernet on the Orbsmart at the same time. So each time I want to view content from my NAS, I have to go to the system settings and enable Ethernet. As Wifi gets disabled automatically by that action, I have to activate Wifi in the system settings in order to be able to view online content. But then, the ethernet interface is turned off again.
No matter what I try, only Wifi or Ethernet can be active.
Does anyone have a similar setup? What is your solution?
Thanks in advance!
In the meantime I found a possible explanation for the Orbsmart's behavior. Obviously, Android only allows one data connection at the same time per default. There seems to be a workaround if you can code. Unfortunately, I am not much of a coder...

Any suggestions to fix this without coding are much appreciated.
I found a solution. It only works for me if I connect an Android compatible USB / Ethernet Adapter. If I configure both Wifi and Ethernet manually with different subnets, I can make both work simultaneously. I use this adapter: Assmann DN-10050-1 Digitus USB network adapter.
Cheers.
