I have such an adapter https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Ether...+RJ45&qid=1682626537&sprefix=,aps,1864&sr=8-3. And unfortunately, after connecting it to the phone in the hotspot and tethering settings, the Tethering via Ethernet option is greyed out. I've set hardware acceleration in developer options, have Data Saver turned off, and set the default usb connection to tethering. The phone is new and freshly updated. The adapter definitely works, tested on the previous phone (Samsung S9+), another Samsung A5 phone and even on a Mac tablet. Is it possible that Sony is picky and I need to buy a better adapter or do you know any other tricks. I read on reddit that a friend has a 2.5GbE one that framework sell, realtek adapter and it works fine for him on SONY 1 IV
if your doing this to a pc you just use a usb cable it tethers over that
on locked down devices like consoles or something idk you might be out of luck i have never tethered a phone that way always used usb or wifi hotspot
No, as I wrote earlier with the previous phone I used and it works normally. I need to connect the car with an ENET cable (BMW).
Idk there maybe an Ethernet adapter out there that works but that is a much more niche way of doing it especially to a car
Look for Ethernet adapter that people say worked on older Sony phones if any
the way i would do it is tether phone to laptop and laptop ethernet to car

Is it possible to connect galaxy s2 and HDTV with hdmi (mhl) adapter and at the same time use the wireless (but not bluetooth) mouse and keyboard connected to galaxy s2?
(i want to use my internet connection on galaxy s2 and browse the web with mouse and keyboard, all that on the TV)
I manage to do this separately, either Full HD via MHL adapter, or using both mouse and keyboard via Micro USB to USB converter and dongle for wireless connection. Dont know how to combine those together though.
I think that bluetooth mouse and keyboard would work, but would like to know about mentioned method.
Maybe self powered USB would help?
thx
Wireless mouse and keyboard will obviously require a USB dongle to receive, so I seriously doubt that you can do this. It's not often that you get a mobile device that is capable of being a USB host, so I find it very doubtful that you could plug multiple USB devices into it at the same time.
I know you said you don't want bluetooth, but I really, REALLY believe that this won't be possible any other way.

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.
Hi,
Since i have no wireless adapter on my XBOX 360, I wanted to know if it's possible to connect the XBOX to my Galaxy S2 for network access.
I though about connecting a USB to Ethernet adapter to the S2 and connect it to the XBOX with a RJ45 cable.
Is this doable?
Thanks
Short: Not possible.
Long: The S2 won't do this 'out the box' and this would have to be a new coding venture, which would take weeks of dedicated work and there is simply no demand for this feature on an aging device so there isn't a developer on the planet who would be willing to do this. Sorry! It would be simpler to program an xbox to connect to your phone via USB docking, like a PC does. But that isn't going to happen either!
Also, if you were planning on connecting to xbox live through mobile internet then I wouldn't; the speed won't likely be very good, the ports are probably blocked by the network provider and it would use a ton of data, exceeding your 'fair use policy' rapidly. If you were planning on using your phone to bridge a connection with a landline wireless router then you're going to have to either buy a wireless adapter for your 360, or a really long RJ45 cable!!
Hello Everyone,
I have my phone rooted on 47A with mobile hotspot / tethering working.
My question is has anyone found a device that goes from micro USB port on the phone to a Ethernet port and wired from the Ethernet port to a switch or router? or better yet it also has the ability to charge the phone at the same time?
What I want to do is, if my main ISP for my house goes down. I want have a Dual WAN router fail over to a connection where I plug my phone in with USB tethering and get the house internet up and running as temporary fix. I know there as Wi-Fi devices out there that will work in client mode off my phones Wi-Fi but I want to be able to hard wire everything for the best speed possible.
Thank you
I found something in the link below from HP. Not sure if it will work to charge my phone, but its the idea.

Hi!
I don't have much to suggest in this area. I do know that USB->ethernet adapters exist, and you could physically hook one up through a USB OTG adapter. I don't think it would work that simply, but who knows. I definitely doubt such a setup would charge your device.
The adapter you found sounds promising for both working and charging, since it specifically mentions Android.
Charge it up.
Use the integrated micro USB port to connect your tablet’s AC adapter and charge your tablet while you work.[1]
[1] Charging supported on Android™ tablets only.
