Hi everyone, is there an Ethernet adapter for note 10.1? or is there any simple solution to connect to a cable-only network?
For example some hotel doesn't have wifi in their rooms, only Ethernet cables, how can I connect my note 10.1 to internet?
Thank you in advance for your kind help

Haven't tested the ethernet adapter but it got great reviews and say works
I use this, it works great!

I use it as a wireless router only, I don't use the music functions.
It's a bit of a pain in the ass to set up. And whatever you do, don't accept any updates from Apple once you do get it setup. As is typical of Apple, in my experience, the software is not that easy to set up correctly. ( you have to set it up with a PC or Mac before you can use it.) They make manual setup very difficult by using non standard terms. Follow the automated set up procedure, it's very difficult to get the manual setup correct. If you accept an update from Apple, half the time it'll ruin whatever set up you do have. So once you get it running, don't screw with it. However, once it is running, it's great.
All look nice and with great portability, thank you all very much for the suggestions.
I will definitely try them out at local shops.
PS: just got my note 10.1 yesterday and loving it. Also own an S7S, but note 10.1 is much lighter and generates almost no heat compared to S7S. Of course it is less powerful but all I was doing with S7S are note-taking and sketching, and note 10.1 covers both fairly well.

On the ethernet adapter, There's an updated review:
Dear Solomo1,
We really want our adapter to work for you also
Please notice in the description of the item, we advise buyers this Ethernet Adapter (any ethernet adapter for that matter) does not work with Samsung Tabs.
This adapter does work with the ASUS Transformer tablets. If you contact us at the email address of our web site shown on the product packaging, we will talk you through getting it working with your ASUS. The problem is usually just changing a setting in your tablet or your router. If, however, we learn the unit you received is defective, we will gladly send you a replacement immediately.
Regards,
Bobj

Apparently it doesn't work with Samsung Tabs, but it does work for the ASUS.
Maybe contacting the company can help?

Noob question about Samsung Tabs but Is it software issue or hardware?
Solution to your woes
Had the same issue with my Galaxy notes the best solution is a $20 >>> Mini 802.11N 150M WiFi Wireless Router Access Point AP <<< from ebay
do a search with the above text
small works perfectly and can do PPPOE.... Much better than usb to Ethernet anyway.
Response
the following ANDROID tablets can not use this adapter: Nexus 7-II, Samsung tablets, ACER, Lenovo, Sony, Coby-Kyros. Toshiba models "Thrive7", AT200" (ExciteLE) will not work with this adapter.
Any news on this front? Anyone testing anything?
Hi Friends,
I am from India, Recently we bought galaxy note 800 and its amazing. it works great and we love using it. Now what is bothering me is that we have TATA photon plus postpaid USB dongle in our home. We use it with our laptops and desktops. Now I want to connect the same to my galaxy note and access the internet, when I am outside. I know that we have sim card provision for that purpose but as this photon is provided by my office , I wanna use it instead buying a new SIM. So friends please let me know if we can use this USB dongle with my Tablet and if yes, How do I do that ? I have even got the 30 pin to USB connector for my tab and tried connecting the dongle, but after connecting nothing happens. Only the blue LED on my dongle keeps blinking as it does when it connects to internet over my laptop, but I cannot connect to internet.
Help me guys and thanks in advance.
I do not think it will support it but you can test it you need the connector to USB converter should get it for around 100 rs in the local market use it and check whether it detects it or not if it does you are in luck if it does not then you have to look at an alternative anyways it will look ugly why dont buy a prepaid card all the providers provide 1gb for 250
No Data card does not work using an OTG cable just tried it
The dongles need drivers to work. On the laptop or pc it generally installs them as part of the setup process however as this is a windows app it won't work on an android tablet. I know dongles have been got to work on other tablets, the Acer Iconia A500 comes to mind but there was a lot of work by the devs to get them working and then it was only certain dongles....
No the drivers for dongles are part of Linux or Unix like keyboard or mouse but it is detected as an high voltage device and hence it does not take it. older version of Linux kernels use to not support dongles but newer version do support it
Hello,
I know that there are many many WiFi hotspots, and Bluetooth tethering options to use LTE from my phone to provide an internet connection of my tablets. However, running three radios just to get internet on the one device that I want to use seems a little overkill, and not particularly energy-efficient. What I'm looking for is an app, and a USB cable or dongle to connect my LG G3 to my Asus Memo 8 and/or Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014ed. That way I am only using one radio (LTE on my phone) to get a data connection to the internet, and the link between my phone and tablets is an efficient USB data connection.
Thanks for any help,
Misha
Dear All,
I have a number of Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 tablets being used as wall mounted kiosks running a browser.
Currently most devices simply run using WiFi or Sim (though we are looking to remove Sim from being used) would I be able to get internet to the tablet using a USB Ethernet Adapter?
Any help given would be greatly appreciated.

Hello.
I recently came into possession of an LG G5 Android phone, T-Mobile variant H830. I was planning to use it for software development, and I was wondering if there's a way to get it to connect to the internet using my ADSL connection. I'm fairly new to the wonderful world of Android, so please bear with me.
I realize Wi-Fi is the path of least resistance... but it's not the best option in this particular house and I have a fine Ethernet network just sitting there waiting to be used. Also, my old Windows Phone (ducks) is able to use it just fine.
I have a USB type C hub (a Microsoft HD-500 display dock) and a small collection of USB to Ethernet adapters (Realtek RTL8153, ASIX AX8872B). Unfortunately, the LG G5 has no interest in recognizing any of them.
I've also played around with reverse tethering to my PC, but apparently it requires root access to even work, and even after that it doesn't even work very well.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work? Should I be looking into flashing LineageOS? Or maybe I just have the wrong phone?
Thanks.
Today's progress: I played with an app called ReverseTethering, which works by establishing a VPN connection to its host PC over an ADB-controlled USB pipe. Most apps seem fine with it. However, the Google Play Store insists on using Wi-Fi to download apps and won't recognize a reverse-tethered connection. It does resume in-process downloads over the connection, but won't initiate new ones. My conclusion is that this is an app bug, and that it is checking for Wi-Fi when it really should simply be checking for a valid connection.
There's an app called Fake Wifi that will apparently hack apps into thinking their connection is over Wi-Fi when it's not. However, this app needs a framework that requires a rooted device. So, back to square one.
(NB: I'd prefer not to root my device for security reasons.)
Today's progress: connecting a Sharkk UH-SKRJ11 (RealTek RTL8153 chipset) directly to the phone using a USB C-to-A adapter works. A couple of apps seem iffy about it, including the Google Maps offline downloader, but the Google Play Store and the LG updater work. So this is probably as good as it gets without major surgery.
This suggests that the problem was in fact the Microsoft HD-500 display dock. It would charge the phone, but the phone didn't seem to recognize it as a USB hub.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a USB Type C hub that works with this phone? Ideally I'd like to use Ethernet and charge at the same time.
Hello,
I work on the desktop team at a company and we started using Dell's DW-15 USB-C docks since Dell is phasing out the E-port. Out of curiosity, I plugged my phone into one a couple of months ago and everything but the display output works. We also have Dell 96NPS USB-C to Ethernet adapters that work fine with the G5.
I have this here.
Bought from eBay. Works on both G5 and V20. Should work on any phone that supports SlimPort.
I have connected it to the phone with display and various peripherals. Did not try ethernet dongle though.
I'm a bit puzzled that the Microsoft dock did not function right. I though that too was simply a display/slim-port design. Or maybe it's only the hub/otg functionality that's unavailable?
@askermk2000: thanks for the note. Any idea what the model number is on that device?
The Microsoft dock situation is quite odd. Before fully patching the OS (the phone arrived with the March security patch, I think) it wouldn't see anything at all on the dock (which has a Surface Ethernet Adapter aka RTL8153 plugged in). After patching, it suddenly started working, and working fine. Then after patching up to latest, it sort of half-works. It connects and data flows, but the phone pops a "Connecting" message for a minute every so often, as if it were pulling a new DHCP address or something. When connected directly to the Ethernet adapter, things work fine.
(And when I say fine, I mean mostly fine. Every now and then I plug in the adapter and nothing works. Disconnecting and reconnecting sometimes works. Changing USB connection settings sometimes works. Sometimes rebooting works. <shrug>)
@Keynesian
I'm sorry but there is not a single marking on that thing. A truly generic device.
That exact one seems to have become rare now. This looks like the successor, though it has one less usb port than mine.
Here's a listing of mine.
There are many generic types, with or without hdmi, one or more usb etc
One option with aluminum housing, 1 usb 1 hdmi and usb-c power input should cost no more than about $10
I think I got mine for around that (which is a more expensive model), but I got lucky and found a lonely expiring auction. Saved maybe $20
Weird about that dock of yours. Hopefully you'll have better experience with another one.
If I had an ethernet dongle I'd try to confirm if it works with or without the dock on my H850, but that could also depend on the type of chipset and driver used (and LG's flavor of the month it seems).
Just ordered one of these off Ebay. We'll see how it goes in a month:
