Hi ,
my A510's Wifi only works "properly" when I'm at 1M max from the router -----> I figure it's an A510 hw fault .
I'd like to get around this by using a USB wifi dongle .
What would a suggested route to solve this be ?
I have tried using a few dongles with an OTG cable.
PPP widget realizes the dongle is there but I get no further .
I suppose I need to add drivers to the system - how ?
Alternatively I'll have to get a Wifi Bridge Client Wireless Connector ......

Does anyone know if the new host mode interface in 3.1 supports a USB Ethernet adapter? I'd like to be able to use one of these when I'm traveling and at a hotel that only has wired connections.

I wouldn't think so you would probably need some proprietary drivers to make the adapter work
Why not go with a small travel router? It's one more thing to carry but would satisfy the lan line only issue.
This one got some good reviews, not too pricey:

What about other uses? I'd love to have a usb serial adapter and a usb ethernet adapter so I can use the xoom for adminning devices and such.
linux drivers
Android uses a normal linux kernel, so anything supported by linux will be supported. I have used an external wifi, ethernet and usb-serial with an Android phone.
Hey everyone !
So here's the problem : I've got a Nexus 7 + Galaxy S2 I727R that I'd like to use at work. I could tether the connection from my S2 to my tablet and use that but I'm not on unlimited data plan. I also know I can share my PC connection via Bluetooth but that'd need a specific software to be installed, in the lines of stuff like BlueSoleil. Considering I have no admin rights at workplace, is there any alternative that would permit me to share the PC connection via a Bluetooth dongle without installing a software ? The BT dongle is detected AND installed via Windows 7 but there is no BT icons in the bottom-right corner and there's no built-in BT-software on the computer.
I did my research on the PortableApps forum, which would be a decent option but I can't seem to find anything...
Anyone had any luck sharing Internet over BT on a workplace PC ?
Thanks.
P.S : Remember, no admin rights.
Sorry you can't use a BT dongle without some sort of bluetooth software installed
Yes there are bluetooth dongles which are plug and play, which don't need installing drivers, see these ones for example
BLUETOOTH ADAPTER DONGLE PC LAPTOP-PLUG "N" PLAY - UK
Tiny Plug & Play Bluetooth 2.0 USB Dongle 100m range
Mini Bluetooth Dongle for Computers and Laptops - Plug N Play Transfer Files
Problem is all of them support Bluetooth 2.0 not 2.1+EDR, please advise and please help find a bluetooth dongle which is plug and play and is designed for bluetooth 2.1+EDR
Thing is, even with the bluetooth dongle working you won't be able to share Internet connection through ICS without admin rights. If anyone has a workaround on this, it would be appreciated!! I'd like to use my S2 more at work, but with 250mb / month it's left unused most of the day =/

Good Day!
Hereby with a problem I become mad
I had a Samsung J7 SM-J730F with what I believe is a faulty wifi (board has little corrosion where wifi should be place)
I have reset back to factory, and everything seems working except the wifi,
phone and 3G/4G also works flawlessly
So, I though, I will connect it to some land line trough a OTG wifi module, or wire-cable, or to the computer (as we use to do years and years ago) and update all SO, or when I would like to download something big
For daily use, phone-data is enough
but I can get it to work,
I have try
- Bluetooth pairing
- a micro usb and a usb wifi dongle
- even a cable Micro USB - Ethernet RJ45 (j)
( at amazon : Ugreen-30219-Ethernet-Adaptador-negro/dp/B00WM9LUN8 )
nothing seems to give connectivity to my phone,
anything else I could do ??
Hi guys. I'm getting stuck with this problem. I don't have a good house network (my isp is terrible) so I started using my Smartphone (huawei nova 5t) to play with my xbox on online games. Until now i've been using the Hotspot (wifi),but it's instable and it pings a lot. So I was wondering how could I use a cable to use my LTE connection on my xbox via ETHERNET using the USB Thetering . I bought from amazon an adapter that's Type C-Ethernet. It's a really good one,but when I plug it to my phone,my Huawei doesn't let me use the USB thetering,I can't activate it. So I was asking if there is a way,an external app or something that could make me do that. My idea is LTE---> Otg Type C Ethernet---> Xbox one. I found nothing on the internet about this,all the threads are about using that OTG to connect my phone to a router and using the router internet,and it works perfectly that way,but I wanna use the cable in the opposite way. I wanna share my smartphone connection with my xbox. Can I do that with that otg or it's just impossible..? Thanks forward.
Hi there. I need the same thing! Sorry to bump late but at least there's only 2 of us.
I think it's called
REVERSED TETHERING via an ETHERNET dongle. (or HOST mode?)
It should be technically possible because ethernet dongles are supported by a lot of ROMs but this function is usually going in the other direction.
Tetrd is another useful search term.
Did you get further with this since you last posted this?

If you can put a windows device between the set up, you can use the program Connectify to make your windows machine a router and choose the ethernet out and plug it into the xbox. And then usb tether the phone into the computer. Connecitfy works with speedify too so if you have multiple hotspots you can bond them together and get a more reliable connection.
Or, I suppose, a Raspberry Pi
I have a question.
After an upgrade of my head unit with a PX6, Androi 9. I have no working WIFI or Bluetooth. The question is, is it possible to connect the headunit via USB-Ethernet adapter direct via UTP-cable to my router in-house. I can realize a test setup for the unit in my office, but am not sure if this will work? An experience with this setup?
I have a MTCD/E unit (MTCE_LM) with a PX6 RK3399. I have a USB to UTP connector, which I tried on my Android (11) tablet and my Xiami phone. There it connects via the UTP cable (after disabling WIFI and 4G), and gets a IP adress form my (DHCP) router. Hope somebody tried it on the head unit with
What happened when you tried it
Did not rty it yet. HAve to wait for my upgrade unit. And have to create testsetup in my homeoffice. My car is not reachable with an UTP cable Will let you know when I have results.
You can use a USB Modem like the HUAWEI like the e5573 and use it like a ethernet cable. I am not 100% sure if you can connect any ethernet wires, just try.
Another option is wipe and reinstall firmware, like hal9k one to solve wifi problem.
I have two PX5 head units here that work just fine with any USB to LAN adapter. I don't see why it wouldn't work on PX6.
Thanks. Tried it and mine works fine also.
