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

Ok so I do a fair bit of IT support work these days and thought about all the nice little possibilities it would open up if I could connect my Touch Pro to the network or other devices directly via ethernet.
If you can get USB Network dongles these days, I don't see why you can't have a mini-usb one, but I don't see many around. Does anyone know of a product like this?
If there isn't one, perhaps you could ues a regular USB Network stick/dongle, and use a USB to mini-usb converter. Then I guess it would be a case of someone making a driver or app, right?
Any solutions or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.
Have the same problem.
Lately I was wondering about the same thing. I've found some USB to RJ45 converters, and was wondering about drivers or app, have you finger something out?

Take a good look at any USB cable: the two ends are different. One end is for a USB Host (desktopPC/Laptop/Mac). The other end is for a USB **Device** (thumb drive, wireless network dongle, **YOUR PHONE**). Trying to plug two USB *Devices* together would be like trying to plug two USB thumbdrives together to swap files... or more acutately, pluging a USB Network dongle to your thumbdrive to access it over teh internets. ooh, it would be sweet if it were possible.
well that's a bummer. I was thinking that the phone can act as a host when you use the internet connection sharing....
yeah, different kind of host. Actually trying to get that second type of host working myself (Internet Sharing): The USB connection is the bad guy here, by design it's either host or device.
Now you migth find *bluetooth* RJ45 device, but why not just buy a wireless router for your network and use your Fuze's Wifi capabilities? If you plugged a USB Wifi dongle into your desktop, that should be enough to use your fuze's wifi to connect... activsync style. don't ask me how to use it via Internet Sharing, still trying that.
I'm thinking about getting a Shield, but I've never bothered with wifi connectivity on my desktop PC. Can I still use the Shield as a USB gamepad? What about the streaming functionality?
Thanks for any answers!
Its not immediately clear *exactly* what you are asking here.
You can stream to the PC as long as you are on the same LAN, so if you connect the shield via wifi to your router and the PC has an ethernet connection to the router then that will work. Or you can use a USB-OTG adaptor in the shield with a USB ethernet adaptor to connect the shield to a router via ethernet too. If your desktop doesnt meet the requirements you can use splashtop instead of the official NVidia stuff.
The USB port on the shield though, well, its a regular android device. Its no different from plugging your phone into the PC. You can't use the shield as a USB gamepad like that. Best off just buying the wired version of the xbox controller if you want a PC gamepad, they aren't the cheapest (but they are far from the most expensive) but they are reasonably good quality and well supported
Just as a side note regarding Ethernet over OTG cable. Some apps (like the Play Store) won't connect unless you are using WiFi or mobile connection.
It's not the Shield's fault, just the app when it enumerates the network connectivity.
So far I only found the Play Store to ignore the network connection over Ethernet, same is true on all the devices I tested so far: TrimSlice (Tegra 2), TF201 (Tegra 3), My Touch 4G, Samsung Galaxy SIII and the Shield.
The Trimslice is the only one with a dedicated hardware Ethernet over PCIe, the others I used an OTG cable and hooked a USB HUB with Ethernet built in.
I don't stream PC games but when Nvidia was demoing the Shield's streaming capabilities they were using an Ethernet dongle so they didn't have to fight for WiFi connections from the attendees at the conferences they were presenting at.
To clarify, I was hoping I could simply plug in a Shield to my USB port and use it as a USB gamepad, but by the sounds of it that doesn't seem very likely.
Can't you just connect ps3 controllers to it over bluetooth? If you can't do that yet I'm sure you will be able to

No, you cannot unfortunately. If that is what you require, buy a wired xbox controller.
When you set a device to USB tether, it adds another USB profile that creates a network connection over the USB - with some hacking it might be possible to use this connection. I think adb can also do some kind of port-forwarding to allow communication between the device and the computer.
It might be possible to get something working, both for controller input and streaming, but not sure how difficult this would be or what the performance would be.
But I don't think any of this will work very easily out of the box unfortunately!

I recently purchased the Lenovo S6000L tablet for the purpose of traveling. I wanted a large screen (10.1) tablet that could do the basic functions of a laptop, without having to lug around my 17.3 inch HP laptop to and from work/etc. My issue is, I work for a company that will not allow us to access their WiFi (security reasons), but we can use any LAN. I purchased an OTG cable and a USB to Ethernet converter. To my surprise, my Lenovo tablet wouldn't recognize the converter, thus, not allowing me to access the internet via the OTG cable. After that failure, I decided to root my tablet, which I did. Even with the root I can't seem to tweak the tablet to allow the internet connection bridge to work. Being P/O, I decided to go a step further by flashing a custom ROM to the tablet in hope that a different ROM would read and react to the OTG setup, but I'm unable to find a ROM that would work. Well their you have it, this is my big issue. Even though those are the steps I've taken or are willing to take, doesn't mean It's the only thing I'm looking to do, I'm open to anything that will work. So I desperately ask, does anyone have or know of a solution for me to use a RJ45 ethernet cable on this S6000L Lenovo tablet?
P.S. I've hooked up the USB to Ethernet to my PC and it worked, so it's not faulty. I've hooked up a flash drive to my tablet via the OTG cable and that worked also, so the OTG cable works as well.

you cannot use like that because to use internet from other device to android you must use reverse tethering method and it can be done only from connecting it to a laptop or pc
so yyou cant use internet directly from lan cable to your tab
I don't want to use it from another device.

I'm not using it from another device, I'm only using it and want to use it from a router and/or directly from a modem. I only hooked the adapter to my laptop once just to verify the adapter was working.

yes i understood your question
i said there is no way to use internet in tab from lan cable
The Nexus 7 tablet does it.

Corrections for the above reply: I misread your reply. In theory, reverse tethering is the same method. A source that contains internet(PC) that you bridge to your tablet and gives it internet. The Nexus 7 is one tablet that allows you to bridge a RJ45 to the tablet for LAN access, and their are others. My best guess is it's an software issue that Lenovo has blocked, but I'm looking for a way around it. I don't know if they added anything specific to the stock that is killing that use or is it just that the adapter I purchased isn't compatible with what I believe is Linux based software. As I said, I will travel any path to victory, even if I have to flash software that's used on the Nexus 7, if possible.
Sorry for the delay, I'm at work and people keep coming to me.
Houston, I believe I have a solution to my problem!!
I have no clue why I didn't think about it earlier but all it may take to remedy my issue can be spelled with one word, Portable Wireless Router. Ok, that's 3 words, but who cares! I don't. Whenever I'm in a situation where LAN is available but WLAN isn't, I figure all I would have to do is to plug the LAN into my soon to be purchased TP-LINK TL-WR702N 150Mbps Wireless N Nano Router. And BOOM! my own private WiFi hotspot.
i have two pc s without wifi and 2 andriod phones,
how can i connect two pc s using andriod phones,
is there any way to connect like this pc(1) to andriod(via usb), pc(2) to andriod (via usb) and,andriods to wifi hotspot ?

I don't really know what you mean but yeah let's make the most out of it.
You can Thether your Wi-fi on your Android phone and then connect it using 2 USB cables or you can turn on 1 Android wi-fi hotspot and connect the 2 Computers to it.
You can also turn on 2 Android wi-fi hotspots because connecting 2 pc on 1 Hotspot will slow down your Internet connection.
Well it depends on what you want to do exactly, cause android phones dont really support this. You can tether your mobile data connection to one PC via USB and use it to have internet, but the only way you can actually really have 2 pcs see each other through an android phone is through the WiFi hotspot, so if your computers don't have a WiFi card, this wont work. And plugging one phone to a PC and the other to the other PC will only give you internet on both computers and that's it. If you truly want to have both PC comunicate with each other without WiFi, the only option that's viable and won't cost too much is buying a crossover ethernet cable (cable with the transmit and receive wires inverted on one end) and plugging it in both LAN cards. That way both PCs will see each other and you will be able to share files on them, and you can even plug one android phone on one of the PCs to give it internet and share the internet connection with the second PC though the LAN card and crossover cable. Other than that you can also buy either a switch or a router and plug both computers on it with normal ethernet cables, but that'll cost you a bit more than juste a crossover cable. Also, note than you can connect ur android phone on the router if it has WiFi built in, but you wont be able to share the internet connection via the router. You will also need to plug it with USB and share internet via the computer which has the phone plugged in. Hope this helps even if it wasn't quite what you're asking, but it's the only way to do what you want without having to go all out trying to create custom scripts and all and risk bricking your android phones just to connect 2 computers together when you can just take a normal ethernet cable u have lying around and hack it up to convert it to a crossover without spending a single dollar if you don't want to actually buy a new crossover cable which might cost like 5$.
actually i want to play multiplayer games, i have wifi router in my home, but no wifi cards in both the computers, is there any option to connect both the computers using andriod phones,, like computers connect to phones(via usb), phones to wifi router ?
First activate internet on ur pc with usb tetharing, and do same job in second pc then try to connect both pc with any type of FTP software

Hello all,
I'm looking for a USB-C to Ethernet adapter for the Mate 9. I've been searching online to no avail. Can't find one guaranteed to work on Android 7.0. Any suggestion?
Thanks
I've got a Belkin one permanently plugged in on my desk, I'll plug it into my Mate 9 tomorrow and let you know.
Can't see any way to configure it anywhere, and the only indication it's working is a tiny indicator in the status bar, but it does indeed work. Can browse the web and access network shares while in airplane mode.
Thanks, I will give it a try.

Literally just plugged it in, and within moments it received an IP address and was connected.
Just tried it with my P10 Plus, same thing.
USB-C to RJ45 using phone as uplink via cellular to wired client
Just wondering about operation in the reverse direction. Would anyone be so kind as to try it with their USB-C to Ethernet dongle for me?
My use case is to have the phone connected to cellular data, and share the internet connection to a wired computer connected to the RJ45 port.
thanks
Neil
Is there a solutions ?
I connect my Mate 9 over ethernet but i have no connection.
Airplane Mode is enabled.

Hey, did you find out anything about this, I want to do the same thing
Not sure if you can, but wouldn’t it just be easier to do it over WiFi with hotspot? A USB WiFi adaptor for the computer is really cheap if it doesn’t have one.
