I'm searching for Tv box models that has a OTG port that is USB 3.0 and has a gigabit ethernet. Can you guys point me to those models? I'm having hard time to find as there are many announcements that are not showing the information about the box having OTG support.
I need this functionality for a custom solution I'm trying to test, it would be ideally a gigabit connection and also the USB 3.0 on the OTG port, but if it's at least Gigabit + usb 2.0 it could work.

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.
To begin with, hello to you all on the forums!
I have a question and I would appreciate any suggestions on how to progress.
I have a Z1 Compact (D5503) that I would like connected to Internet via RJ-45 and a pretty much standard Wi-Fi router (with ethernet outs, of course).
What I decided to do was get an OTG cable, a USB ethernet adapter, and just plug it all in together: router -> RJ45 -> ethernet adapter -> OTG cable -> D5503. That didn't work. I thought maybe the adapter is lacking power, so I used a USB hub - that didn't work either (with 2 different hubs and 2 different OTG cables in all possible configurations). The phone seems not to be aware of the ethernet adapter at all (when trying with a hub, it's either only charging, or charging and informing about a PC connection, depending on what I plug the hub into - but the adapter seems not to be detected at all, or I'm unaware of where to look; no internet connection either; without a hub, nothing happens when I plug in).
I have seen on this forum, and some other places on the net, that such connection should be possible. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing some steps in the phone configuration?
I know I can just use Wi-Fi for that connection, and I will if there's no solution - I would much prefer a wired option, however.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
Hi,
I'm trying to use an android device with a USB C connector on a local wired network while still keeping it powered.
In the past I've achieved this just fine on an older device with a microUSB port and a microUSB Hub that had power + OTG USB to which I attached an USB to Ethernet Connector.
Currently I've tried using an Anker Premium USB-C Hub with Ethernet and Power Delivery.
A few months ago this hub would only power the device, but Ethernet/USB would not work.
With the latest updates (Android 7.1.1) either Ethernet works, but the device doesn't charge(if I connect the hub first, then power the hub)
or the device charges but Ethernet doesn't work (if I power the hub first, then connect Ethernet).
With the micro-USB Connector I've also spotted a pinout diagram that shows to provide power + OTG here:
http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/34741/can-an-android-tablet-serve-as-usb-host-and-be-charged-simultaneously-through-a
But I couldn't find an USB C equivalent pinout.
Any hints/tips on how I could both power and USB C connected Android device and keep it connected on an Ethernet Network ?
Thank you,
George
I have a keyboard and a mouse that both have their own Bluetooth-USB adapter.
I also have a new Android STB that has only one Enthernet and HDMI connector.
So therefore I wonder if it is possible to connect them through a USB hub with Enthernet-port via Enthernet,
so that the Blutooth adapters can be used.
Hello, I recent bought a 5-in-1 USB C HUB with the AX88179 ASIX Chip bult-in. I have a 250mbps ISP Internet speed and everything is setting to work at the max it can. Cables and Routers specific for it. Well, I tested the HUB in my computers and laptops, all usbs ports and eterneth working, eterneth adapter in Gigabit and giving me my full ISP speed. Just to mention, my desktop is a Windows 10 and my laptop a Macbook pro.
But, the problem is when i try to use in any Android device - Android 11 and 10 - USB ports work well, but the Eterneth is being capped to 100mpbs even the router showing 1000mpbs for all LAN ports.
I am using the same cables and router for desktop or laptop.
What can be happend ? Is there any fix ?
