Ethernet tethering - General Questions and Answers

Hi looking to resolve a problem that I can't find an answer to by using Google
I have a tablet running android 11 and have connected a USB c to Ethernet adapter. I have activated wifi and the tablet connects to my local office network. I have activated Ethernet tethering and plugged in a LAN cable to the adapter and the external device (ASIC computer).
The tablet is basically being used to provide wifi connectivity for the device.
I can log into the dashboard and it shows that the ASIC computer is connected and all is working normally BUT I have not found a way to log into the device.... mainly because I have not found a way to locate it's IP address.
I want to be able to configure the firmware on the device from the tablet. It is possible to do this by connecting the device to the router via a lan cable. I then find the IP address on my PC, but I would like to also use the tablet. Thanks

Here is a link to show the set up: https://photos.app.goo.gl/iFsKNWniz2DiDpHD7

Bumped! still trying to get an answer....

PS3 online via a smartphone?

Is there anyway to connect a 360/wii/or PS3 online via a smartphone?
I read somewhere that you could use your phone as a wireless router or connect the phone to a pc with usb (active sync and internett share) and then a tp cable from the pc to the console to get internett. Can any one help me with this?
(I have a free dataplan and Turbo 3G)
Tnx for the reply's guys *rolleyes*
I found it to be quite simple. Connect your PDA/smartphone to your PC and start internett sharing. Once that working start a ICS on your pc (Internet Connection Sharing).
You do that by :
1.Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, clicking Network and Sharing Center, and then clicking Manage network connections.
2.Right-click the connection that you want to share, and then click Properties.Administrator permission required If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3.Click the Sharing tab, and then select the Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection check box.
Note: The Sharing tab will not be available if you have only one network connection.
And then you Connect one end of your Ethernet cable to your PC's Ethernet port. Connect the other end to the Ethernet port on the back of your Xbox 360/PS3 console.
DONE
You can now play online.
Did you use a crossover ethernet cable ?

Wired internet via USB tether?

Hello, I'm at work and here is only wired internet, so i wanted to ask, is there any chance, that i can connect usb to pc that has internet and stole some network to my tablet?
I don't know any way to do that, but I use Connectify software on my netbook PC at work which then lets you connect wireless devices to it. The PC just needs to have a wireless and wired connection, it then becomes a hotspot for other devices. Cheers.

CradlePoint with Sensation?

I tried to follow this tutorial to use a CradlePoint CTR350 router with the Sensation
http://www.cradlepoint.com/about/blog/an-android-powered-cradlepoint-router
I do not see the "Mobile Broadband Connect" USB connection mode. I did see a USB Tether option, which asked me Mac of PC and I figured the router would be more like a PC and I chose PC. The phone would not share its internet connection with the router.
Has anyone been able to use a Sensation with a CradlePoint router, and if so, which router and what settings did you do on the phone?
Thanks
Any comments?
Thanks in advance.
I really would like to be able to connect the Sensation to a Cradlepoint router so it can be a backup Internet source if my wireline Internet service is down. Any ideas on getting Sensation to work with CradlePoint?

I had a quick look at the web site you gave. If I understand it, it's a USB -> WIFI router. Such that the Cradlepoint WIFI routes via USB and 3G (phone) to the Internet.
Assuming that's the case I can't see anything in particular why it shouldn't work.
Can you use USB tethering to connect a single PC to the Internet via USB/3G ? (If this works and my assumptions are correct the phone is working fine).
Do you need to configure the Cradlepoint device in any way ?
In the absence of this, the phone can act as a WiFI hotspot, does this not give you enough connectivity to the Internet?

I actually have Mac and I often use the wifi tethering. I only tried USB tethering with the Cradlepoint. The first time the phone asked me Mac or PC and I chose PC, thinking Cradlepoint would be similar to PC. I don't know how to get it to ask PC or Mac for USB tethering again. I would like to be able to connect an Ethernet cable to Cradlepoint to get to the Internet. That would be for the scenario my home Internet is down, then I would want to connect my main router WAN to the Ethernet of the cradlepoint and get Internet through the cell phone.
Anyone have any success in using a cradlepoint?

need a way for a pc connected via android usb tethering to connect with other device

So i have a pretty complicated network setup right now due to my normal home internet dying and technicians never coming to fix it, so i'm now using my phone on 4G, use the wifi hotspot on that phone, go downstairs, use another phone to connect to that hotspot and use usb tethering to get internet on my pc.
The issue right now is that i can't seem to be able to communicate with my desktop pc (connected by usb tether) with my laptop (connected on wifi hotspot)
any idea on what software i could use to fix that?

Can't access home network when phone is usb tethered?

My android phone is usually on wifi at home. My laptop has some wifi chip/antennae issues so I have to either connect to the network via a lan port or, alternatively, use android phone usb tethering. If I am connected via the latter, on the laptop I observe that I cannot connect to the router network - I cannot even access the router login page.
I don't know a simple term for this feature. I guess it works like a network switch. But is there any app that, when enabled would help me connect my laptop (when usb-tethered) to the wifi network?
