Are there any hi-perf Ethernet rj45 cable adapters for the 7a that work?
Are there any general hubs with pass through charging that also include good perf rj45 cable Ethernet for the 7a?
What kind of performance can be expected for such Ethernet adapters?

I was curious if a USB ethernet adapter would work. I found an old no name brand (CP Ethernet adapter and plugged it in. it worked.
Good to know. Care to crack open the adapter and let us know what chipset it is using?
Hi,
I'm a new surface User and I'm looking for a dockingstation. I need an Ethernet Port, dvi Port and some USB Ports.
Does anybody have a dockingstation like this with his Surface RT?
Best regards
Sebastian

I don't believe that such a thing exists. There are various items available that can expand your RT's capabilities. For instance, this http://www.amazon.com/Bidul-card-re...d=1396802723&sr=8-5&keywords=surface+rt+ports will add extra USB and SD ports.
You can get MicroHDMI to DVi with this: http://www.amazon.com/Accell-J132B-002B-Type-D-Female-Adapter/dp/B005PHHO5M
I'm not sure about ethernet. I do believe that there is a USB Ethernet adapter that will work, but it needs to use a specific chipset and there is a non-obvious process to get it to work. Searching there forums for wired ethernet should locate the article for you.
Problem on the RT is that the only I/O are an i2c interface (which might aswell be excluded seeming as there is no plug and play way to interface with that), USB2.0 port and the microHDMI. The best you can hope for is to use an HDMI to DVI cable, USB hub and a USB ethernet adaptor.

Since the Surface 2 has USB3, wouldn't a dock or usb hub be more viable?

Hello!
Here is a list of goodies I used to connect my Surface RT 8.1 Update 1 in my Office:

(see this Post to get the Adapter working with Win 8.1 RT Update 1 >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51919569&postcount=41 )
Mouse and Keyboard are just the usual DELL stuff. Tried different USB Sticks and external HDD; all are working.
Can you link to the DVI adapter again? That one goes to the USB hub too. Cheers.
Could anybody recommend me USB ethernet adapter for this device?
I've tried this otg adapter with chip AX88772A, but I wasn't succesful.
App for config crashed with this adapter plug in.

I'm sure it works on most phones out there. It works on my buddies iPhone 5 and that's how many years old
I had seen a couple threads where someone said they had a DisplayLink adapter working with a Pixel. I don't remember which model specifically, but I think it was a Pixel 1 or 2. I didn't try it myself because the adapter isn't cheap, but maybe now I'll have to look into it again.

Hello,
does anybody know a working USB ethernet adapter for the Pixel 3a?
I have tried one with ASIX AX88772A (USB 2.0) and another one with AX88179 (USB 3.0) chipset and both are not recognized correctly.
The Pixel does recognize some USB device and the ethernet adapter is powered up, but it is not possible to switch to data transfer.
I am using this and it works.

I can absolutely rule out
Alfa awus 0036nh - ralink 3070
Alfa awus 0036h - realtek 8187
Micro USb - realtek 8188e
Micro USB - ralink 5370
small form + 3db antenna ralink 5370
Although I've had great luck with gos modules I can confirm the Ublox7 / Vk-172 works well with the 3a. My GlobalSat BU-353-S4 hasn't cooperated yet. Sorry to say that gps wardriving is much more difficult but just as rewarding, if you do find a good wifi unit that works with the pixel do let us know.

I don't have a 3a, but this one works fine with my Pixel 3.

It works on my Pixel 3A as well. Of course, I'm using a USB 3 to USB-C adapter. The performance is quite poor. I'm getting about 75 MBPS on a 300 MBPS internet connection. I do much better on Wi-Fi. I tried the same on a Chromebook, and the NIC worked much better on USB 3, then via the USB-C adapter. I'm wondering if it's a problem with the USB 3 to USB-C adapter, or is the nature of the beast when doing that conversion?
Have you seen the same? Which conversion adapter are you using?
Thank you
I get 89 Mbps, which is the limit of my internet connection. I'm using this adapter:

So, using the combination of that network adapter and that USB adapter, I'm getting a max of 102 MPS on my Pixel 3a. Using the same combination on a Chromebook, I'm getting 297 MBPS. Using Wi-Fi, on the Pixel, I get close to what I'm getting wifi / wired on the Chromebook.
I wonder if there is some setting on the Pixel, or a hardware limitation.
Has anyone found a way to cast or screen mirror when using USB Ethernet ?
Obviously my tv, Chromecast and fire TV are all connected to the same Ethernet network.
But every screen mirror / cast app I've tried won't work unless WiFi is connected on the phone.
The PinePhone dock worked on my pixel 3a for ethernet tethering. Sept. 22 OTA rooted [Magisk] Tethering Enabler verizon grandfathered UDP. Plugged into a switch with wifi mesh and whole home wifi works. I need a longer LAN cable to put my phone in a spot with better signal. I have not tried HDMI but I can if someone needs that.
