Hi guys,
i am in the need of having a lan port on my S2. i found these
http://www.hitechleague.com/android-tablets-accessories/usb-2-0-ethernet-adapter-rj-45
and
http://www.euogo.com/usb-lan-adapte...to-rj45-adapter-for-android-tablets_p420.html
but i don't know if they are going to work. Anyone have any opinions on this?
Interested too!
Well I've read somewhere that in theory it is possible. The only problem is you'd have to write a driver for the phone which isn't very easy.
Maybe you already know it, but if you have a laptop available you can share the lan connection via wifi with Connectify.
If you have windows 7 (vista I'm not sure of) you don't even have to use a third party program. But your wireless card should support packet injection. Sadly enough mine doesn't.
Nevertheless LAN to USB can be useful. A few weeks ago I was staying in a hotel that said it had wifi. But it didn't only via cable. I only brought my phone. So there I was alone in an alley hogging of somebodies wifi in the rain trying to congratulate my girlfriend on here graduation.
I'm really looking into a travel router now. D-link's dap 1350 for example.

Could explain the process? I have win 7 and an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. Had no idea I could share my connection without using a 3rd party program...

guys, if i had a laptop, i would use a laptop.
My problem is that sometimes i have a switch and a computer with a webserver with no monitor. This is why i want this.

this maybe the better bet, im using it, it is small like a pack of smoke
Thanks for the tip I might go for the 330N3G

I only use it to stream music from my Netbook which is running iTunes but I believe it will act as a wifi hotspot and is not much bigger than a mains adaptor. If you plug it into the network then it should pick up an IP and if you have configured it at home then it will act as a normal wifi router.

Good Morning Everyone,
This morning Sling released their updated for the Slingplayer PPC client. This fully support WM6 and I have been using it the last 3 weeks.
http://www.slingmedia.com/mobile
Man I want to buy a slingbox so bad...
They are soooooo Cool!
Sweet deal on the Pro here:
http://www.slingmedia.com/nhlspecialoffer/
i think i am going to get a slingbox before football season and was wondering which is the cheapest but best. I the old 1st gen model any good. I dont need hd or anything just connect to my coax from my cable company. no cable box either. i am sorry if this looks like I am rambling i have been up since 1 am CDT
A classic unit would work fine. May be hard to find a brand new one with the exception of a few retailers or online avenues.
is the classic better than the tuner model? i am only going to use it on my mobile phone and maybe a Vista computer.

The classic has a built-in tuner and one AV input. I have one and it works great. I just got the Pro and it's super nice also
You can't beat the Sling on the 8525, it's really sweet. On WiFi you can get almost 4 straight hours of viewing, not bad at all!
I have had it for a while. I am having problems with it connecting to my Hermes? B4 flashing WM6 it worked fine, but now it says "Unable to connect to Slingbox!" I have it on my PC as well and it still works? Also my connection is 3G with all bars full? Any suggestions? (Other than that issue this is really sweet)
I had this problem, but it turned out to be a coincidence with switching to a new router (Netgear). My 8525 wouldn't connect, PC on the home LAN worked fine. Then I tested the PC from the "outside internet" and it wouldn't connect either. Turned out to be router settings, port forwarding. I then manually went thru the sling setup and defined fixed IP and ports, then set the router accordingly. Everything connects immediately now both inside and via wireless EDGE/3G.
Is it possible to use my computers internet when plugged into the USB? At work I don't get very good signal strength and would love tobe able to use the 25mbit fiber on my EVO.
On a Mac you can use internet connection sharing under Sharing in the System Preferences. The connection will be via WiFi though, not USB.
Not sure about on a Windows machine. Doesn't your work have WiFi? If not you could always bring your own router and have it not broadcast its SSID.
Yeah we do have WiFi but I get poor signal down in the "dungeon" where I work, and it's only on a T-1 a select few of us have access to the 25mbit connection, and my boss wouldn't look too kindly on me putting a wifi router on it.

For anyone on the market, any router that supports DD-WRT can be configured to be extremely flexible.

True, but this one is nice and portable. I run 2 DD-WRT routers at home (one works as a wireless bridge for my Xbox360, BluRay Player, DVR and HTPC), but neither of them are nice small and compact like this is.

If you are plugging this into your work's network and extending it over WiFi, you had better make sure that you have passed this by your IT department first. Pulling a stunt like this at my place of business will get you fired on the spot unless you are really, REALLY lucky...

Will the USB Connector support a USB RJ45?
I guess a driver will be needed
Reason for asking is because i need a tablet that i can wire up and i want to get the Tab 10.1
I would love to see this work too.
It does not support RJ45 adapter for internet.

HUMMM, not sure if i am willing to accept that..
It must be a way we can make it happen.
If you need to connect to a RJ45 jack, I suggest getting a "LAN to WiFi Hotspot" Adapter like the LogiLink Wireless LAN Mini AP Router. You can get one for about 22€ and it's a great, little travel device for use in hotels that only offer internet via LAN. For me that's a much more convenient solution than trying to put my tablet on a leash.

Not to my knowledge, so that is why i am thinking if i can take the usb host Adapter and connect a usb RJ45...
Ok I habe two usb to ethernet adapters one shows as a high powered device and the other as an unknown device.
Speaking to my local linux expert he says the kernel I have has some axis drivers built in and I need to either get that exact adapter or a kernel which doesn't have drivers already built in so I can insert my own.
So not lost yet but the battle continues.

These work well for lan connections in hotels:-
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zoom-3G-Wireless-N-Travel-Router/dp/B002SXMH12
R
If you're talking about hotels and such (NOT corporate, where WiFi will face policy issues) -
Almost any cheap wifi router will work if you need to bridge a hardwire LAN. Honest, for the cost you're spending on hardware and headache... $25 for a cheap router and you're done.
Just remember - if you plan to actually bridge them (plugging the LAN into the PC ports, NOT the cablemodem port as you'd do at home), remember to turn off the router's DHCP before doing so.

This is what i needed! Ordering USB addon to my Tab and a usb rj45, and when all is received its time for some kernel playing!!
Will keep this tread updated
Final update on this one, we have had it working using the Samsung 30 pin to USB and a Axis USB to ethernet dongle.
This worked on version 3.1 as the driver from the asus transformer thread was written for that kernel when we updated to 3.2 it all went wrong.
Recently i have been doing some work with Samsung mobility and they have escalated this to the researchers in Korea they removed the support on purpose from the standard 3.2 rom as there was a feeling it wasn't required.
However they are currently looking at if they can include it in the ICS release and are also looking at how complicated it is to create us a dock which has a Ethernet port built in given i want to get 250 galaxies working on a wired connection. Obviously if they create it for us they would also release it for general sale in some way which would be a massive win for the galaxy and the potential for use within the IT industry.
@Banathe, can you tell Me how it went with Samsung mobility. I have the same situation. Client wants some about 300 devices, but also wants the ability to access LAN (to configure TV boxes through tablet, and this can be done only by LAN cable). Can You tell me exactly with which tablet and adapter You managed to have a connection and what is a result of Your research?
Hey guys I just have a question about ICS ROMS.... Can you connect the kindle fire with ethernet? With cable adapters of course.. The kindle is currently running the latest version of glazed ICS... thanks guys

- For use in a setting where wireless networks may be impractical... e.g. interference from other equipment results in poor wireless connections or wireless equipment causes interference for some other critical piece of equipment.
- For use in a setting where wireless networks may be banned... e.g. a security conscious workplace does not allow wireless connections.
- For use in a setting where some services may be disabled for wireless devices... e.g. wireless devices can reach external web sites, but cannot access internal file servers
- For use as a "dumb terminal" of sorts to directly connect to a headless server
What seems pointless to one does not make it useless for all.
I agree with you kinfauns... my reason for asking this question about the kindle is that there is a guy who has a kindle but no wireless at his house.. he has Ethernet but no wireless.. And he can't get wireless
He will need to piggy back off his computers Internet using USB tethering. If he's using the default Kindle OS this will not be possible however.

I may be missing something but I fail to see how it is possible that he has Ethernet but can't get wireless at his house.... The simple solution would be buy a WiFi router and plug that into the Ethernet he already has. Probably cheaper than buying a bunch of adapters to go from micro USB to Ethernet anyways and definitely much more convenient. AFAIK it isn't even possible to convert between the two.
I just picked up a trendnet WiFi n router with dual 2db antennas for $15 on tigerdirect.com and I have seen them for under $10 before.
Not trying to be rude, just trying to understand what the situation is.

Regardless of what his purpose might be, if he is trying to get Ethernet via a USB dongle through USB OTG he would need android drivers for his particular Ethernet USB dongle, right?
Which pretty much means he would have to write them. Then you have to wonder how much power the Ethernet USB adapter would need to pull from the Fire's rather wimpy USB port...

I got here trying to find out the same answer; ethernet to Kindle. WiFi is very toxic for some people, especially very sick ones. But the Kindle is a pleasure; buying new books and reading in bed. This is a serious inquiry on my part. I wish it existed.

I am here for the same thing. Kindles are great, but there are reasons for wanting it connected to a closed ethernet-only environment. I'm one of those wanting to find the people who can help with this. I don't think Amazon is worried, but I DO worry about WiFi poisoning and I also believe it's no one else's business what I do on a device I bought for my private use. I'm hoping there are others out there with the desire and ability to solve this.
Just wondering if you had any luck?

Hello, I am also trying to find a responsible way to connect my Kindle Fire to the internet, as it is necessary just to register and to get some of my materials to read. I am electro-hypersensitive, a condition that disables, developing from over exposure to genotoxic, neurotoxic and immunotoxic microwave radiation used to transmit the info wirelessly (See bioinitiative.org for your own health). This technology takes down the healthiest people, such as military/airforce personnel and firemen... it is that toxic. People get sick and do not attribute to the technologies anti-biological impacts, and blame it on food that is innocent or neutral, or "mystery." I just want to be able to use my kindle without worsening my already depreciated functional state. I got sick because I believed this tech was not biologically active and exposed myself, now am over exposed due to the wireless tresspass into my home environment from neighbors and organizations that place towers, antennas, satellite that blanket radiates neighborhoods. Please look into the military research such as posted on Dr. Magda Havas' site for convenience. These technologies were well investigated in the 70s for weapons use by the military. This is for every one, not just those that are hypersensitive, as it harms all biology, even insects like bees suffer (please see .pdf "Irradiated").
hey,
i have a very simple question,
I have a note 3 and use the screen mirroring option to send youtube to my media server so i can see it on the big screen as we dont have a smart TV.
but i want to be able to do that anywhere without a media server, their is all these smart usb sticks that turn TV's into smart ones but i dno where to start, i just wanna be able to send my media to the TV, i have a hdmi for my note 3 but it requires a power source and the cable isn't long enough and i really didn't research it properly before buying...
im sure their is a usb or something that will allow me to do this that doesn't cost a lot,
Because I'm interested in the subject too, what software are you using as media server?

Never had a wifi issue. I'm using it in a setup with our 12 year old 40" Sony CRT tube tv lol!!! which I converted to "smart tv". That tv doesn't even has hdmi port, so I have A/V cable going into that converter box with HDMI output and connect smart stick to it. Controlling it with a small bt keyboard and streaming videos from usb stick connected to my Asus wi-fi router. Mostly used by my kids, and obviously streaming movies over wi-fi, and never an issue. This is an old stick version, they have new ones with a better spec. I think most of the issues were with some of the earlier versions, even prior to mine, where stick used to get overheated and causing various issues included wi-fi.
