Is there any software that will allow me to use WiFi without the built in wifi tuner but instead using a usb wireless adapter? Is this even a possibility on android?
Why would you even want to do that?

To improve WiFi strength

cool
This is a really cool idea. I'm getting an Ota adapter cable soon and I also have a portable router. I'm going to see if I could get anything to work with it. I don't know though.

I don't think a portable router is going to let you connect to another wireless router. I think you would need something like a wireless bridge to connect to the wireless router. And that wireless router would probably need to have the bridging enabled or something like that. And that seems like a pointless endeavor to improve wireless signal unless the bridge is halfway between the router and your tablet.
I would like a wireless adapter that has stronger signal reception.
using otg adapter coupled with usb extension cable and wifi dongle to tablet

Did you ever figure this out?
I am also trying to bring a signal into my apt that's only making it to the outside of my apt. I currently have a 15 foot usb extension cable hooked to a dlink n dongle and have it mounted just outside my window. I have that hooked to my laptop and am using connectify to bring in the free city wide wifi into my apt.
I have not had any issues, but am having a hard time keeping any other devices connected to my connectify as trying to get a valid IP is buggy due to restrictions and various issues then with the city wide server.
I need to find android drivers for a non android device I guess?
Have you had any luck?

I hae simply given up on wireless via mac. So, I got the gameklip and love the idea but when I plug in the controller, and nothing happens. It says it should show up immediately. It doesn't. Says usb connected and that's it. Input method doesn't show a new device. What I am doing or not doing? Stock rooted JB.

Have you used the sixaxis app?
Yes and usb/bt. Neither one will find either controller in wired mode.

Sounds like your missing a huge step. Did you do the whole Mac address thing?
(⊙＿⊙)
Are you sure your usb adapter cable is compatible with the s3? Try plugging a usb thumb drive in if its no recognized then its not compatible. Also you dont need the six axis app with this phone since ps3 conroller is natively supported.

Correct but that is my problem. I am using the default cable that came with the gameklip. It connects fine to my camera etc. My PC, just will not show on the phone. I have to believe the cable is just faulty.
As for mac address that should be unnecessary for a wired plug in. I got it connected after driving to my friends house and using a windows machine to change the mac address. I still can not connect it physically but without a second cable to test against, I can't say for sure it is the cable but I do believe it to be so.
Only other problem I have now which I can't seem to find is that the games won't accept long presses. Example, in Silent Hill, R1 is side step, but also holding it draws your weapon but nothing happens.Just side steps. I am trying to research if it is just the game itself or a setting I can somehow manipulate. I have never had an Android and in the last 3 weeks have rooted it, overclocked it, undervolted it and through on all the emulators. Too many awesome things to do at once lol
I used this back in the summer when I was playing MGS on the S3:
Granted, it's the wireless setup, but it just don't follow the whole tutorial to get the wired setup.
I have bought two otg adapters the first didnt work for me and the second one i bought from amazon the reviews said it worked for the s3 that one worked.
Just use sixaxis and change the controllers mac address to the phone. It straight up says on gameklips website that the T-Mobile version isn't compatible with the wired option.
I use the wireless setup and it works perfectly. Stock rooted here.

If you have an USB OTG cable then you don't need to mess around with MAC addresses or anything else, very straightforward to pair the PS3 controllers directly on the phone with Sixaxis Controller if you have a USB OTG cable.
Try and plug a mouse or USB key drive in to the OTG cable to see if it turns up. If it doesn't, the cable is faulty.
I bought an OTG cable on eBay that didn't work. The seller sent another when I reported it faulty (I didn't need to send anything back), and the second one worked fine allowing the PS3 controller to work.
The ethernet port on my KS Ouya seems to not be correctly attached to the board and thus can be moved up and down a lot. I've also noticed that it has no way of locking an ethernet cable in. On top of that i've noticed that the micro usb port used to connect the ouya to a pc only allows cables to go halfway in and the contact is sketchy at best (as of now I have yet to get the connection to stay for more than a few seconds).
Has anyone else ran into these issues, or is mine just a manufacturing defect and should be replaced?
I have the same problem with the micro usb port. My Samsung cables plugs are too short, but I have a slightly longer plug on my Kodak cable from a pocket videocam.

I've heard others over on ouyaforum complaining about similar issues, so you're not alone. I don't have any of these problems myself. I wish you luck getting it resolved!
Thanks for the replies JLCollier and Tadeo. The micro usb port issues turned about to be just that specific cable (weird).
Regarding my ethernet port, i'll probably try contacting support, see if they can send a replacement board. Will post here if I can get them to replace it; maybe others with the issue will be able to succeed too.

in regards to the thernet port, has anyone been able to exclusivly use ethernet in stead of wifi? I noticed that some apps/games will give me a not connected to wifi error even though im hard lined.

I use the ethernet exclusively 99% of the time, but there are some sideloaded apps that require either wifi or mobile network (which we don't have), so at that point I switch over to Wifi. Nothing on the OUYA itself should require wifi, however.
With both ethernet and wifi connected, wifi seems to take priority.
For example, transferring local files only achieves 1mb per second (which is what i'd expect on wifi)
Ethernet should get close to 10mb per second.
Hopefully they are working on a fix for this.
Would this work for picking up wifi signals from a distance with a OTG cable? http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WN722N-Wireless-Adapter-Detachable/dp/B002WBX9C6/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1377380741&sr=1-2&keywords=high-gain+external+USB+adapters I'm looking at the N300 High Gain.Thanks for any input.

Don't think you will be able to do it unless you use a powered usb hub.
Heard the usb port on the nexus can't supply a lot of juice..

Hadn't thought of that before... Thanks.
never try that, maybe you can install a Wifi Extender Router that can improve wireless coverage in all WLAN networks. please give the feedback here if you make it work.
If I get a usb Y cable or a powered usb hub, would a bluetooth dongle work? I think i can score a free ipad case with a bluetooth keyboard so i have to see how i can plop the little kindle in, but it would be nice to bring my kindle with me to school to type up research or whatever i need. I know there are threads about it but those date back in 2012 around may or so, so things could have changed
Yes. I was successfully able to get some flash drives to work, you just have to get chainfire's USB otg apps. I would imagine Bluetooth dongles would work as well

Alright thanks! Ill try it out and buy a Bluetooth dongle. I do have a wireless keyboard but it would be weird to lug around a full sized keyboard for a little tab
I've used a firestick (I believe it's a FS2) for a long time and love it. But my home wlan bandwidth has become congested making it difficult to watch streaming movies without some annoying stuttering.
Is there a way to connect an Ethernet cable directly to the firestick to speed data to it? I looked at my firestick and there seems to be no Ethernet port I could connect a cable to. Is there a trick I could use so it doesn't have to depend on a wireless connection?

The official Amazon Ethernet Adapter work fine with a 2nd generation stick.
I use a wii usb adapter I got at gamestop for 1.99, works with everything but you will need a charging OTG adapter (unless the amazon one has it integrated)
Thank you both. I'll explore the suggested options.
Take advantage of the speed and reliability of wired internet. Easy to set up – simply connect the Amazon Ethernet Adapter into the USB port on your Fire TV and plug in an Ethernet cable directly from your router.

Please don't revive a dead thread just to increase your post count. Also, you just repeated the obvious answer.
