Is possible to boost wifi signal with usb otg and connected external wireless antenna ??
I don't think there are any drivers for android for a wireless wifi adapter. There might be though. But i think it's highly unlikely.

I have just got a 3G USB dongle for my PC and was hoping I can use it for the BA. I'm getting the interface cable so wanted to know if anyone else had tried this yet?
Is it possible for the fire to use an external usb adapter for wifi reception? If so you do think this would be of any interest to the devs?
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.
Hello everyone,
i recently got a LG G Pag 10.1 and picked up a otg cable for it, it reads flash drives just fine. i also picked up a inateck hbu3vl3-4 (a 3 port usb 3 hub and gigabit ethernet port) the tablet will not read any of the usb ports or even use the gigabit network. do any of you folks have any ideas on how to get this device to work?
(the same otg cable/hub works on my s4, though the ethernet port does not work on it either)
any help would be great,
Wizeone
I have an old USB-Ethernet adapter. It works with an OTG cable to provide me a wired internet connection. Unlike your device, my adapter is neither an USB hub nor gigabit capable.
Hi all, I have the Nexus 5 and wish to connect the TP-LINK TL-WN722N USB Wifi Adaptor but I am having no success, I purchased a Y Cable to connect it to my phone but when i plug it in nothing happens on screen or no light comes on the Wifi Adaptor, I plugged my charging cable into the other end of the Y Cable but it doesn't charge the phone, I thought my cable must be faulty but i've now used 3 more and all with the same outcome. Is there something i need to do to my phone to get this to work? The port on the phone works fine as it connects to my computer and charges perfectly when i just use a normal cable. If you can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

from doin this on my nexus 7 to use nethunter kali with the wifi adaptor i would say you need a rom and kernel that support usb-charge and host. stock android doesnt support wifi adaptors . u can access and use the adaptor in a linux kali but you cant use it in stock android to say browse the web instead of using on-board wifi chip/card.
edit : Also most of the y-cables you can buy from e-bay dont actually route power to the phone/tablet and to the attached device, the power only goes to phone, i had to make my own charge/host usb cable with a soldering iron and heatshrink tubing. this cable charges the phone/tablet and provides steady power to the attached devices (wifi adaptor, mouse,keyboard,hard-drive) the ones i mention previously from e-bay dont provide enough juice to power the adaptor.
You need a custom kernel with module loading, root and your wifi adaptor´s module, altough my WN723N and a cheap old ethernet adaptor worked out of the box(chroma rom with elementalx kernel)
