Now that we have our usb adaptor up and running,
does anyone think a usb to ethernet adaptor would work?
I'm going on a trip recently and it would be awesome if the tab could hook up to the internet access in the motel room ( they dont offer wireless)
These usb-ethernet adaptors only cost $20 so it would make the already useful tab even more worth its price!
Simple answer, no. It doesn't work like that

I don't think the drivers will be available, I'm fairly certain you'll be able to pick up a portable wireless access point for around the same price which you could plug into the Ethernet at the hotel.

maybe, if some one can put the driver in to tab ;p
Drivers shouldn't be a problem.
Init scripts, DHCP, etc could be - the userland stack probably has no concept of wired Ethernet connections.
I don't have a portable USB Ethernet adapter so couldn't really look into this. Easier to just get a small AP.
What about for places that don't allow any wireless AP? I am deployed, and all I have is my xoom, no laptop, nothing else -- went to area that did have wireless for the first bit and had zero problems. We just moved to an area that does not allow wireless of any kind (i.e., Airport Express wireless AP router, etc), mainly for security reasons. So I don't have a laptop to work through any connections. I have an Ethernet cable sticking out of the wall staring at my Xoom. Is there any type of adaptor that I can get to allow me to be hard-wired without the use of wireless?
I can't use any type of tethering (no cell phone coverage). So I'm hoping there is some sort of mini-usb adaptor to USB to modem to ethernet...
I am looking into this as well. I do service on moving heads (lamps) and they have a web server built in for diagnostics. I would love to just use my tablet to connect directly to them.
My adapter is an Asix AX88772B. It worked before on my china tablet on 3.2. but after I did an ICS upgrade on it, it stopped working.But that tablet sucked in all possible ways !

This is done on the EEPad. Can this be done on the Galaxy series?

www.bobjgear.com has what you need for the Xoom.

even i was searching the web for a solution ..found that for xoom and acer tabs...a kernel code was written through adb shell and yes a wifi only tab could connect to internet through the dongles....wish some dev takes this us and experiments with our tab
Need a USB ethernet solution for samsung Note 10.1

I also am in a location that doesn't allow any wireless AP or travel routers. Once I attached the travel router, it gets knocked off the network. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. I would love to find a solution to connecting an usb ethernet adaptor to it.
I have tried the bobjgear usb ethernet adapter on my note 10.1, no joy. I also have another one (pluggable) on a different asix chip which needs more power to get going. I don't think the tab can supply enough for the led lights on it. Have ordered 5v injectors. So yet to see. Although I may well be barking up wrong tree as the note may not have drivers at all. I read somewhere that note may have some compatibility but mut be correct chip. So I will keep on testing until exhausted.
One the plus side bobjgear's website does list tabs that work out of the box with his adapter

I apologize if this has been discussed previously, but I did search and didn't find anything.
I travel quite a bit and it is surprising how many hotels still don't have wireless in the rooms. Most have an ethernet connection available and I carry a long cable. Is there a dongle or other solution for connecting the Sony S? I am getting a travel wireless modem, but hate having to carry more stuff.
Thanks,

Hi
I ordered my Prime and i'm waiting to be delivered.
I'm wondering if it is possible to share my 3G from my android phone with the Prime
I know i can do this with my windows laptop.
This way i can save the battery of my phone instead of using my phone as an accesspoint
I don't know about bluetooth, i think it also will kill by battery
yes
Thread on this in the Questions section, recently solved the issue with Ad hoc networks.
Portable hot spot enabled on your phone should do it.
USB tethering may be possible and use less power
Dont know about BT, I've always found it fiddly to get working although it may use a bit less power than wifi

HAHA Another Thanks virginity broken!!! man I am tearing it up!!!! Ok so it seems your question has been answered. I just wanted to let you know that we have a questions and answer forum.
I get the impression that the OP was actually asking about using his phone's 3G connection with a wired tether since he specifically mentioned not using it as an access point in order to preserve his phones battery.
To be honest, I don't really know and my Prime is at home whilst I'm travelling to work.
However, you should be able to connect your phone to the dock via a cable, and then use the WiFi Hotspot functionality as your dock will keep your phones battery topped up.

In the short testing I did, I found BT tethering to give the best battery life. USB tethering will drain the dock battery by charging your phone, so isn't always better.
BT tethering on my HD2 with ICS uses around 6% battery an hour on the phone, so easily enough on a full charge to keep up with the prime, even when docked.
I bought the Prime with the naive idea to not use my laptop on my trips.
Now I carry two computers instead of one, or I should leave the Prime at home
* The ad hoc is not working so I cannot connect to my phone (Nokia).
* Android cannot handle connections that need redirection of the website, I cannot connect to my hotel WiFi. I can do it on my laptop or even my symbian phone, but not with the prime.
It's so annoying... and I don't want to root the stupid tablet.
Has anyone tried to use a USB Wifi Connector with the Prime? I was thinking of getting one from Tmobile to use as my main source of internet and I was just wondering if anyone knows if it'll work with the keyboard dock.
I have the T-Mo version of the SM-G991U.. I can plug my Phone via the usb cable into my Asus AC68U router without an issue. It stays on 5g, mods the header to 65 without throttling... but I would prefer using the belkin USB C to ethernet adapter with PD to plug into a separate power supply to alleviate strain on the router's power and plug directly into ethernet. The issue I'm having is the phone forces it to Ethernet tethering which in turn forces the phone into a 4g slow as dirt speed, drops the 5g bar to 4g, data speeds down to 2g.... Is there a way to bypass that issue so I can use a usb to ethernet adapter without it slowing down to a crawl? work and live in an RV 9 months out of the year.
I've just added Tmo to my mobile data devices, coming from Verizon where I have the Moto Z Force, and never really had the thought of rooting except for hotspot bypass. Been close to 4 years since I had a samsung phone (note4).. Not really concerned with knox, so root is fine. I just want to get a better option for my network. I use Speedify with a 8800L version gUDP, my Z force over pda net, and now I hope to add this phone as a 3rd bonded network to my network cab.
