I work in IT and I thought it would be nice to use my prime for testing routers, switches & ect. I got a belkin usb 2.0 ethernet adapter and it works great. I am running ICS by the way.
This one?
http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=281799
ICS feature list didn't show support for USB LAN adapters. So you're saying standard kernel provides support? Can you up a pic of the networking setup in ICS?

Looks like there's a driver pack for HC 3.2 for rooted TF101. Hope to see same for ICS.

would this work?
I remember the reading somewhere that the prime can use a usb the eternity adapter without rooting the prime
And cheap once from amazon and dx also wormd
I'll try to find the link for it
But if someone knows please correct me if I'm wrong

Hmm, I have the D-Link DUB-E100. I'll have to see if that'll work when I get home.
It worked with the Honeycomb drivers, FWIW.
Just tried the USB adapter from my Mac Air and it just worked
With micro HDMI to VGA, who needs a laptop now... well apart from Android development still being better in Eclipse
Can anyone try a USB wifi adapter and see if it works? If it does, please mention adapter make & model. TIA.
that is v cool, have you tried using a console cable to usb for switch configuration? e.g. getting a serial to usb adapter and plugging into the switch and using telnet client on your laptop?

Hi Shawn,
seriously, your Macbook Air USB-Ethernet adapter works?
Can you confirm whether your Prime is rooted? Which version of Android is it running?
Thanks,

Belkin usb to gigabit ethernet works too
I have one of these usb to ethernet devices:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-USB-Gigabit-Ethernet-Adapter/dp/B002N56EWI
Works without any added drivers, etc. on the 'Prime running ICS. I rooted mine straight away so can't say 100% that it works without root access before anyone asks (sorry!).
Streams 1080p videos flawlessly from my pc via the MyNET DLNA app and also from the 'Prime's internal memory to my Samsung TV via DLNA (again using MyNet).
Gotta love the 'Prime
This $7 USB Ethernet adapter (only 100MBps) from Monoprice works out-of-the-box with the TF201. The "asix" linux module is builtin to ICS and provides the functionality. The adapter automatically picked up an IP address via DHCP the moment I plugged in the ethernet cable. Manual network config using the "ip addr" command is also a possibility, although I assume it requires root access if you do not already have that.

I am a fan of the BTEP terminal client for Android, but the ssh binary built-in to it will not connect to Cisco devices for me. The ConnectBot app connects flawlessly, however.
Next stop for me: serial console (going to attempt wired and/or bluetooth).
I even plugged in my kids Wii ethernet adapter and it worked! (ICS not rooted).

Nice. My wifi works great but i am sure others will love this.
Was at Microcenter today.. picked up an Apple one that does 1Gbps.. not in the cheapie range at $30, but we'll see how it works out
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0351619
Just waiting to get my Prime back now from ASUS though
I just tested out two different Prolific 2302 USB Serial adapters for connecting to my Cisco stuff's console port. They both "worked" from the Android OS point-of-view (kernel detected device/module and attached to ttyUSB0), but only one worked with the "Slick USB 2 Serial Terminal" app which seems to be the only option for this usage. The app is not awesome for connectivity and the interface is a little quirky, but it is functional and beats carrying a heavy laptop for quick simple stuff. If I expected to be in serial console for more than 30 minutes or so I'd bring my MacBook.

Dam I love my prime. I didn't even convert the 1080p video with handbrake. Tegra 2 would never do this. I have fixed the lag-I\O issue on my prime & I don't have WiFi issues so your results may very.

i only just found out these are a 'thing', they actually exist
http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Technology/Data-Storage/Pocket-Hard-Drives/SGBF0500BK
so has anyone used them? is there any reason you can see why they wouldn't work on the Flyer?
and is there any other way of connecting to storage space larger than 32GB on the Flyer - we don't have usb host capabilities, right?
i already have a 300GB portable hard drive, but there is no way to connect this to the flyer, is there?
Some people have reported success with USB host on Flyer with Honeycomb using a powered hub. I have not tried that myself.
Most NAS (network attached storage) drives can be used with android, but i recommend you get one of the file manager apps that supports them from the app market. Most have a web based interface as well, but this is usually slow and clunky.
Many are way cheaper than this Seagate item.
I use Dropbox cloud storage with great success.
i use dropbox as well, for the small stuff...but i'm thinking more along the lines of entertainment when i'm travelling
i used to fill up my 300GB HDD with various music and video and and travel with a netbook...i'm trying to figure out a way of doing that with the flyer, with more space than the 32GB sd card
suggestions?
Often times, an Amazon or ebay page will give info on compatible devices with most hardwares. Look around and see if theres a flyer compatible hard drive online. I'm sure there is

are you 'sure' there is, or are you just assuming? because i can't find anything
other threads on xda say that a powered external drive 'should' work (but no one who has tried it has confirmed), and on androidforums they categorically say that it will not work
If you are only concerned with videos or music, get a DLNA compatible server and that will work with Flyer, problem with all of these is they need a wireless LAN and its hard to guess if they will work with the Flyer or any other device in a standalone mode. I"m betting the Flyer will refuse to connect to them ad-hoc.
This Seagate device does appear to have a unique ability to setup its own network allowing direct access without another router. Might be useful in that regard. Of course performance is going to be slow, but fast enough to stream one file.
Be sure and read the reviews of users for the android app before you buy one, they are very poor.

yes, i had read those app reviews, which has simply brought me back to the most basic of questions: other than 32GB SD cards, we have zero confirmed options on extending storage?
Unless you are sitting on a LAN via wifi, or you are running Honeycomb with a powered hub, you'd be a lot better off carrying extra SD cards. This is the same for MOST, not all tablets. Except for a couple of heavyweights, even those that have USB host don't have the power to run a external USB drive

is this a 'powered hub'?

so if i get this i can use my external usb drive, plug it into the flyer's micro usb (using the proprietary cable that came with the flyer), and access media files?
I have one of these in 120 Gig … http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Portable-External-Drive-ST940801U2-RK/dp/B0006FS29U
It has 2 usb connectors one for power and data the other for just power.
I formatted it in Fat32 and found a 2 dollar adaptor to plug the data connector into my flyer.
I then plug the power connector into a usb power source (I’m using the charger from my EVO 4G phone)
Works great … all the files are displayed in Astro and Root Explorer.
I’ve seen the drives as cheap as 75 dollars. Just search around.

you will need something like this http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-4-Port-Cable-Power-Supply/dp/B00004Z6KW
It’s really simple … if the device you are trying to use doesn’t have its own power supply it will draw power from the usb connection, however the Flyer doesn’t provide power.
So you will need to use a powered hub for your device to get power to operate

I’m running FlyHoney (haven't updated to latest leak yet) and after plugging in the device I go to settings > storage scroll down to usb storage then mount usb.
Then open Astro and scroll down ... there is new folder labeled USB.
OK, I have Honeycomb too, stock version, but the Host USB does not come online with either a standard cable or an OTG cable. The disk is powered by a Y cable or I can connected it the powered hub. The disk is formatted FAT32 as it should be , looking at the dmesg in terminal , the USB interface never even activates. I wonder if FlyHoney does anything special that stock HC does not do?
I have the Seagate satellite wireless hdd and it works with my flyer. Can stream movies and download from it. Cannot upload. App interface not great, but works

Hello,
First time tablet user, just picked up a transformer prime and am leaving for Afghanistan in two weeks, now wifi is sporadically available where i will be, buti prefer a hardline and came across this , would this work with the prime running android 4.0 if i had the keyboard dock for the usb 2.0 port for the usb/ethernet adaptor. I just need a reliable connection to skype and stay in touch with my wife and friends.

Hi there! My transformer Prime is updated to the latest ICS firmware and I just tested the Apple USB Ethernet adapter for the the MacBook Airs on my TP and it works! I just tried it a few minutes ago because I wanted to see what would happen and i couldn't believe that it connected without any problems.
So if you want a sure thing that works get the Apple USB Ethernet adapter. Good luck by the way in Afghanistan.

Wow, thats fantastic, ill see if i can find it, as i said im not to tech savvy, and not familiar with apple products, but in order for me to get this done i first have to land a key board dock as well to utilize this usb ethernet adapter!

HP USB Ethernet Adapter
I've also tested this at work and have used an HP usb ethernet adapter.
Model: XZ613AA
you can find them all over the web.
this adapter worked like a charm for me.
fantastic so we have two seperate products then that can give us this option, fantastic, thanks a ton!
OP the one you posted works great (plug & play ) with TFP and ICS.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...GU1_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3HIHADV23VGU1&n=&s=&v=glance
just wondering guys, are all your devices rooted? or will it plug and play even when the prime is not rooted? =D
I have tried my Wii's USB ethernet (funny I baught it for my Wii, but I hardly use it for that.. its been surprisingly useful for a lot of other devices) this works on ICS too. I am rooted, but I did not load any special drivers nor other ethernet ui mods. One thing I did notice, is there is no ui option (that I could find) to modify the device's network configuration (so I'm stuck with dhcp) perhaps I need a UI mod for this.
if you get a console program like "connectbot" or android terminal you can setup static ip's to the nic by using an ifconfig command.
it works like most flavors of linux.
ifconfig eth0
or
ifconfig wlan0
ifconfig -a should show all adapters
this is an example of a set static address and netmask.
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
you can also disable an interface with ifconfig {interfacename} down
exp : ifconfig wlan0 down
I'd recommend making sure your wlan device is deactivated before attempting to configure the USB ethernet adapter.
OH and as a note, if the commands don't work it may require root.. but i'm not sure most of the time when i'm in a terminal app my first thing I do is a SU command.
anyhow hope this info is useful
---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------
oh yeah and on another note I use "proxydroid" at work to setup my corporate proxy so I can use my tablet at work via our webproxy
so for those of you looking to show off at the workplace I've found it easy to carry the usb Ethernet adapter and have the proxy droid handy.
its a very useful piece of gear when stuck in meetings

Hi Folks,
I have the OTG cable and USB Y cable working my touchpad with 7/30 CM9 nightly... I would like to purchase a USB wired ethernet adapter. Has anyone tried and know of one that would actually work on the touchpad with CM9?
Thanks a ton!!
Anything that Android 4.0 supports should work unless its limited by our kernel. I'd say there is a good chance this one would work as it mentions plug and play compatibility on Android 3.2+. But there could be kernel limitations so you may want to get another opinion.

I've not tried the script, but it's been reported to work elsewhere, also. It doesn't "just work" on my rooted stock N5 with KK. It does, however, work on my rooted stock N7 FHD (L 5.0.1)--"just works." I have the BobjGear Ethernet Adapter for Android that I purchased years ago for my former Toshiba Thrive. The OTG is run-of-the mill Amazon Asian import variety. It worked on my Nexus 7 2012.
I just tried it on my old Galaxy Nexus, and it also "just works." It may have worked on the N4, but I gave it to my son so can't test it.
I would think that it'd be possible... I have a 1Gb/s connection at my house so whenn I have a large file such as an HD movie I need to download right before I go somewhere I plug my Micro USB-to-USB into my Cisco USB 3.0-to-Gig Ethernet and then into my Nexus 7 (2013), running stock 5.0 FYI. I then turn WiFi off, then wait about 20 seconds. Although it does not show that you are connected via Ethernet you are. I ran a simple speed test using Ookla.
With WiFi I was getting up to about 80Mb/s, with my Ethernet setup I was getting around +900Mb/s.

How is 900 meg even possible? Nexus 7 only supports USB 2.0. Even with a gigabit connection, you should not get faster than 480 Mbps.

Hi there! Just wanted to chime in to note that USB Ethernet works fine on Android 5.0 running on an unmodified Nexus 9. I'm actually sending this through the Ethernet connection I yet have to update to 5.0.1 though and see if it works there as well :fingers-crossed:
Hi together,
I am using a Nexus 9 with Simple AOSP (Android 5.1.1).
For using my ethernet connection I bought this adapter: DONZO® micro USB 2.0 A Stecker auf RJ45 Ethernet Adapter 10/100 Mbit.
When I plug it into the tablet it begins to light up. So I think the tablet recognizes the adapter. (When plugging it into my Nexus 4 it does not light up.)
Now my problem: Nothing happens... If I disable Wifi I get no connection with Chrome.
When looking into netcfg i don't see an eth0 interface.
Also the app "Ethernet" from xda (USBhost) does not work, unfortunatelly... (Nor it works with any of the scripts provided here at xda.)
Anyone knows what could be the problem?
I'd really like to use the tablet with ethernet instead of Wifi at the moment.
Thanks!
Works for me on 5.1.1, unrooted Nexus 9
Possible of interest, I have an UNROOTED Nexus 9, using the factory 5.1.1 image, and I just plugged in an OTA cable, plugged a USB to Ethernet adapter into it, turned off my Wi-Fi, and still have connectivity.
Thus, my tiny little corner of the world is currently a VERY happy place. Thought I'd share my joyousness around the forum.
Which adapter ?

Hello
Just got my new Nexus Player and after long search I can't find the right answer.
I want to connect the player to my Ethernet in my house for better connection and if possible to add an external HDD.
Here is my list of questions and I hope that I've got the the right place:
1. I want to have the maximum network speed and I have Giga cables in my walls . Is there a standards in the adapter that I need to buy to have the maximum speed? Or all the adapters have the same speed limit?
2. Is there a way to connect both Ethernet and USB HDD long side? Is there a magic box that have USB and also an Ethernet connection? If there is I would like to get an advise what is the best one to buy.
If someone have an experience what the items I need and have an advice what is the best to buy - I will love to get some links.
Many thanks in advance

You'll need an OTG cable, a USB 2.0 hub (a powered one if you're going to hook up non-powered hdd), and then just about anything you want will work through the hub. For expanded storage you'll need to root and install stickmount. If you want to install large games then you may need foldermount as well.

In Amazon type in "ethernet USB hub", many results will come up. Here is a link to the first one. I don't know for sure if it is compatible or not though.
Anker® 3-Port USB 3.0 HUB with 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Converter (3 USB 3.0 Ports, A RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Port, Support Windows XP, Vista, Win7/8 (32/64 bit), Mac OS 10.6 and above, Linux) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KGV7I9Y/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_-ifUub140WKQG
The problem is that even if the adapter supports full Ethernet speed the USB port on the nexus player will not.
So, you should get the benefit of a stable connection... But it will never be beyond USB 2.0 speeds.
I am connected to 2.5ghz wireless N and I haven't had a problem with 1080p Netflix, no stutters on YouTube and modern combat 4 and 5 both play with no lag.

You'll need an OTG cable, a USB 2.0 hub (a powered one if you're going to hook up non-powered hdd), and then just about anything you want will work through the hub. For expanded storage you'll need to root and install stickmount. If you want to install large games then you may need foldermount as well.

Can anyone tell me why my USB flash drive doesn't always mount with my Nexus player? I've got a powered Plugable USB hub, with my pny 32gb fat32 format USB drive.
It keeps switching names and sometimes doesn't show up at all until after I rerun stickmount.
This happens after waking from sleep as well. I'm obviously rooted and unlocked what am I missing?
Also how do I activate pro on stickmount after I've purchased it. I just get a weird screenshots about the pro version when clicking upgrade....

It might have something to due with a recent bug they fixed.
