I have couple of WiFi USB adapters used to enhance weak WiFi signals and to improve WIFi connection.
Is it possible to connect such an adapter to the phone/tablet by an OTG USB cable? Are there any drivers or apps that enable WiFi adapter to be used on phone/tablet?
Many thanks in advance.
I would like to know if there is a way to connect my evo with the lan with cable.
Any adaptors or anything. (i am interested in using an wireless AP)
Thank you
No way to do that. One, there is no micro usb cable to cat5 that would work. And two, the phone doesnt have any drivers or interface to be able to use a cat5 connection.
Hello,
on Christmas I buy Sony Xperia XZ1 - G8342 , but I in the box was only Sony UCB-20 cable (USB-C 2.0). So ... I buy cheap USB-C 3.1 cable , but it so bad , that if I plug it wrong way the transfer speed were 1MB/s , so like 2hours ago I got Sony UCB-30 (UCB-C 3.1Gen2 10Gbps) , but still got only 425mbps on USB tethering with UCB-30 cable . Even phone have only 35MB/s write speed , but the read speed are probably capped by USB2.0 because it go 60MB/s read speed. Does someone else have this problem ?
+ other thing with my motherboard , I can connect and transfer files only on my USB 3.1Gen2 ASMedia port , all other ports just connect disconnect the phone doesn't matter if USB 3.0 USB 3.1gen1 , other devices like WD Elements (USB 3.0 external HDD) work as they should (+120MB/s transfer speed etc)
Googled about this more than +5hours , and even installed clean Win10 (1809) just for this, installed Xperia_XZ1_driver (link below) , in Xperia Companion I did Software repair , of course I did try other PCs too

only thread who talk about USB 3.1 is this one :

EDIT 2021.06.06 :
Provider in my country had promotion: "unlitimited free LTE internet for one day", and I have still ADSL, so I use it,
but my cable wasn't the best, because it drop tethering all the time, with my all the time used USB 3.0 cable. I was like ... last time this one day free internet worked for 8+ hours without problem, so I used my Sony UCB-20 cable, and after that I had stable connection whole day.
If you want to try how good is the cable try USB Tethering :
To try if your USB 3.x cable is really 3.x and not 2.0, connect your phone with your PC and turn on USB Tethering, in setting you will see speed connection of 851.9 Mbps, if it is only USB 2.0 connection you will see connection speed of 425.9 Mbps. It is only connection between Phone<=>PC, not your Internet connection speed
For testing quality of cable, or if the pins are worn out try this :
When you are on USB Tethering internet connection, press Winkey+R and write this command " ping google.com -t " , without using much data, you can see how many packet drops you have, with good connection you should have like 1-3packet drop a day
It should be faster.
So you tired different cables and different computers (all usb 3?) Did you get the speed readings from the network settings?
What usb modes did you check?
Is the phones socket clean?
[RESOLVED]
So in the end , even I did buy "Sony UCB-30" it was fake/defective cable (one side of the cable did have Sony Logo , other side didn't)
after 3. cable I have USB 3.0 speed with my Sony XZ1
first company is PremiumCord , which is very terrible company , all cables suck made by them
the second was probably factory discarded defective cable , which some companies buy and sell , because of greed ...

Hi,
I just wondered if its possible to connecta an Ethernet cable to the Mate 20 Pro and use the phone itself as a USB modem.
I know there are loads of USB C to Ethernet connectors out there but they seem to be aimed at PCs.
Basically I want to turn my phone in to an hotspot via ethernet, then plug the other end of the cable in to a WAN port on a router, and use that router as the wireless hotspot if that makes sense. It's because I am moving houes and will have 3 week wait for broadband to be installed.
A Raspberry Pi solution could be an option. I don't know enough to describe what to do.

Ignore me!
I already have a WiFi extender at home, I will just turn my hotspot on and programme the Wifi Extender to rebroadcast the signal. When I am out of the house the extender won't work obviously but will kick in to life when I turn o the hotspot back on etc.
I have such an adapter https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Ether...+RJ45&qid=1682626537&sprefix=,aps,1864&sr=8-3. And unfortunately, after connecting it to the phone in the hotspot and tethering settings, the Tethering via Ethernet option is greyed out. I've set hardware acceleration in developer options, have Data Saver turned off, and set the default usb connection to tethering. The phone is new and freshly updated. The adapter definitely works, tested on the previous phone (Samsung S9+), another Samsung A5 phone and even on a Mac tablet. Is it possible that Sony is picky and I need to buy a better adapter or do you know any other tricks. I read on reddit that a friend has a 2.5GbE one that framework sell, realtek adapter and it works fine for him on SONY 1 IV
if your doing this to a pc you just use a usb cable it tethers over that
on locked down devices like consoles or something idk you might be out of luck i have never tethered a phone that way always used usb or wifi hotspot
No, as I wrote earlier with the previous phone I used and it works normally. I need to connect the car with an ENET cable (BMW).
Idk there maybe an Ethernet adapter out there that works but that is a much more niche way of doing it especially to a car
Look for Ethernet adapter that people say worked on older Sony phones if any
the way i would do it is tether phone to laptop and laptop ethernet to car
