Is this possible on the z2??
Want to connect my z2 to my guest network at work but wifi is not an option
Can anyone confirm this works?
No but USB teathering works which is the next closest thing.
What does that consist of? I'm a nooB
Just want to hook ethernet into my phone to save on dat data!

Oh you mean transfer to your phone
I dont actualy know, probably best using some sort of mini wifi hub that connects to what ever you want

I think usb reverse tethering is also possible but in this case you need a computer and I think it is not very simple to use.
Using a computer as a WiFi hub is probably an option too but I don't think all the hardware/software support that.

Hardware support for that isnt common but for example i can connect my phone to a wifi net and then share that wifi connection via usb teathering which is the closest i got to this

That's a good idea, but will the software accept an incoming internet connection through the usb port?
you can use applications to turn your laptop in a wireless hotspot.
1) you hook your pc to an ethernet cable
2) run and start the application
and voila...you have wifi for your mobile
you may use Virtual Router

Im giving my wife my laptop now that I have a transformer and dock for it. Unfortunately occasionally with work, I am going to need to connect to a wired network connection. I was thinking about getting a USB wired (you know, RJ45) network dongle, but I doubt its going to work purely on the basis of driver support. Thoughts?
There is no support for USB network devices at this time. Your only option for network access is wifi.
Why is physical network access a necessity? Is it a security issue, or do you just not have a wifi access point nearby? If the latter, you can always purchase a mini wifi access point to connect to your ethernet cable, and then just use it in bridged mode.
Sometimes i need test a particular wired connection or maybe i need to configure a network device that doesnt have wireless access, etc.
As long as you configure it properly, you should be able to reliably test network connections and configure devices from a mini wifi access point, since it will basically pretend like your Transformer is physically connected on the same segment. It's a bit of a roundabout way to do it, but it's your only solution until USB network adapters are supported.
Edit: I forgot to mention a suggestion for a mini wifi access point. My favorite is the D-Link DAP-1350.
I'm pretty sure you can get miniature 'bridge' devices that plug into ethernet and present themselves as a mini access point via WiFi (The original xbox wireless adapter is basically this)
That way you can use the on board WiFi to connect to an ethernet network.

I have recently bought a device like you suggest here. Sapido RB-1602. It is quite small, and even better it can be powered by the Transformer usb port.
bridges can be a pain to work with, especially when the entire point of connecting to the wired connection was to troubleshoot it. Also, if I have to carry around something that large, i might as well have a laptop.
I'd be interested in this also. We can't have wireless at work, and I'd like to get internet on it.
This is on my list of to-dos, I have the same needs as the OP.

How is the network setup at the office? If there are no mac addy filtering or domain login requirement to obtain or use an IP you can setup your own wifi just don't broadcast the SSID. But if your admin has alerts setup for unknow devices using IP's they will shut it down or block it.
There are other android devices that use ethernet adapters so it can be done

How about bluetooth to ethernet?

Here you go. Now is there support in Honeycomb for it?

Sorry for all the posts but I'm getting hits so ...
This looks like the same thing as above but on amazon
http://www.amazon.com/AGILER-RJ45-ADAPTER-NETWORK-COMPUTER/dp/B000BL3M3U
Ordered one, for less than $5 worth a try.

The important comment from the Amazon thread on that item is:
dm9601 chipset. Supported on Linux, but only very recent versions (2.6.21 or later).
Unfortunately not supported by the version of Linux included in latest Debian GNU/Linux release.

So if you take the Linux kernel being used by the Honeycomb branch of Android, and recompile it to include this driver from the Linux trunk, maybe you could get it to recognize the device and "just work".
Maybe.

I am the admin . We have an outside agency that scans for wireless (ssid or not).

Anyone got a USB mouse to work on their G9?
edit: from the 3g port, like this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7H-EupM9g4
I dont want it bad enough to buy an adapter '
edit 2: someone said probably need a usb hub to translate usb 1.1/2.0
I can't get it to work through the back USB port either. Archos themselves say you need a micro USB to USB host cable, I ordered one today so I can test later.
Don't worry. Spend a dollar and buy OTG USB adpter. And your device will looks sexy not inside but and outside.

Yes, on my 80 G9 turbo hdd, I use the previous model of this: keyboard and mouse touchpad.
With this. Works like a charm.

The 3G USB host port needs definitely a hub to handle USB1.1 devices.
The OTG USB port is able to work with either with USB1.1 and USB2.0, but is restricted to work with HID and mass storage devices, due to software restriction.
AFAIK there's no general device support on the OTG port.
Correct me if i'm wrong...

A) does our phone have to ability to be a usb host?
B) If not, is it because of hardware limitations or software?
C) if software, how can we fix it?
I'd like to use a usb mic with my phone, but I'm not sure it will work/how to get it to work, so I thought I might ask the geniuses here
Thanks in advance
Probably works for storage devices if you use a powered hub and CM9 Rom, but I doubt it will work for audio.
Why in the world would you use a USB mic anyway?

USB host won't allow you to use your phone as a webcam.
Hi fellow owners,
I am considering to buy, but I'd prefer to be a cheap and get the 16GB WiFi version. However, it would be nice to be able to use a USB dongle for 3G from time to time. Anybody tried?
Thanks!

Its micro usb port, will have to use adapter, my advice, use your phone as host spot

good advice. I can certainly do this as well as use a 3g wifi router i have. but using the phone's hot spot drains phone's battery and using a router adds to the bulk. that is why I'd like to try a dongle.
Thanks!

I read in the GSMArena review that the XTZ can be tethered to a phone using Bluetooth:
Even if you get a Tablet Z without 3G, you can still use mobile Internet, provided you have a data plan on your droid phone and the Xperia Link installed. The app simplifies the tethering process. It puts a widget on the homescreen that lets you turn tethering on and off.
You might be thinking that you can just use your droid's Wi-Fi hotspot feature to do the same (and you could). The difference here is that Xperia Link uses Bluetooth to share the Internet connection and not Wi-Fi. This should be more power efficient than a Wi-Fi hotspot especially considering you can keep Bluetooth on all the time, which will let tablet and phone hook up automatically once they are close enough (you can't do that with a hotspot as your battery will be dead in a couple of hours).

I haven't been able to try that yet -- my pre-ordered XTZ has yet to ship -- with my Nexus 4 but it could be a solution to Wifi Hotspot battery drain issue.
-- Edit to add --
Well, found the official Sony Xperia Link in the Google Play Store and it's incompatible with non-Xperia phones apparently. Although, the Bluetooth-tether idea still sounds promising. Is there a way to get around the Sony lock-in?
Works!
So I've got the tablet this week and tried just now to stick the USB modem into it.
Naturally you have to be rooted, then you need a dialer :
PPP Widget
from the author of usb_modeswitch (ubiquitous linux tool to change the usb modems from CD to serial mode)
then you need the usb drivers unsurprisingly missing from the stock rom:
On author's forum
then insmod the modules in the zip file:
cdc-acm.ko
usb_wwan.ko
option.ko
(option requires usb_wwan to be loaded first), drop the widget on the home, it should do its magic and ask you for the APN. Then it works.
what a joy.
p.s. apparently the dongle I have needs more power than there is on the tablet port, so you need a powered hub (clumsy) or an external battery and a Y cable to power it.
hi, my wifi on hotspot is very low, i can try to install external module usb wifi dual band, is possible in this radio ? exist module compatible ?
also curious about this. my WIFI wont connect to anything further than about 10ft away

You may try usb dongle, CF-WU725B.

Wifi works on my px5.
i actually have this one on the way already. https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WN823N-Wireless-network-Raspberry/dp/B0088TKTY2
going to keep an eye out for a low profile SMA wifi antenna with about a 5 foot cable. i would rather just use the onboard WIFI vs a dongle
