OTG Wi-Fi adapter compatible with Android? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The internal WiFi module on a Android tablet is broken and I'm looking for a OTG compatible WiFi adapter that works with Android.
If not possible, then I'm looking for a OTG Ethernet adapter but I rather not go this route: it would mean getting that, a USB hub, and a adapter that bridges Ethernet to wireless. Almost not worth it.

[Q] Using USB Ethernet adapter while charging

Hi!
It looks like it's possible to use some USB Ethernet adapters with some Android tablets, but is it possible to have it running on AC power at the same time?
I suppose that this can be achieved with some special OTG cable, if it is possible at all. Have anyone been successful with this?
Please share what's your setup, i.e what tablet do you have, what Ethernet adapter works with it, and what kind of OTG cable are you using.
Direct links (Amazon, eBay, etc...) are very welcome for Ethernet adapters and OTG cables.
Thanks in advance!
PS: Hopefully this is the right forum to post these type of questions.
Hi, I tried with a otg cable which had an additional port for power but it's just for when u use hdds who needs more power then 450 mA to run. Android is not allowing to charge the phone during USB otg usage.

Intel Core M Compute Stick power supply

I've been trying to find a OTG powered hub that doesn't suck for basically ever.
Assuming this works in USB2 mode I might be in love. Something like monoprice should have a USB C to USB2 A cable.

I tried the Chromecast Ethernet adapter, but without luck.
Following this thread to see if you have any luck with the compute stick hub.

Ethernet over Mini-HDMI port

Short and to the point:
Does the HDMI port on the top of the tablet have support for Ethernet? If I connect it to an HDMI device that's bridged to the rest of the network, will the tablet use that instead of Wi-Fi?

USB 3.1 Type C to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Adapter

Hello all, I'm trying to use a usb-c to rj45 lan adapter to connect directly instead of wireless for XZP but so far the one use (b elkin) does not work or I just don't know how to set it up in Android N. Any suggestion on one that would work would be great. thx:fingers-crossed:
Did you make sure that the adapter u got was compatible with android? I haven't come across one that is
Did you have any joy with getting the adapter to work ?
Regards,
Kevin
I bought another adapter from Amazon - Smays 3 Port 3.0 Hub and USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adaptor target Ultrabook, Tablet, IPC, and Motherboard Applications (Realtek RTL8153 Controller, Black), unfortunately it does the same thing. Christmas lights on the LAN but no connectivity. Other post suggest that Sony turn off certain capability that could make USB-C work the way it suppose to for LAN and HDMI. I think I would have gone with the Note 8 if not for the 4K and Tim the Tool Man like for chrome color. Arr ARrrr arr
Is there even any kind of USB-C hub or adapter that works with this phone?

Sony hasn't enabled a single ethernet device in the kernel config, of course nothing will work on the stock rom. But hardware wise, as long as you can plug it to the phone everything should work as long as you can get load modules.

Ethernet

Hi guys,
I wonder if it would be possible to connect my 8.4 inch m5 via ethernet. As far as I know there should be support for usb to ethernet cables in Android 6.1 (not sure with the version should be around 6) and higher.
Thanmk you for your time.
As far as I have seen in the forum people tried it with hubs but weren't successful. Same story as the hdmi output :/
Yes you can, I've tried usb Ethernet adapter connected with type-c OTG and the tablet happily connected to the wired network (WiFi off).
That's nice to hear. Thanks
I've tried usb Ethernet adapter connected with adapter USB <-> microUSB <-> typeC, did not work.
WoW!
Now it's working with Total Commander!
