I know that the Nexus Player has a Micro-USB 2.0 port, but I've been successfully using a generic USB 3.0 hub / gigabit Ethernet adapter with my Nexus Player by way of a USB OTG cable.
This adapter has a Realtek RTL8153 10/100/1000M Ethernet controller that is meant for USB applications. It also has three available USB 3.0 ports. In Windows, it shows up as "Realtek USB GbE Family Controller" in Device Manager.
It's not supported with the original Android 5.0 Lollipop build, but it works fine with 7.0 Nougat and presumably 8.0 Oreo.
I got mine from eBay seller "photoadd" for $9.99 U.S.D. with free shipping. Here is the current eBay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/262668572762.

I hope this helps.

i'm waiting on a similar ethernet hub coming from china, but meantime i've found these micro usb adaptors excellent in cutting down on unnecessary wiring from the more common adaptors when plugging in a hub. fits perfectly with power cord and hdmi either side on NPlayer.

I need one of these that ships to canada. I would like the ethernet and usb combo so i can hook up a keypad for my nexus player.

Full size USB adapter

I know the dock will have 2 full size USB ports. But honestly I'd rather just have a little adapter that I can plug into it.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will have one so hopefully Asus or another brand will produce one to compete!
Would something like this do the trick?

Oh gawd! With this delay and endlessly searching for release times, I forgot about that
How about a dual Female A USB adaptor
Amazon: USB 2.0 Adapter Female A- Female A
...plugged to the cable adaptor that comes in the box?
The cable also has data connectivity for data transfer, it probably should do the trick.
I believe the HongKong electronic shops would come to the rescue. They are known to produce many useless converter before. I don't see why not this time. Probably straight from ASUS connector to USB.
I posted something on on Asus' Campus Life. Please his reply to it and respond requesting this accessory! Look for username Dean.

I hope they make something similar to the hinge on the keyboard dock, so it can actually latch on and has the two usb's and the SD slot, it would also make a nice grip when using the tf vertically. From the pics, what they have so far looks like it's going to stick out a lot and with something that big there is definitely more of a chance it will get knocked out and possibly damage the port.
Dont we have to have usb host support first for the transformer and dont we have to wait for honeycomb 3.1 for that?

Doesn't look so. And some people reported that Female A - Female A adaptors work for some devices (those that have their own power source probably) - there is a thread about it somewhere in this forum. I tried it but my pendrives nor mouse didn't work (there is probably no power line in the USB cable that is used for charging and connecting to computer).

Any ideas on release date to the USB adapter ? Pete

Proprietary to USB-female?

Is there a cable for the prime for USB host? I want a USB port but so far I can only find cables for the Galaxy tab or for micro USB ports. I don't want the keyboard dock, I have my laptop for computing. I just want a cable for it. So far I can only find the Asus dongle for the TF101(compatible right? Same proprietary port?), but that's only for an SD card, not a USB-female port.
Do you mean this? If you need to hook up a usb device to the prime, you need a dongle like the one below.

That's exactly what I meant, thanks! And sorry about that, fixed.
No problem
Would something like this work with the charger/data cable that comes with it?

good question, i was looking at picking one of these up so i could use my ps3 controller with my prime's included charging cable.....
http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Female-5-Pin-Male-Adapter/dp/B002S7PS8M
USB female to mini-usb male.
would this work and do i really need to shell out for that box, i just don;t understand what exactly it does, i think for what i'm trying to do it should be fine, i could see the issues when trying to use a usb hdd as i could see more drivers needed to even access the data from the drive....i would think a ps3 controller would just show up....any suggestions or buying some extra box to carry around 100% necessary....

Bought this last week thinking the same thing.
Does not recognize devices. Something is weird about the dock cable.
I was trying to pair my PS3 controller, I ended up doing it with the keyboard port instead.
On a somewhat related note, I dont recommend you buy the item at that link. I ended up chucking mine out because it was too loose to hold the cables in... and its mustard yellow...eww
I've yet to confirm this myself, but I believe the dock connector uses different pins for "USB Host" (ex: plugging in a controller to the tablet) and "USB Device" (ex: plugging the tablet into a PC) modes. Using a USB Female-Female adapter, as others above have proven, will not work.
Wait...I spoke to soon, the link above is useless. It's backordered and I can't find it anywhere else. Anyone have an idea?
I got mine from microcenter, in tustin, ca. There might still be one there. And yea I first tried a female to female adapter on the usb charging cable it came with and no dice. However this adapter does work. Plugged my 360 controller in and played some shadowgun.

[Q] Samsung OTG Cable

I have recently been looking for an OTG cable for my Samsung galaxy S3. I have had a look on Samsungs site and have found a cable called: 'Galaxy USB MicroUSB Connector'. Here is a link to the product page: samsung-direct.co.uk/en/products/accessories/mobile-devices/cables/samsung/88 I was wondering if this is the same as an OTG (on the go) cable. Is it?

just search on eBay, that sounds like your normal data cable, haven't checked as I can't be bothered typing your link in!
I'm searching for an OTG (on-the-go) cable. Here is an image of what the connecting parts should look like:

As the person said above, just search eBay. I have the exact one in your picture. It works for the Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note and Galaxy S3 (and probably other Samsung devices).
OTG cables are fairly standard and should work across a wide variety of devices and manufacturers.
SO even if it doesn't explicitely say "Samsung" or "S3", it _should_ work as long as it says "USB OTG".
I had a look on Samsungs site and have found a cable called: 'Galaxy USB MicroUSB Connector'. Here is a link to the product page: http://www.samsung-direct.co.uk/en/products/accessories/mobile-devices/cables/samsung/88 It doesn't mention OTG but the picture looks as it though it is OTG. Can anyone confirm if it is OTG?
I think you know what an otg cable is since you are going to buy one..check the specifications tab..it says micro usb to usb

It is indeed. I have one in my hand now.
Awesome. Thanks guys. Do I need to root my S3 for the cable to work or does it work as standard?
The cable is part of the features so it does not need rooting.
You need an aftermarket kernel however should you want to access ntfs devices.

Thanks again to everyone for clarifying things.

No, there is no such thing. MHL is a digital standard, all the things you each want to connect to are analogue.
You are trying to put diesel in a petrol car, it just won't work.

Yes you can actually convert digital to analog by using an active converter, but that is somewhat expensive and unless you absolutely want to use it it's useless. Link here and also you will need a female to female adapter here for it to work. I have not personally tested but it should work (in theory).
Err, no. There is no MHL to VGA connector for the S3. You've found HDMI equipment, which uses the same plug but would ignore the signal -like plugging an S3 into a HDMI TV that doesn't have MHL, nothing happens.

How about this ? First, you are wrong abut the TV. No TV in existence has MHL. MHL is a standard for MOBILE DEVICES, not TV's
a HDMI TV that doesn't have MHL
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so any adapter from HDMI to VGA that is active will work. Please do a bit of research before you post :good: . And then from VGA to SCART or RCA you will also need another adapter.
Lol, the op wanted to connect a mobile phone to a t.v.so yes, MHL is required in both the phone and the tv.
Relax, chill.

USB/HDMI hub that works without a cover (Found)

I tested all the ports while connected to a Tab S4 and they all work including plugging in an ethernet adapter. This hub does not give the error "Close cover to run DeX" so the Tab S4 tablet does not need a keyboard or book cover to operate with this hub.
I have two ethernet adapters, both work when directly plugged into the S4 however only the 10/100 adapter works when plugged into the hub, the 1000g adapter lights up but does not work. I assume that the faster adapter requires more power than the Samsung adapter can provide.
Is there a Samsung certified power adapter with more capacity than the one that comes with the Tab?
USB C Hub HDMI 4K,7-in-1 Type-C Hub,with Power Pass Through,4K HDMI Output,TF SD Card Reader,3 USB 3.0 Ports,Aplomb Type c Splitter Adapter
Here is my DeX setup and everything used is listed in this thread aside from the monitor
As stated above, here is the compatible hub. USB C Hub HDMI 4K,7-in-1 Type-C Hub,with Power Pass Through,4K HDMI Output,TF SD Card Reader,3 USB 3.0 Ports,Aplomb Type c Splitter Adapter
Ordered this Ethernet adapter and it works great with the above hub. Anker 1g Enet adapter
I just received this stand for $10 on Amazon, great quality stand and much better than I expected. I decided to put the tablet on a stand for three reasons. First, it takes up less space this way, second, it allowed for a stree-free USB connection, and lastly, because I have DeX set up to extend my mouse off the right side of my monitor onto the left side of the tablet so I can use my mouse on the tablet as well.
I'm using a Logitech keyboard that I had, it's the 2.4ghz kind and the Logitech Unifying receiver is plugged into the hub.
The mouse is a Microsoft Surface Arc mouse that I bought for use with my Galaxy Bool.
The tablet is a Galaxy Tab S4.
It all works great but I don't know how much use this setup will get once the newness wears off
