Using USB to ethernet port in Tablet


USB to ethernet portTablets have facility to adapt ethernet port (wired internet). I discovered it in my Android tablet. To use internet via USB to ethernet port you need a router and USB to ethernet port. Before purchasing your own USB to ethernet port just check Settings -> Wireless & Networks in Android tablet. Under Wireless & Networks you have options for Ethernet. If you have Ethernet option then you can access via Ethernet port. You may have used internet in tablet by Wi-Fi (wireless) and if you need to access internet via wired line this port will help you.

Things Needed
> Tablet with Ethernet option
> USB port or mini-USB port in Tablet
> Router / Modem

I found there is ethernet option in some Android tablets. I hope this option will also be available in other tablets too.

USB to ethernet port cost
Cost of USB to Ethernet port will be about Rs 500. I bought it for same cost. I found some of the ebay sellers were selling for Rs.250 as well. I tried other online selling sites like Flipkart and Naaptol but this component is not available. I don't know how to choose good port and So I choose Rs.500 port.

How to connect
Below I have given steps to connect USB to Ethernet port in Android Tablet.

Step 1: Connect a USB side of USB to Ethernet port to tablet. If your tablet doesn't have USB then you need to purchase mini-USB to USB port.

Step 2: You will find a wire connected to your router as LAN (mostly in Yellow or Blue color). This LAN wire has two ends. One end will be in your router and the other in your PC. Plug out the LAN connected to your PC and Plug in the USB to Ethernet port.

Step 3: You can find light glowing inside USB to ethernet port. Also, there will notification in your Android tablet.

Step 4: Then open your "Default Browser (pre installed in your tablet)".

Step 5: Your tablet is now connected to internet via ethernet port.

Can we access internet via USB to ethernet port in Mobile
Yes, if you have ethernet option in your mobile settings then you can access internet via USB to ethernet port. I haven't tried in mobile phones. Just go to your mobile settings and search Network settings. If there is option like "ethernet" you can access.

Only advantage is the investment is less and you can make use of your router / modem wisely. If you want to purchase a Wi-Fi enabled modem it will cost you Rs.1500 which is the minimum price. If you are the only person going to use internet, then choose this port. If there are more than one person and want to access internet in several device choose Wi-Fi modem.

If you have any problem or need to troubleshoot, then post your comment below.

Hi

Does it work with (10/100/1000MBPS) all speed on android tablet.
Which Tablet are you using?
I have the Samsumg galaxy tab 2, and not sure if I should buy the 1000MBPS USB ethernet adapter.

Hi John
It's just a converter. Speed depends upon the modem or router you use. I am using Google Nexus 7. Using USB to Ethernet port you can access wired connection (example LAN) in tablets.

No, you don't need driver. It's just like a USB cable.

WoW! This is really a great tutorial. I searched for it on Google and ultimately the result came from Techulator. I understood the article fully but the problem is that I searched USB to ethernet port cable in the whole market but was unable to get it. After this, I searched it on the online website also but no result. So, can you please give me a link to order this USB to ethernet port cable online. That would be so nice of you.

This cable is available at ebay.in. Search in eBay website. It cost from Rs.200 to Rs.500.

Thank you for your guide , I have a question ,
Do you know of a mobile phone who has an Ethernet settings ?
I am searching for a long time , but still no luck


Author: Mobile Boy    09 Mar 2013Member Level: Diamond   Points : 2
Yuvi, I can't get you. Ethernet settings will be available by default in Android OS. You can see that in Settings -> Ethernet. All the smartphone OS like Android, iOS, Windows has got this settings by default. Java mobile phones doesn't have this settings.

Hi Mobile boy...
Can you tell me how to connect internet by using mobile network in the aakash tablet(Ubisalate 7Ci).
There is no SIM slot and not supporting phone function but these options are there...
In the "Mobile network setting" there is a option..
1.Data enabled(Enable data access over Mobile network)
2.Data roaming(Connect to data services when roaming)
3.Access Point Names
4.Use only 2G networks(saves battery)
5.Network Operators(select a network operator)
when we search for network then it show "Error when searching the network"

Hi Anil,
These option will be useful when you use SIM card dongle (Multi SIM). You need to buy this separately. Connect it via USB. Using it you can access 2G or 3G internet. For more information refer the below link.

Mobile Boy,

Is there no need to configure IP address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway

Or Does it configures automatically


Author: Mobile Boy    17 Mar 2013Member Level: Diamond   Points : 0
@Anthony,
You NO NEED to configure anything. As you said it configures automatically. Because it just acts like an extension wire. I think you have got it.

Can I use mini USB to Ethernet with my HTC to directly connect my Xbox live?


Author: Mobile Boy    30 Mar 2013Member Level: Diamond   Points : 0
Sorry I don't know about Xbox. I think it won't support because in case of ethernet you have default configuration.

Do you tick the "Use Ethernet" check box? Only if you check this box your ethernet detects the device.

If the Use Internet option is checked already then disable and enable one time.


Author: Joze    09 Apr 2013Member Level: Bronze   Points : 0
Yes, I check that. I also try to connect other usb devices, but no success.
I use two different tabled devices but both with version 4.0.4.

Do I miss something else maybe?


Author: Mobile Boy    09 Apr 2013Member Level: Diamond   Points : 2
Don't worry about Andoird version, I am also using the same version.

Does your USB to ethernet cable light blinks? Sometimes there may be loose connection. Its strange! I don't know why its detecting to you.

Can you tell me how you connected your "USB to ethernet cable" to your tablet?


Guest Author: shashi     09 Apr 2013
I have Karbonn Velox 8 with Jellybean OS and there is Ethenet setting option available in tab. I need to know how to configure my ethernet setting either in DCHP mode or Static Mode. Also when I connect Ethernet to my tab no notification is coming on my tab.

@shashi
I have the same thing. Problem is, because tabled don't recognize usb device "not even external disc".

@Mobile Boy
One of my USB to ethernet cable is just the same like on your picture upper and have no lights. The other one have one light but is not turned on, when I put it to tabled and plug ethernet cable from router.
First I use mini to standard converter, then I use USB to ethernet adapter.


Author: Mobile Boy    10 Apr 2013Member Level: Diamond   Points : 0
I think you have given direct connection. You should use Modem LAN connection. Only if you use the LAN connection the light blinks. If the light doesn't blinks means your connection is wrong.
