- Many people have asked me how to use ethernet instead of WiFi with their tablet or smartphone.
While the idea is simple enough, getting ethernet to actually work with your gizmo can be anything but easy...
Some devices simply won't work with certain USB-Ethernet dongles, and other devices won't work at all with any dongle - period.
So, the short answer is: it's complicated!
You often can find one that works though, so don't lose all hope.
Also, watch the vid to learn some of the other pitfalls of getting ethernet to work with your smartphone or tablet.
What type of USB plug do you need on the dongle for your device? See here:

Scottie: Wants to save a couple of split seconds by using the term "dongle"
Also Scottie: *spends forever explaining why the term "dongle" is technically incorrect but actually correct and why he will use it*
THIS IS MY 1ST EVER YOU TUBE POST! Scottie you deserve it. Your channel and all your videos I have watched have been informative to the point and easy to follow. Only a handfull of people should post videos and your in that group. Elite!
I cant explain how much i love your videos bcz ' its complicated'
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Gold mate Gold! thanks Scottie.The many need techie's like you in this age
Great information... Thanks!
I have been wondering awhile if you could connect your wifi smartphones/tablets to an ethernet. I now know the answer is YES...
Depends its complicated
Interesting video, Scottie! As always, I enjoy the videos and keep making them!
I hate to ask a question like this but my ISP techs aren’t the greatest at configuring issues and I’ve searched a lot about this issue and can’t find a solution.
I turn my devices all off at the end of the night. When my gf gets up in the morning before me, she turns on her phone and it finds the router but doesn’t want to transfer any data, so she has to reset the router and then it works. I wake up an hour or two later and turn on my phone and it done the same thing, but it also makes every device in the house lose connection until we reset. This started happening when our ISP swapped our modem/router. We have a dual band router off their modem/router and the ISP turned off WiFi on their modem/router. It’s not a serious issue but it’s annoying to have to reset the router 2-3 times daily. I don’t know much but I’m thinking this has to do with my dual band router recognizing a new IP after it disconnects for a certain period of time. I hate to blame the isp’s router but it started happening after they put a new one in. We’ve had the same dual band for years so nothing there has changed.
If you don’t want to help, I understand. If anyone else wants to chime in, please do!
Thanks for the great videos, Scottie! Keep up the great work!
...you help me a lot, love your work thanks so much!
Great idea. Gonna have to try that. I've already got all the stuff.
This video took so flippin long for telling me this information: "you can use Ethernet on your smartphone and tablet with a dongle. There are different types of dongles."
You so smart you should know already...very informative and useful for me...and a very pleasant presentation unlike some of the loudmouth "experts".
+ Amazon devices might not work with a dongle (Ethernet adapter) because they don't have the drivers pre-installed) that's a take away
But he told everyone that it doesn't work on all smartphones & tablets & it can be difficult trying to ascertain that information. Personally i find that to be very useful information.
@@craiga7652 Okay. So you added about 5-10 seconds worth of the 5-10 seconds that the original comment you responded to, took to sum up this ENTIRE video.
So you doubled the time, and it still only added up to less than 30 seconds. AS OPPOSED to the 11 minutes extra that the video took. To be clear at 6:24 he is about to show the "THIS GUY" for the fast ethernet adapter, and cuts the video then proceeds to explain some more after repeating the question, ONCE AGAIN, and stating it's complicated. SHORT ANSWER IS.. YES. ALWAYS START WITH THE YES, THEN EXPLAIN THERE ARE CONSIDERATIONS. JEEZ. HOW HARD WAS THAT. lol
Most claim they're pointless, but at work they have great use.
I work at McDonalds and we use them on our iPads for our UberEats and Table tracker iPads.
Often the WiFi in the restaurant goes down due to congestion or low temperatures in the server room (Northern Canada, -35c regularly here) and the LAN always works no matter what.
Without this our UberEats and Table service just wouldn't work 1/2 of the time!
That's the other thing I love about ethernet: it either works, or it doesn't. When it works, it's always the same zippy speed.
Love the black tape over the selfie camera👽😆
Just today I received a Tecknet USBC to Ethernet adapter from Amazon for my Samsung Galaxy S5e tablet, plugged it in and it was picked up immediately! It was plug and play, it did come up asking for all sorts of info, like IP address, DNS name etc., but I noticed that the Ethernet icon was showing on the top, tried to go to a website, and voila! I'm so happy because since the last Windows update my HP laptop has stopped working with the Ethernet adapters and I get very poor WiFi signals, which works only occasionally (when the wind is blowing in the right direction, today it's not, so I'm now on my tablet 🙄) TFS 👍❤
Awesome video! Thanks for posting.
Thanks so much for posting this!!!!!! I wish someone would share a complete listing of compatible phones/dongles. i can use my att galaxy s8 active with a dell usbC dongle. I have also used apple dongle with ipad, 2nd generation. i cannot find a working dongle for my verizon galaxy note4 though :( may have to upgrade to another phone it seems.....
This is useful, thank you.
Now all I need are instructions on how to prevent my cats chewing through the cable as they did the other day... 🐈🐈😊
Well, dealing with most cats....it's complicated.
Moggridge I bought this length of flexible plastic tubing that is cut open. It opens enough to get your cord in there and then it closes back up. It's clear and it was especially made for this. They've never even tried to chew on it but it also smelled ghastly for at least 2 weeks. I don't remember what it was called or even where I bought it. Got it. Chewsafe Is it the plastic or the smell? I'm going to need more. Up to your nose, it still smells. Thought we could get by cheaper.
@@VickiTakacs. Thanks, Vicki! 👍🐈🐈
@@fredflintstone4715 😂
@@moggridge1 You're welcome but read some trustworthy reviews on the smell because while not a skunk it's bad and I don't truly remember how long it lasted, but it works!
Thank You Scottie! :)
Thumbs up Indiana USA.
Dude put a tiny piece of electrical (?) tape on his camera and uses AndFTP, VLC, and some other stuff. I like this guy.
We use a dongle for Huawei and Honor phones, and for out iPhones and iPads we use an ethernet adapter along with the Lightening to USB3 Camera adapter (as for Apple it needs to be powered) and they all work fine. Apple is more expensive as the adapter isnt cheap.
ALRIGHT!!!! more new videos ,)

Great advice with using amazon in this way, good conformation that it's compatible
And their it is !
Its getting the adapter now .
Thanks, good to know :)
thanks i tried that on my smartphone and worked
sam o , What brand and model of smartphone do you have, what dongle did you use, and are you in the USA? Thanks.
Neat never thought of using a usb to Ethernet adapter for mobile.
Harry Bob because it's crazy...
I have a samsung dex station, which allows me to connect an hdmi out to a monitor and a keyboard in and im looking for a way to get ethernet so this works perfectly for me since I have an extra USB spot
Thank you for the first honest -- and helpful -- video I've seen about the "complications"! Which bears out the many hours so far sshuttling between TH-cam videos (most very out of date), online articles and forums (informative but contradictory) and Amazon.co.uk listings (necessary but maddening when comments contradict manufacturers' assertions -- if they make them) trying to find out whether my tablet & phone will connect to Ethernet (in principle, yes and yes) and if so, which adapter to get -- which is very much harder to check or decide, especially as I want a powered hub. But at least I'm now reassured that trying to identify something that will work actually IS a headache to find out, and not just due to my ignorance.
PS For anyone who might be helped by this, my Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 and Galaxy Note 9 should in principle both connect via Ethernet, given the greyed-out "Ethernet" listing in Settings > Connections > More connection settings > Ethernet. And one valuable thing I've learnt from this video is (once having dound a suitable adapter hub) to keep wifi connected before plugging in Ethernet cable, in order then to turn off wifi in Settings... Thanks again
No, you're not dumb: It's a real nightmare sometimes!! And it really shouldn't be that way.
So.. if I do not have cell phone reception at my home, and most internet companies do not service my home area.. can I plug my cellphone/android into an Ethernet cable so I can get connected with service like I would with Wifi?
thanks
The speed is 100x faster than wifi... Good for download huge files
Most health studies regarding wifi or 5G are questionable as the stats can be compiled to show any outcome. The real and most legitimate reason to use ethernet is wifi's and cell signal's lack of privacy and vulnerability to data interception.
Not to merntion stability
Thank you Scottie but can you talk about hard wiring a personal hotspot connection? so for instants turning on your personal hotspot on a phone and using a standard sized double ended female USB adapter and two usb cables and essentially plugging a phone into another phone or a phone into a laptop etc to share an internet connection. that would be a cool video New sub btw enjoying your stuff thanks
Awesome video. Inspired me to buy an adapter since I now have true unlimited 4G with Three.co.uk and tethering over USB in the phone settings does it. Sony Xperia Z3
Oh use tethering option
So. With that dungle I could get internet for multiple devices at the same time?
Thanks for the video. You are awesome. I bought an adapter, unfortunately it is not plug and play. I have the driver in a CD. How can i install it in android mobile? It would be great to share the link, if you already did a video. Thanks.
I have gotten a Kindle Fire HD 10 9th generation Tablet to work with a BenFei ethernet adapter. Note that at some point in the past I added some packages (apk files) to the Fire so that I could get the Google Play Store and put Google Chrome on the tablet. When the Ethernet is connected, there is a "" symbol in the upper right corner of the screen, which is the same symbol that appears on an Google Pixel phone that I tested with ethernet as well. I have a Galaxy phone that shows the icon that you indicate...
Oo! I never tried that... Thanks!
Thank Scotty
Can you do ethernet on an S10 galaxy phone? And what adapter would you suggest
ok so my phone is reverse charging on an amazonbasics lan to c type converter what do i do about it
Hey Scottie thanks for the video! I have the dongle very similar to what you show for my iPhone as well as the Ethernet cable, hardwired into the house. Everything works when connected to Ethernet except FaceTime and iMessage. Any idea why this could be?
Android sometimes does the same thing... I think what's happening is that some apps on the phone can't "see" the Ethernet as a net connection. So if WiFi is off, they think you're offline (or parts of the software do, anyway). I don't know of any fix for it, unfortunately. Everybody just assumes we all use WiFi, all the time!
super useful information, thanks !! i have LG G6 android 8, but I cant connect the generic white dongle, and I didnt see the RNDIS ethernet option from develop section, ,, do u know about android 8 with ethernet ? thank u for sharing
Congratulations about the facom tools.
can you recommend a sleeping net? ir have too many neighbour wifi's
Hypolaristic yes please. Im also interested
bluetrinity haloseven hm thats interesting!
Anyhow, if you sit for example in front of an plasma tv that emits high emf radiation, wouldnd it be better to ground yourself to get rid of the radiation instead just being grilled with it like a steak on a grill?
Also wouldn't a grounded mosquito like net that is conductive guard me against emf in my bed?

if.. your phone have internet, and you have old laptop that have a usb problem, and that laptop does't have wifi, can we reverse the connection using phone internet using ethernet cable??

There are crystal radios that don’t require a battery.
Can a copper spool generate enough power to charge a cell phone?
How would that work?
I don't know but a cheap solar power 'mat' of the type sold in automotive stores for trickle charging car battery's can be made to work (I've done this) and nowadays there are similar ones made for that specific purpose on flea bay, ali xp#### etc
I love your videos! So helpful. Can you please test out copper/silver woven fabric and clothes (shirt) to see if it blocks WIFI/BT/EMF/5G?

Dude hell yeah. I've been trying to find a solution that will charge my samsumg S8+ while giving it ethernet (ethernet adapters drain the battery), and also allowing it to output audio to my speakers all through USBC. I think it might work with a hub but I haven't tried it yet.
Right!? My Galaxy S8+ is dang near dead after an hour or so plugged in to ethernet (Insignia dongle w/ just Ethernet to C). So excited to hear of a possible solution! 🙂
Did you find a solution? what hub do you use?

Hi sir, What ethernet adapter working for realme 6 please reply asap thank you so much
Could you use the USB 6 in 1 and ethernet cable lets say ethernet cable connected to ps4 and usb c cable into phone with the USB tethering turned on to your phone. And use your phone for a tethering Hotspot? Or maybe there's something I could use that way instead of using regular Hotspot. Im thinking tethering it could be faster speed?
That kind of thing IS possible, but it usually requires either a special app and/or rooting your phone and hacking things a bit.

If I plugged one into my phone and then into my computer would the connection be faster if I use a hotspot for gaming?
I think you'd have to do USB Tethering. The puter would then use the phone's internet over a simple USB cable. But your phone must support it, and I've found it's not always terribly reliable. It sometimes takes awhile for the puter to 'see' the net connection.

It can, but I've never gotten it to work (IOW, using 4G for ethernet-connected device's internet access). Supposedly, it's possible but I would have had to root my phone, which I didn't want to do.
