The questions is: How can I use a connection Ethernet with a static IP, login into an APP, and keeping my internet connection ? I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S8 and the phone does not have the Mobile data only apps options.

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?
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.

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...
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.
@@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!
@@cspill99 Well, usually it either works or it doesn't. Maybe try enabling WiFi at the same time, and/or turning off airplane mode? Sometimes WiFi needs to be on, and then Ethernet will work... except it will automatically turn the actual WiFi hardware off even tho it appears to be on. That's about the only thing I can think of... Unless there are network settings for the Ethernet adapter (there are on my Samsung tablet). You could try setting a static IP address instead of using DHCP. It might be some kind of lower-level bug with network settings when you connect an Ethernet adapter.
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 👍❤
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!
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?
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?
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.
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.
The CD usually contains drivers for laptop and desktop computers. You can't install drivers for smartphones or tablets which is why it's important to make sure the adapter you buy will work with your particular phone/tablet.
Notgonna Tellya dude, i have an actual radiation meter and at least on apple devices it is fully off and radiation is ZERO! How do you come to your conclusions?
is your meter capable of reading what is being emitted? do you even know what to look for? you must search for something beyond what they tell you is there. your little meter will not tell you. there is much more going on .....
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!
Hello, I have a Xiaomi redmi note 8 and I have a type C cable to RJ45 converter but when connecting on a cell phone it does not give internet access. what should I do? Thanks greetings from Colombia 👍
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...
I've never seen anything like that, but it would be pretty cool. POE provides ~12W or so to devices, so it would certainly be enough to charge a gizmo pretty quickly. The dongle would need to pass the power thru to the USB port. Normal dongles CAN be used with a POE switch/device, because POE is negotiated when devices are connected together - so you shouldn't fry your dongle if using a POE switch.
Hi Scotties, I have an Asus tablet and I can't connect to wifi. It tells me authentication error, I did a lot things after searching on you tube. I was thinking of using a Wi-Fi adapter. How good are those adapters?
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
I'm here because of two things: 1) I want to know the difference between USB tethering and Ethernet tethering. 2) I want to know which is faster. I have a Samsung Z Flip 5G. What I'm kind of understanding, which is complicated haha- is that USB tethering makes use of one cable adapter whereas Ethernet tethering makes use of a dongle adapter and an Ethernet cable. The second case might be applied more to connect a PC or perhaps a live camera. Can someone help me with my 2nd question? Great video! Btw
That's a good question, but I'm afraid I don't know the exact answer. Since your phone appears to have a USB3 type C connector, it can easily support 1Gbps download speeds over either USB or Ethernet. The faster connection would depend on the exact implementation of USB vs Ethernet tethering. My guess is they'd both be the same speed, but latency might be a bit higher for one or the other. Hard to say!
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
Thanks @Scottie! Was wondering have you stumbled onto a situation where a tablet will only allow for power or network communication at a time? I have a Teclast P20HD_EEA tablet with USB-C connection and tried many dongles. None would work for me. Apparently this type of tablet cannot do both at the same time. Any thoughts on this? Possible resolves you can think off? Thanks. 🙂
It depends on the gizmo AND on the USB-Ethernet adapter. Some adapters (like fancy ones with multiple USB ports + HDMI + Ethernet) will allow you to use all the ports and charge the tablet/phone at the same time. Others, no. And then, it depends on the tablet/phone itself and how they implemented the USB port. Sometimes, they cut corners!
@@ScottiesTech Thanks for the quick response! I guess the manufacturer of this tablet cut corners, as it looks the tablet itself is not allowing both at the same time. Are there still work arounds that you might have come across to by pass this issue? a dongle that might switch automatically or scheduled between the two? Or a software update of drivers?
Hey scott, could be stupid question... If i crack open the back case and remove the wifi chip would ethernet still work? Does ethernet have its own chip? Do you know by the way what brands/models allows the ethernet feature through the charging port? Thanks
You can try, but most likely: 1. WiFi is not an easily-removable dedicated component 2. Even if it is, removing it is usually not easy 3. Removing it may cause issues, like some phones/tablets require WiFi to be on in order for Ethernet to work at all (don't ask me) As for which models support ethernet, it's a toss-up - but in general, Amazon devices are a no-go with Ethernet, Samsung is usually quite friendly, Xiaomi usually works if it's a USB-C port, etc. Trouble is, it's by device and sometimes even a big Android/UI update can screw it up. So, that's why I say Google it, cuz it even changes every now and then. That's for older devices... But nowadays, the majority of devices with USB-C ports that I've tried seem to support most of the adapters out there - except Amazon gizmos!
Can you do this the other way around like can you make your mobile phone into the internet provider and connect thr usb to the device you want to connect
Usually not without some 'hacking', rooting the phone, etc. - as far as I know. Using the phone as a WiFi hotspot for your puter is super-easy tho, of course...
@@ScottiesTech In my secondary laptop which is an old one and upgrade from win 7 to 10 but there is a problem with wifi connectivity and... my question remained the same because my laptop USB is already in use and I do not want to purchase an unnecessary external USB hub component if there would be one option of LAN connection to access the LAN port.
Interesting video I am trying to connect my cnc to internet connection it only has Ethernet connection but my laptop doesn’t have Ethernet port my question is do these adapters work to send data from wifi laptop to my cnc or are they only to transfer from an internet source to tablet phone etc as it isn’t working (sending data from my laptop to the cnc 🧐 any advice would be appreciated
Uh, a little bit complicated. However, which is the best USB adaptor for iPad Air 2 now( 2020)? I bought tp-link, nah, it needs the installation of the driver. I got a bad experience with my laptop; thank you:) I use Cat 7 shielded cable, can it work with Apple USB Adapter?
I have used an Ethernet adapters on several Honor, Huawei and iPhones and they all work without issue. The iPhones are a pain though because you need to provide power to the adapter via the Apple Lightening to USB 3 Camera kit.
@@wtfvids3472 Radiation probably makes you think about waste hazards and nuclear bombs. While that’s fair, there are plenty of very safe forms of radiation. In fact, we’re constantly bathing in background radiation, like cosmic rays from the sun. Ionizing radiation appears at wavelengths above ultraviolet light, aka X-rays and gamma rays. These can damage your DNA by knocking electrons out of the base molecules, leading to tumors and cancer. Even with the argument of being 'microwaved to death' there is no possibility, unless we all own multiple 5g towers(or billions) that we would get even close to that of a microwave, its to sparce.
@@wtfvids3472 in fact, the phone that I have right now is immiting radiation, although some more than others( Xiami, Oppo reno, and Apple are top of the phone brands that immite the highest amount of electricity). To see how idiotic this sounds in retrospect, I advise you to look up the war of the currents and anti electrity propaganda. Although in the earlier days, they had some points, most of the 'highly dangerous' claims do not put up in the 5G scare. We've all been in the days of 2G(although you've probably lived more during that time) and the scare of 3g and 4g, so what's different about Lowbandwith 5G or even millimeter wave 5G?
I think a large number of Android devices will work out of the box with USB-C to ethernet adapters. I don't know about iPhones. I tested on an iPad Pro with USB-C and the ethernet adapter did work.
Just got a Samsung A11 having problems with setting it up for ethernet can you help or does it just not work. the lights on the adapter aren't lighting up.
i have a samsung note 9. when i conect the ethernet cable it will breifly connect but then within a minute it disconnects and then it wont reconnect. any idea what i should do?
Hmm. Sometimes you have to go into the settings to set the ethernet up. For example, in the Note 8, you had to connect the ethernet dongle, and then do: Settings > Connections > More connection settings > Ethernet, and follow the prompts. Maybe that's the ticket?
@@ScottiesTech got there in the end. I had to have the wifi off and on flight mode BEFORE connecting the cable, and if it wasnt the phone had to e restarted before it would work again

If it isn’t possible could I use wifi to computer and then an adapter to get a wired connection like usb from computer to a phone or tablet?
Scottie, do you say it is complicated -- when it is really not -- to scare people into not trying to use an environmentally better method of accessing the Internet? Are you paid by the wireless telecom industry?
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
can I share my tethered ethernet connection from my phone and have it push data through the router? Like Phone in tethered mode=>Router=> Wifi hotspot powered by tether. Could I do something like this with a usb c to a ethernet adapter from my note 9?
Oh boy, that's tricky. Usually, Android doesn't like to let you use an ethernet dongle for anything other than getting on the net (at least in my experience). I'm pretty sure if you root the Note 9, you can make it do anything you want. But it's not easy, for sure... At least as far as I know.
Rural internet by cell service only. I tried dongle from hotspot phone to Cradlepoint router. Didnt work. I use normal usbc to usb and tether to Cradlepoint m95. Works fine. Hard to find router with usb input; most dont.
I have a Samsung Tab A 10. 1" 2016 and I can't connect it through Ethernet. I also tried with my samsung galaxy j6 but I wasn't able to connect it. Do I need a special adaptor? The one I bought showns the red light on but it doesn't connect or show anything on my screen. Thank you
@@ScottiesTech Thank you very much for your answer. I have a 2.0 but I guess I must do something in the configuration as I don't reach to know what is it. The adaptor you sent me isn't anymore available in Amazon, but I will try to find it and see if it works Thank you!!
Usually not... Although there are some phones where you can do that, but it usually requires an app and/or other shenanigans like developer mode options, rooting, etc.
Is it possible to reverse? I want to share internet from my mobile to laptop via ethernet. I do have ethernet to usb cable type A which can be connected to laptop USB port.
That's usually not so easy, and most often requires rooting the phone. The unfortunately simple solution in this case is to use the phone to create a WiFi Hotspot, and then of course you can connect whatever you want to use the phone's internet connection.
i connected one of those ethernet dongles with 3 usb ports to samsung s8. didn't work. it has usb port but i got a usb to usb-c adapter. nothing happens when I plug it in, nada ..
Apple phone and tablet works with expensive adapter set and Chrome book with cheap adapter but what about Samsung tablet . Could not get Fire tablets to work on Ethernet can you help ?
Each one usually requires a specific adapter... I usually just Google it and find one that works. Fire tablets will not work with Ethernet because Amazon is dumb. :)
19 Dec 2021. I just tried to use a dongle for the Amazon Fire HD 10 and it does not work. It has been two years since this video came out. Did any find a way to make a Amazon Fire tablet connect to ethernet? I would very much like to use my tablet while I am in the basement. My router is on the top floor of a two story home.
When I use my ethernet adapter with my phone to try and connect to the Xbox One the ethernet option won't toggle on. I am able to click on it but it just won't stay connected.
As far as I know, you need to root your phone if you want to do fancier stuff like that. It's easy to use your mobile connection and have the phone itself be a WiFi hotspot, but other combinations are not quite so easy.
The 3 usb entries on top, can you also connect them to another device to share ethernet? Eg. 2 kids playing on each tablet? Or are the 3 subs acting as a hub only?
In most cases, I don't think it could be done easily. Some customized versions of Android might also freak out if hardware it expects to find is no longer there... not sure!
Any chance you could do a video on right to repair laws? Most people, including me until yesterday, don't know that companies like apple want it to be illegal to fix your own equipment and have gone after shops that fix their equipment.
Sybrand Botes, There are many offline apps that are useful for me, such as dashcams and foreign language learning. I would like to turn one of my beater phones into a pocket sized "bad pc." I hate wifi for reasons I don't have time to share. Instead of disabling the radios, I would like to remove them. As Scotty stated, there might be software issues. And another thing is finding the schematic so I actually know what is a radio. Phone companies don't want people working on their own phones. That's why passing right to repair laws is so important. After all, when you buy a phone it should be yours to do with as you see fit.
AB if you're tech savvy you can build a PDA type thing without wireless that runs Linux. Search "noodle pi". Unfortunately it won't be powerful enough to run android so you won't have access to your apps.
BlueTooth is lower power than WiFi, but several studies have demonstrated that power levels aren't the only thing to worry about. So, if I can go wired, I do.
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
Traditional calls and text messages require the cell network more or less - unless you are using calls/messaging in a specific app, or if you use 'WiFi calling' (on some phones, with some service providers).
@@ScottiesTech thank you for responding! So since we currently use wifi calling connecting to cable would not work then since it has to be through wifi? So I would need to find an app to be able to do that is that correct? Lol thats why I say I'm not tech savvy!
Hi there, i wanna connect my android to pc with data cable and do mirroring like cast to my pc monitor, but i want to connect to internet with lan cable to. is QacQoc USB (C) 6-in-1 have capability to do that ?. Thanks
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! 🙂
My Amazon tablet used to work with an Ethernet adapter but they pushed an update and it no longer works. And my WiFi drops like crazy. I'm at a loss as to what to do. People on the web are saying it's a band steering problem but none of the solutions work.
Yes, but... There are USB -> Everything hubs that have Ethernet, USB ports, HDMI, etc. I have one. The only problem is that I haven't yet found one that allows FAST charging. Usually, they're enough to supply enough 'working juice', but not enough to power + recharge battery + do Ethernet (and whatever other gizmos are attached).
then again that might be enough I was thinking of getting a cheap 5g phone instead of buying a 4g router using this adapter it works connected to a cheap ethernet switch
Is it possible to connect a mobile-device with ethernet dongle to a switch an share the Handy-Mobile with my House-Devices? So i would use my phone, when i am at home, as my LTE-Router.
I am able to use usb tethering from my phone to my laptop. But I tried that same phone with usb type c cable and tried to connect it in in the usb type c port of my tablet but it didn't work. USB tethering was greyed out on my phone. Any other suggestions?
Phone -> Tablet is often tricky and usually requires a special app and/or rooting the tablet... Usually, I just create a WiFi hotspot on the phone, then use that on the tablet. Since I don't do it very often, that was my not-very-wired solution.
If your device do not support USB "on the go/OTG" Ethernet, then you can use USB reverse tethering if you have a computer with Ethernet. Look it up on youtube. It is not as convenient and can't download from Google play, but regular surfing the net is great.

You could try setting a static IP address instead of using DHCP. It might be some kind of lower-level bug with network settings when you connect an Ethernet adapter.
@@ScottiesTech it displays for about 90 secs. I've tried disabling the wifi, nothing happened.
@@ScottiesTech the airplane mode didn't change anything either. I'll try the ip setup.
Can you still use your mic jack ?
If it's a USB -> Mic adapter, you should be able to use it if you get a USB-Ethernet adapter with USB ports on it. Usually, that works...
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 👍❤
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!
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?

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.
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.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this with us!
why some comes with cd
bcz we cant use cd in smartphone
The CD usually contains drivers for laptop and desktop computers. You can't install drivers for smartphones or tablets which is why it's important to make sure the adapter you buy will work with your particular phone/tablet.
Thank you for sharing this useful info.
Love the black tape over the selfie camera👽😆
but that does not shut off the wifi.
it still pummels you.
you still get radiated.

Jab the wifi part of the chip with a hot soldering iron?
flymode does shut off any communication over the air
sure it does
but wifi is not off
it is never off
there is no off
that setting disallows use
but it is still on
radiating just the same
Notgonna Tellya dude, i have an actual radiation meter and at least on apple devices it is fully off and radiation is ZERO!
How do you come to your conclusions?
is your meter capable of reading what is being emitted?
do you even know what to look for?
you must search for something beyond what they tell you is there.

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!

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.

Can you charge your phone/tablet using Ethernet if the switch you use is POE? I assume it's not a thing at the moment.
I've never seen anything like that, but it would be pretty cool. POE provides ~12W or so to devices, so it would certainly be enough to charge a gizmo pretty quickly. The dongle would need to pass the power thru to the USB port. Normal dongles CAN be used with a POE switch/device, because POE is negotiated when devices are connected together - so you shouldn't fry your dongle if using a POE switch.
Belkin usb-c to ethernet charge adapter
Hi Scotties,
I have an Asus tablet and I can't connect to wifi. It tells me authentication error, I did a lot things after searching on you tube. I was thinking of using a Wi-Fi adapter. How good are those adapters?
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
I'm here because of two things:
1) I want to know the difference between USB tethering and Ethernet tethering. 2) I want to know which is faster. I have a Samsung Z Flip 5G. What I'm kind of understanding, which is complicated haha- is that USB tethering makes use of one cable adapter whereas Ethernet tethering makes use of a dongle adapter and an Ethernet cable. The second case might be applied more to connect a PC or perhaps a live camera. Can someone help me with my 2nd question?
Great video! Btw
That's a good question, but I'm afraid I don't know the exact answer. Since your phone appears to have a USB3 type C connector, it can easily support 1Gbps download speeds over either USB or Ethernet. The faster connection would depend on the exact implementation of USB vs Ethernet tethering. My guess is they'd both be the same speed, but latency might be a bit higher for one or the other. Hard to say!
Will the internet speed gonna be enhanced.? I want to know if it gives better ping while playing games
Yes, you should definitely get a faster ping time.
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
Thanks @Scottie! Was wondering have you stumbled onto a situation where a tablet will only allow for power or network communication at a time? I have a Teclast P20HD_EEA tablet with USB-C connection and tried many dongles. None would work for me. Apparently this type of tablet cannot do both at the same time. Any thoughts on this? Possible resolves you can think off? Thanks. 🙂
It depends on the gizmo AND on the USB-Ethernet adapter. Some adapters (like fancy ones with multiple USB ports + HDMI + Ethernet) will allow you to use all the ports and charge the tablet/phone at the same time. Others, no. And then, it depends on the tablet/phone itself and how they implemented the USB port. Sometimes, they cut corners!
@@ScottiesTech Thanks for the quick response! I guess the manufacturer of this tablet cut corners, as it looks the tablet itself is not allowing both at the same time. Are there still work arounds that you might have come across to by pass this issue? a dongle that might switch automatically or scheduled between the two? Or a software update of drivers?
@@theuser5758 Nothing I know of, unfortunately...

Hey scott, could be stupid question...
If i crack open the back case and remove the wifi chip would ethernet still work? Does ethernet have its own chip?
Do you know by the way what brands/models allows the ethernet feature through the charging port?
Thanks
You can try, but most likely:
1. WiFi is not an easily-removable dedicated component
2. Even if it is, removing it is usually not easy
3. Removing it may cause issues, like some phones/tablets require WiFi to be on in order for Ethernet to work at all (don't ask me)
As for which models support ethernet, it's a toss-up - but in general, Amazon devices are a no-go with Ethernet, Samsung is usually quite friendly, Xiaomi usually works if it's a USB-C port, etc. Trouble is, it's by device and sometimes even a big Android/UI update can screw it up. So, that's why I say Google it, cuz it even changes every now and then. That's for older devices... But nowadays, the majority of devices with USB-C ports that I've tried seem to support most of the adapters out there - except Amazon gizmos!
Can you do this the other way around like can you make your mobile phone into the internet provider and connect thr usb to the device you want to connect
Usually not without some 'hacking', rooting the phone, etc. - as far as I know. Using the phone as a WiFi hotspot for your puter is super-easy tho, of course...

@@wtfvids3472 Radiation probably makes you think about waste hazards and nuclear bombs. While that’s fair, there are plenty of very safe forms of radiation. In fact, we’re constantly bathing in background radiation, like cosmic rays from the sun. Ionizing radiation appears at wavelengths above ultraviolet light, aka X-rays and gamma rays. These can damage your DNA by knocking electrons out of the base molecules, leading to tumors and cancer. Even with the argument of being 'microwaved to death' there is no possibility, unless we all own multiple 5g towers(or billions) that we would get even close to that of a microwave, its to sparce.

Although in the earlier days, they had some points, most of the 'highly dangerous' claims do not put up in the 5G scare.

IS THOSE FOR ALL OUT OF THE BOX TABLETS AND SMART PHONES. ?
I think a large number of Android devices will work out of the box with USB-C to ethernet adapters. I don't know about iPhones. I tested on an iPad Pro with USB-C and the ethernet adapter did work.
Just got a Samsung A11 having problems with setting it up for ethernet can you help or does it just not work. the lights on the adapter aren't lighting up.
It's complicated
i have a samsung note 9. when i conect the ethernet cable it will breifly connect but then within a minute it disconnects and then it wont reconnect. any idea what i should do?
Hmm. Sometimes you have to go into the settings to set the ethernet up. For example, in the Note 8, you had to connect the ethernet dongle, and then do: Settings > Connections > More connection settings > Ethernet, and follow the prompts. Maybe that's the ticket?

As far as I know, you need to root your phone if you want to do fancier stuff like that. It's easy to use your mobile connection and have the phone itself be a WiFi hotspot, but other combinations are not quite so easy.
The 3 usb entries on top, can you also connect them to another device to share ethernet?
Eg. 2 kids playing on each tablet? Or are the 3 subs acting as a hub only?
I think that's theoretically possible, but would require some serious hacking to get it to work.
Do you think the physical radios could be removed from a smart phone, so it could be used wired only?
In most cases, I don't think it could be done easily. Some customized versions of Android might also freak out if hardware it expects to find is no longer there... not sure!
Any chance you could do a video on right to repair laws? Most people, including me until yesterday, don't know that companies like apple want it to be illegal to fix your own equipment and have gone after shops that fix their equipment.
AB why would you do this? A smartphone that doesn't support wireless would be fixed to one location and that would just be like a bad PC...
Sybrand Botes, There are many offline apps that are useful for me, such as dashcams and foreign language learning. I would like to turn one of my beater phones into a pocket sized "bad pc." I hate wifi for reasons I don't have time to share. Instead of disabling the radios, I would like to remove them. As Scotty stated, there might be software issues. And another thing is finding the schematic so I actually know what is a radio. Phone companies don't want people working on their own phones. That's why passing right to repair laws is so important. After all, when you buy a phone it should be yours to do with as you see fit.

If your device do not support USB "on the go/OTG" Ethernet, then you can use USB reverse tethering if you have a computer with Ethernet. Look it up on youtube. It is not as convenient and can't download from Google play, but regular surfing the net is great.
