Can I know is there any usb to network port cable for best compatiblity from new or old android phones or tablets?

I need 2 types.

1. is usb c from android phone or tablet to network port cable.

2. is usb micro 2.0 from android phone or tablet to network port cable.

I am using these cables to access internet from a switch or router for phones and tablets.

Cable or adapter also can cause I got some spare network cables here.

There's no Typc C to RJ45 male natively.

There are Type C or Micro USB OTG to RJ45 female adapters sold on Lazada and Shopee.

another thing to add, only Android 9 with new kernel support OTG LAN, tried with lineage OS on OP3T, need older USB LAN Adapter and probably with Realtek chip.
newer OTG LAN = need new kernel/android version.

First item confirm have and will work on Android 9.

https://www.tp-link.com/my/home-networking/...cessory/ue300c/

I tried before on Redmi Note 8 on Android 9 with Type C. Once you connect the adapter it will automatically recognize the USB lan only if you have a LAN cable attached.
Problem is there are no settings like IP or DNS that you can change. You can only view the status of the adapter that is working on the notification bar. You will get whatever fastest speed you have on the gigabit ethernet. In this case my house is 300Mbps, the speedtest is around 2xxMbps.

There are also certain limitation like minimum version of android that supports this. The site below says Andorid ver 6.

https://www.wirelesshack.org/how-to-connect...connection.html

So you have to do a little study on the phone and tablet that you intend to use it on.

i do not know if this TPLINK UE-300C USB adapter will work if you use a Type C to Micro USB converter.

if the phone support OTG and they use older Realtek chip, it may work,
the reason for old realtek chip is because the driver/firmware get baked to linux kernel, newer realtek chip may not work with old kernel.

my OP3T + leanage works with the old Dlink 1312 which is ancient Lan adapter, whereas newer USB-C hub and LAN only work flawlessly with OP7T above.

USB-C to Ethernet, easy, some are linked above

MicroUSB to Ethernet... Harder, avoid the super cheap ones as I have one of them and they only do 10Mbps (more like 6Mbps)

Support depends on your Android phone
Older ones may not support it

The thing is, the USB adapter is not even documented to work with Android. But i saw in manual it supports Chrome OS. So maybe Chrome OS = Android. laugh.gif laugh.gif

https://static.tp-link.com/2020/202007/2020...20datasheet.pdf

Plug it into phone and it works!!! But cannot config it. Yes its probably supported hardware that is baked into OS prior to release. It costs TS less than RM 100 to try anyway.

a lot of hardware does not advertise android support but they just work out of box, all thanks to the linux kernel,
literally every OTG lan, 3.5mm jack, HDMI/DP even Dell USB-C dock, USB-C Display works with a lot android phone, yet you don't see a single android logo on it.

older phone are tricky unless you flash the leanage OS which baked with newer linux kernel, old stock android has slim chance to support those advanced stuff.

If anything, ASIX proudly advertises their AX88179A is supported by Android on their site
https://www.asix.com.tw/en/product/USBEther...hernet/AX88179A

But they're just a chip maker, you'll have to find adapters/hubs that use said chip yourself

I myself have a Ugreen hub that uses said chip, works on Samsung tablet

Type C to MicroB will not work if you use one of those adapters
You're better off getting a USB A ethernet adapter and adapting it to microb

i know, but finding a working OTG Lan for old phone is difficult.
Android 13 will support all without doubt.

Google need to make a phone that support flashing new linux kernel, instead of whole OS.
welp, aint any better than apple's planned obsolesce

Microusb 2.0 network cable is for Lenovo Tab4 10 Plus.

USB-C network cable is for Poco M3 and Poco X5 5G.

Can also recommend charger and also charger cables for the aboce phones?

Poco M3 charger cable almost broken I try using a ubc-c cable found at home but the charging doesnt seem to work.

All the sites are telling me the Lenovo Tab4 10 Plus has a USB C port

That is an older device, so support for the usb ethernet adapter is uncertain
The Poco M3 and X5 should work with most adapters
Personally I'll still go for one with the ASIX chipsets

Charger...
Lenovo tab - any basic 5v2a charger
Poco M3 - any Qualcomm Quick Charge 3 compatible charger
Poco X5 - you will need to use original charger and original cable for 33W fast charging, no other options

Something from a reputable brand like Anker, Ugreen, Baseus will do
Don't get those super cheap rm5 4 port qc3 chargers, they are dangerous
You can use a faster charger (like QC3) on an older device, it'll just charge at the supported speeds
Note: for the X5 I've seen some cables from the Essager brand that claim Xiaomi fast charge compatability, I never tried em before but they seem to have the extra wire needed for Xiaomi fast charging
Still need to use the original Xiaomi charger brick

Oohs information was wrongs I double check the lenovo is usb 2.0 but a type usb-c connecter port indeed.

Whats a 5v2a charger?

So is there any compatilbe usb c to network port cable for lenovo and the 2 poco?

I have no idea which cable contain that ASIX chipsets its never listed.

For charger cable so I only need 1 type usb -c cable and connect to the original charger for poco but what about lenovo?
