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.

Can provide the link to those items please.

First item confirm have and will work on Android 9.

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.

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.

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

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.

You can't. The phone does not have DHCP server. At most it can work as a tether modem.
