I tried with a Dell Ethernet to Type-C adapter (ok, using custom ROM) and it didn't worked.

For what purpose you are trying to use it?
connecting to internet ?
Sharing files with other devices in the network?
Why you dont just go ahead and connect to your router wifi connection?
If you are trying to get an connection to the world wide web, There is WiFi and 3G + 4G
so my question is :
For what purpose you are trying to use it?

Just for fun.
Experiment.
Xda is a developer site/forum so expect more thread like this.

It's actually a cool idea and I remember once trying to have it configured (USB_RTL8152) for an adapter I have (and for another phone).
By that time I could not get an eth interface to appear. I will ask if it can be configured in Moun_Kernel (which I use but do not build myself).
About why: I rsync entire device content (internal and external SD, including TWRP and Titanium backups) to a local server as incremental backup and sure a gigeth would be much faster than a shared wifi access point.

It's USB 2.0 so you won't get gigabit speeds from it.
If it works, expect to see 20-30 MB/s

One practical use of this would be replacement of router, as without power the router is useless, while with mobile, wifi can be available for a couple of hours as hotspot. For rural places like mine.

and the speeds would be better too compared to wifi hotspot. im going to try this out actually i mean, if connection could be shared trough that adapter to another device

I would like to confirm that I actually plug TP-Link USB to Ethernet UE200 to my Xiaomi Mi A1 and it work straight away, note that you need a good USB Type C to USB Type A OTG module to use it

Not very helpful at all.

Alright so as far as computer setup goes, we will need to bridge the connection somehow. Somehow, we need the computer to output a wireless signal whether that be Wi-Fi or bluetooth for the phone to use, all we would need to do is setup a network bridge for that. However, the means of broadcasting the signal is one that I am not sure about. I don't think the G1 supports bluetooth internet. I am not much of a network savvy person, but here is a possibility, though I wouldn't be sure exactly how to do this. Using the wired connection, bridge it through your computer to a wireless router to broadcast the signal. Once a signal is being sent out, your G1 should be able to connect to it. However, I don't really know if it that setup is possible or not, someone with more knowledge would have to answer that.

thanks. Imma try this at work.
I am confused. Did you not know the stock froyo did wifi tethering? Am I not understanding completely?

You're not understanding completely. My desktop computer does not have a built in wi-fi adapter, so I would have to use a wireless USB network adapter to get internet on this machine. Using this method, I was able to use the internet from my ISP (Cox Communications) rather than resort to using T-mobile's 3G network.
Let me do a flowchart for you:

Yeah, okay I did understand.
The phone can tether the cellular signal or the wifi signal.
It was implemented in froyo.
What is really cool is how fast it is. My computer is hard wired into my home network and when I activate tethering and disable the wired connection, the difference in speed tests and pings is imperceptible. They are both the same. Very impressive.
I like what you've done. You are tethering your computer to your phone via USB and then using your phone's WiFi connection to connect to your home's WiFi router, then on to Cox and the Internet.
In your diagram, the Internet doesn't lie between your phone and the computer. The Internet lies beyond your ISP. Otherwise nice.
Lastly, the tethering features were added by 2.2 as pointed out already.
Edit: added a diagram

Tips: Speeds are best when screen is left on (for some reason speed is bogged down dramatically when the screen is off - might be a power saving feature).

By default wifi is set to sleep when the screen is off. Have you disabled this in wifi advanced settings?
Took me a few minutes to understand...
The point to note is: "tethering shares whatever internet connection is available"
1) Connect to the wifi network using your nexus one.
2) Share the internet via USB tethering.

Is this possible?

I have no Wireless networks around me, so I was wondering if it was possible to share my PC's internet with my phone.
I have this cable internet so no wireless :/.
No, just get a wireless cable router and connect the back of your modem to your router. Routers are quite cheap now starting at about £30. Now just use your wifi to connect to internet on phone without using your precious data.
You can also use your phone as a modem to connect your computer to the internet using your phones internet.
if you use xp see here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/adhoc.mspx
and windows 7 here
http://lifehacker.com/5369381/turn-your-windows-7-pc-into-a-wireless-hotspot
or you could get a wifi router
and some wifi routers will let you use a Ethernet cable as input - just plug the cable into one of the ports on the back (at least my netgear dg834g will let me)
Holy crap!
I never knew anything about this!
Thanks so much man!
I tried it, and it first says ''Connecting'' and then just disconnects.
Can Fix that

That one.
If you are on Windows 7, just use Connectify It's cheaper (free^^) than buying a router.

I used the AD-HOC thing, and it worked with CM.
it looks like cable modem only, no router.

Networking problem, need help please

Help,please.
Meet the problem. Transformer connected to my home wifi network. All devices in network connected to the internet, except Transformer. Manually configured network. I tried different wifi networks. All wifi networks successfully connected, but without internet. It looks like transformer could not route. i could not ping machines in the same network. Is there anybody who has same problem??
Thanks in advance
P.S. Who knows how to make routing table? Transformer connects to wifi, can ping himself but could not ping gateway in the same network.
It happend when i started playing with ROMs. Installed different ROMs with super wipe (Revolver, Revolution HD, Megatron, ICS WW_epaduser9_2_1_24, same problem.
have you tried switching the router off for a few minutes and rebooting it?

O yess, many times. If it is router problem, then all other machines could not connect to internet over wifi. Only Transformer could not, and tested on 3 different wifi networks (with and without DHCP)
probably wont help, but what about Kernel - have you tried different Kernels?

I tried different kernels, (Kernel-ICS-V22.6-OC1700-fb-AOKP_646, kernel_asus_rev01) but what kernel would you suggest?
if those have not worked then i doubt any others will. Rev3 Harmony (asus or universal) depending on which base your going to try - or the latest Guevor, version depending on base again.
Wifi is not my thing but thought id ask the obvious just incase. sorry i cant help more but im sure someone will be along soon :good:
WTF.
Installed Kernel Guevor N22.6 and Revolver 4.0.3 ROM. Same problem. Connected to wifi but no internet.
Even I disassemble Transformer and reconnected batteries. Does not help
Is it possible that hardware problem in wifi? Why in that case wifi connected? Magic.
First try turning air plane mode on then off to see if that works also your network may not like androids long default host name so consider changing that if you have root
What router are you using? make sure your using channels 1-11 (not 12 or 13) and check your on 2.4 GHz not 5 GHz
For the present test im using connectify soft and share my internet over my laptop. And it worked before. I installed busybox and did some commands. It looks like oruting table is correct, def gateway is pinging, interface is up. But could not connect to any site over integrated brower, could not connect to youtube or playmarket or gmail. Attached is screenshot. Maybe i lost something.

:crying:
No one, who can give me any advice??
I reflashed Transformer up to latest ICS WW 9.2.1.27. Did not help. Still connected to wifi, but could not access to internet.
giving your router configuration and brands, could help I think...
in my period of owning a transformer, there are one place at where I live where it can't connect to.. a free wifi at a restaurant.. it just cant't, it detects but it can't connect.. the channel was within 1-11, but still not connectable.. I've tried different roms and kernel, still to no avail.. while my other device can connect to it just fine... maybe there are some router that transformer not compatible with..
Problem is that transformer could connect to wifi network without any problem. It shows that connected to internet, but could not open any site or youtube or gmail.

Android Bluetooth tethering, speed capped to 700 kbps?

Hi folks,
I'm trying to use my HTC one for Bluetooth tethering (via Bluetooth PAN), so I can access internet on my Windows tablets.
It works but I can't get any speed higher than 0.7 Mbit/s
Yeah, Wi-fi/USB tether works fine and I get way better speed, but I want to use Bluetooth over Wifi due to it's consuming less power and can be initiated from outside of the phone. Plugging USB cables also can be a hassle.
My setups are as follows:
Internet <--3G/Wifi--> Android (HTC One) <--BT Tether--> Windows 8.1 PC (Dell Venue 8 Pro)
Both HTC One and Dell Venue Pro 8 have Bluetooth v4.0, so I don't think the hardware being limiting factor here, under Windows network status I can see 3 Mbit/s link
When tested with Speedtest.net APP on my HTC One I can get a full speed as usual
But when my DVP8 is tethtered to my HTC one via BT this is what I'm getting:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The 0.7mbps speed is consistent, I repeated the speed test several times. Which leads me to believe the BT throughput is capped for some reason.
I also have tested this on my Win8 Desktop PC and I'm getting exactly the same result.
According to Wikipedia the theoretical limits for Bluetooth 4.0 is indeed 3Mbit/s, So I'm expecting 1-1.5mbit/s speed here. (It's the typical 3G bandwidth I can get on my area anyway).
Any thoughts? Any experience or possible fix are welcome.
Thanks!
Found the culprit, the 700kbps cap actually only happens when wi-fi is active. When I use 3G I'm getting 1.5mbps as I expected. Thanks case closed.
Hello WizzWr.
As you mentioned above, when Wi-Fi is deactivated, we can get upto 1.5 ~1.6 mbps. right?
I wonder why the speeds can't go over 700kbps when Wi-Fi is on. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
me too, Moto C 4G, bluetooth PAN tether some times 1.5mbps , some other time 500kbps
same here. bt tethering LG G2 (bt 4.0, LOS17) to Huawei P2 Pro (bt 4.2, Android 9). 0.45Mbps when Huawei share wifi internet via bt, and 1.55Mbps when sharing mobile internet via bt.
Maybe your wifi and bluetooth are using the same 2.4GHz band that's why they're interfering with each other. If your wifi router supports it, try switching to a 5GHz channel.
