Note that to use it with the Nexus 7 you will need a USB OTG cable - these are available for £2 or £3 on desertcart. Connecting the Nexus 7 using the adapter is very simple - switch on "Airplane Mode" (I don't know if that's necessary, but it's a quick and easy way of switching off the WiFi). Plug the USB OTG cable into the Nexus, plus the adapter into the cable, switch on the Nexus then plug an Ethernet cable into the adapter. The lights come on and after a few seconds of activity (presumably while the DHCP server allocates an IP address) you're up and running. It really couldn't be much simpler and ping times and connection speed are all as expected. Overall I am extremely pleased with both the ease of use of the adapter and also it's apparent durability. It appears to be well made but time will tell on that - I'll update this review should I encounter any problems with the thing Note: My Nexus 7 is an un-rooted "stock" device. Review: A "must-have" for new Tablet users, but beware of your Tablet manufacturers "Settings" - My need for this product was initiated by my wife wanting a "mini computer" to show photos to her retired "Ladies who lunch" pals. So, after 4 weeks of researching which Tablet to buy, I bought a Versus TouchTab Dual Core. VERSUS TOUCHTAB 7" DUAL CORE 16GB TABLET ANDROID 4.1 BLUETOOTH One of my purchase criteria was that when I was at home I wanted to hard-wire the Tablet to my internet router to take advantage of the higher bit-rates offered by RJ45 LAN connection over WiFi. My research soon uncovered that some manufacturers (for example Samsung Galaxy and HP Slate), appear to mask or remove the necessary software switches that "enable ethernet" in the "Settings" menu of their products. In my experience this Plugable USB to Lan Connector works absolutely perfectly. It comes with a mini CD containing drivers (if you need them), and there is further advice on the manufacturers web site, however I didn't need either. I did this: Turn on your Android and open "Settings", turn OFF "WiFi" and "Bluetooth". Open "More... Device" (note this is the s/w switch some manufacturers appear to be masking), press "Ethernet" and then tick "Use Ethernet". Now turn OFF your Android, plug in the USB to Lan adapter and re-start your Android. I agree with one of the earlier reviewers, I now need a second Plugable USB to Lan connector to keep in my away/holiday bag. ## Features - Fast Ethernet - Add a fast wired network interface to your system.

Are you connected to the internet? If so, how, via Wifi or ethernet? If you are only connected via wifi then this will help if you have a usb port available. **Q: Does this allow me to connect and get my android tv box to connect to my wired ethernet?** A: From manufacturerThank you for asking. The compatibility of this adapter and Android device is completely Android device dependent, since Android does not allow users to install any device driver. If the Android TV box manufacture has built in the driver of ASIX AX88772 chip set into it when it was shipped, this adapter can work. Otherwise, there is not any way to make this Ethernet adapter work. Please contact to the Android TV box manufacturer to ask if the TV box supports external Ethernet connection and the driver of AX88772 chip set or not. - SachikoPlugable Technologies **Q: Not a very techie person, but could i use this on a ps4?** A: Manufacturer Answer Hi HmS, thank you for posting the question here. Unfortunately this adapter wouldn't work with PS4. I've just tested with my PS4 at home and tried to make it work by setting different values in the Network Settings, but I couldn't. PS4 always asked me to use the own Ethernet port. My guess is PS4 hasn't built in the necessary driver (for USB to Ethernet AX88772 chip set). Sorry about this bad news, but hope it helps! - SachikoPlugable Technologies **Q: My school has a network where you need a pc with specific software installed for you to connect to the internet. Can I use this on phone and bypass?** A: MANUFACTURER ANSWER:Thanks for posting your question here! No, this will not help in any way with your requirement. Sorry about that!Hope the above information helps! If you need any additional information, please do feel free to shoot us an email at support@plugable.com. We are here to help!Thanks!Regards, Roze Plugable Technologies ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nexus 7 - Working Perfectly *by J***P on 22 April 2013* I bought this adapter because occasionally I need to connect my Nexus 7 using Ethernet rather than WiFI.

First off, I ordered the item quite late in the day and was surprised to see next day delivery was still offered. I paid extra for this and was expecting to seek a refund when the item didn't arrive the next day! It did - very impressive - and I was able to take it on a trip with me. I had bought a separate connector cable to give me a full size USB port for my Motorola Xoom tablet and needed a USB to ethernet adapter. I travel a lot and often end up in hotels with rubbish wifi but fairly stable wired internet. I also wanted something to speed up downloads when I'm at home. I wasn't convinced that any of this was going to work to be honest, but when I plugged it all in and it immediately found the internet without any intervention from me I was very pleased. I double checked it was actually connecting over ethernet by switching off wifi on the Xoom. All good. I still have to work out why WD2go doesn't see my 3TB MyBook over ethernet but is fine over wifi, but I think that's a WD2go issue, not anything to do with this connector. So, long and short, wired is a lot faster than wifi and I'm able to move stuff on and off the Xoom, and browse, get email etc a lot quicker than before. Happy customer. ## Frequently Bought Together - Plugable USB 2.0 to Ethernet Fast 10/100 LAN Wired Network Adapter - Driverless and Compatible with Chromebook, Windows, Linux - Plugable USB to Ethernet Adapter, USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet, Supports Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7, XP, Linux, Chrome OS - Amazon Basics USB 3.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Internet Adapter, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/48594666-usb2-e100](https://www.desertcart.at/products/48594666-usb2-e100) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
