Ohh thank you man,been using eithernet for a year Samsung s5e,i never had to swich that on.i guess it would just swich on automatically when you pluged in eithernet cable.untill new update.then wouldn't recognize eithernet cable.and many searches never explained how to find this simple setting. Lol
Hello Harry, after seeing your video (congrats by the way) I decided to purchase a connector and follow your instructions. Because it didn't work I contacted Samsung and this is what they told me: "You cannot connect a Samsung tablet to ethernet as It is not designed for this feature'. Now that blows my mind as I see you doing it! What am I doing wrong? Unlike in your vid I cannot select the ethernet option! Regards
Great informative video and I tried all the steps but still no highlighted ethernet on my galaxy s8 phone. Is there another solution you can help me with this? I have even purchased a new adapter, ethernet cable etc incase the other ones weren't working. Cheers
Thank you for this video, David. I'm allergic to EM radiation and looking for a tablet that can be connected to ethernet. Do you know other models and/or brands that support ethernet connection? Prefferably budget friendly tablets and older models.
You do not have an EM radiation allergy, no studies have ever verified it's existence. You have a psychological condition that can be treated with psychotherapy, please see someone.
I also have an allergy to EM radiation. *cough* read the book invisible rainbow *cough* Only problem is im still having trouble getting my ethernet option to not be greyed out. Wondering if its cause my device cannot support it or if a cable is wrong.
@@nickxelyt5660 I am having the same problem. I have tested the adapter with a laptop and it works. But nothing happens when I put it into the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9. Have you figured out how to ungrey it?
can you confirm does it work with gigabit to tyoe c adapter? ive tried mine with 100mbps fast eth to type c it work flawlessly. btw in the video you're using 100mbps to type c right?
@@DavidHarry It is greyed out because you first need to down the interface, i.e. touch the little green button to turn it OFF while the adapter (with the ethernet cable plugged in) is connected of course. Then you set you static IP, DNS etc and touch "Save" and then touch on that OFF button to make it green "ON" again.
Alright Andre. Depending on your WiFi signal and speeds, the direct wired connection to the router can be a massive increase. It also helps with latency, which can make IP calling, FaceTime, gaming etc. all more responsive. Even if your device has 100 percent signal and is sitting right next to the router, a wired connection will still always have its benefits. Do you use an iPad, tablet or any portable devices? Cheers, Dave.
David Harry : Exactly, I have fiber here with 1,000 Mbps up and down when hardwired and the WiFi speeds are in the 490 Mbps up/down. Fiber was a God send as before I was 30 Mbps down and 12 Mbps up.
Yes, you would definitely see a difference with something like this adaptor. Plus it is Gigabit, so you’d hit the max speed of your router/fibre. Do you use iPads or similar?
Cool. Keep an eye on the stuff I’m doing with the iPad and the S7. I’m using some bits that allow the Pad and Tablet to be connected to monitors and TVs in 4K 60FPS, with all kinds of USB stuff, external SSDs, card readers, all kinds of stuff. Cheers, Dave.
Im using the Anker ethernet Adaptor and doing exactly what you do but it doesn't work for me. I have Galaxy Tab A (8.4", 2020) SM-T307U. The brand of adaptor doesn't matter does it? Is there any help you can provide? Is yours the same model? I contacted Samsung and they said that the model I have doesn't have ethernet capabilities but my menu looks exactly like yours and I even see the "ethernet" option but its just greyed out so I can't click it. Please help :(
Thank you, I assume that S7/S7+ and S4 have almost the same firmware, so I bought this ethernet/usb adapter in hope that it will also work with my Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 tablet.
@@DavidHarry I have tested the Cable Matters USB 3.0 Gigabit ethernet adapter with Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 tablets (two identical ones, with the same level of firmware -- the very latest Android 10) and confirm that it DOES NOT work. Namely, the eth0 interface is initialised correctly and works for about 30-40 seconds (getting transfer speeds of 105MB/s -- five times more than I get with TeckNet and Smays adapters) and then it gets disconnected. My guess is that the driver has been tested only with very fast local storage (presumably on S7+ local storage is faster than on S4) and in situations where you can't copy data as fast as it arrives on the network the driver fails to work, i.e. instead of being throttled and sleeping, it just downs the interface. Anyway, I have returned it to Amazon for a refund and ordered a Tecknet one which is known to work (I have one of these already).
Will that adapter work with a Samsung Galaxy S7 Phone? I only found one ethernet to micro-usb adapter, and it is not compatible with the S7 phone. The common adapters available being Type C, will I be wasting my money plugging a type c to micro usb adapter for my phone? Will it be compatible with the ethernet adapter in your video?
Hi Dan. Not sure of its global availability but here it is on Amazon UK amzn.to/2Zzksxm You may be able to find it by name elsewhere. BTW, it’s brilliant for going lightweight. Cheers, Dave.
Could you guide us to config the static IP with proxy. Because tablet forced me to input the proxy but I don't know. And can it use to remoted via 4G to control PC or another network devices by this ethernet? Thank you.
According to this video it seems it should. My option is still grayed out though despite continued attempts. I suppose its not meant to work, but I would like to maybe find some kind of work around.
Hello...I connect it to my phone ( Samsung a 20) but the Ethernet feature on my phone still un selectible....the Ethernet device was blinking while connecting it....can that problem solved?
Hello, there is a ugreen brand hub ethernet converter. However, when you plug it into the android device, the ethernet text is blurred and it is not activated. Please help.
What kind of adaptor do I need for my samsung A10.1 tablet and my Samsung Galaxy j6? I troed diferente ethernet adaptors but they didnt work. Thank you
David, Play a pubg game and show us the ping difference and if it makes any difference to the rendering the graphics any quicker on the S7 tablet.... Great tip by the way... Regards Geoff
Hi Geoff. I’ll try it out but unfortunately for me it may not make that much difference. All my internet is through a 4G LTE router, basically I have a box that looks like a normal router but it uses a phone SIM card and uses mobile data to connect to the internet , not a land line or cable, basically just like data tethering on a mobile phone. The problem with this is that the latency varies wildly anyway due to it being mobile date. If I can get access to a land line or fibre connection I’ll give it go. Latency/ping won’t affect graphics or rendering speeds, they’re local to the S7. BTW, just ordered the Flydigi Apex controller, should have it Monday/Tuesday. If it works in DEX mode I’ll be doing a bunch of videos. Keep an eye on my videos, I’m gonna do a few shortish ones like this one where I show one specific thing. Next one will be a HDMI output, then one about USB and one about an audio interface. These will end up all together in one video “The ultimate Tab S7 gaming setup”, which will basically be the S7 as an Android gaming console. I’ve also just subscribed to Xbox, I think the xCloud Android service goes live this Tuesday or Wednesday, I’ll do a bunch of stuff about the S7 for cloud gaming. Cheers, Dave.
@@DavidHarry You are lucky you are receiving the Apex controller before me, I ordered mine from overseas over 2 weeks from now, and its still on its way... As none are in stock in Australia and even if they are at times, the price on them are doubled. I'll be waiting to see your videos first.... Congrats
@@DavidHarry It will be great to watch, yes hopefully it works with DEX mode and if it doesn't just play with the DEX mode and the experience will be great. But lets keep are fingers crossed. Cheers
Hi Geoff. Just testing it now and got a notification of your comment :) Doesn’t work in DEX mode :( Although the sticks do, which is something I’ve never seen before in DEX mode. But it works great in normal Android mode :) It’s actually quite a nice controller with a good few buttons. Will have something up soon. Cheers, Dave.
I have REALLY bad internet, so playing games with it is not an option on my pc. Not sure if this works backwards, service to ethernet, is this possible?
Bro why my Samsung tab s7plus is not working ethernet ....when I connect to my phone or laptop all work but only in Samsung tab ...why any suggestions please
Good Evening, my Galaxy S10 "Ethernet" option is still grey even with the adapter plugged in... The Galaxy A5 shows immediately that its connected and you can select it. Is there any other option i have to enable?
Legend!! Straight to the point and no messing about. Fixed my issue within 3 minutes.
Awesome 👍
I am doing this very thing watching this awesome video using the ethernet connection! It's my birthday
Awesome and HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Cheers, Dave.
