Android, XAir Question

[stewblack]

I want to be able to hardwire an android tablet to my X18 desk via the ethernet port.

This works fine with a laptop.

I did some research and purchased this

which I assumed would do the trick.

It didn't. In fact it appeared to do nothing at all. Does anyone have any advice?

Do any of the lights on the ethernet socket come on when when everything is plugged in?

 

Can you make this adaptor work with your laptop?

 

What make and model number is your Android Tablet? It simply might not be able to make a network connection via the USB port.

Yes it all works with the laptop. 

I'll investigate whether the tablets, and  phone I tried are suitable.

Thanks for the reply.
