Why does this device include a USB to Ethernet adapter? Is there something wrong with the integrated Ethernet?

It's a mystery to me. I fired it up, connected to my wifi, and haven't looked back.

Unfortunately, the USB is set up to access a Hard drive, not the network. There is an Ethernet port on the back that requires HARD-WIRED to a router or hub.

The ethernet port on this device is for input only. However, if your device has a powered USB port, this ASUS device can be used as a WiFi "dongle" (in addition to its primary use as a router).

This device is extender for the original Router.This is not the router.So you can not connect USB.

Run "ipconfig /all" at a command prompt and you will se only one Ethernet adapter -- its on the tablet. The doc is just a wiring pass through.

@ T. Vanlienden... Yes, this is exactly what I use mine for. One must keep in mind however, that this is a USB 2 and therefor the speeds are not going to be like a pure ethernet connection. As long as you're OK with the slower speed, this should work just fine for you. Hope this helps...

I don't know... word of warning. I have two of these and one stopped working altogether. I got the Edimax USB 2.0 to Fast Ethernet Adapter (EU-4208) and am running win 8.1 and it is plug and play and works great! I have two of the Edimax and it it well worth the extra $7.00 or so for a quality product.

The RJ45 is not an Ethernet Port. It is simply DMX512 pinned out on an RJ45 connector. So the device is not a converter but simply acting as a splitter (i.e. a mechanical adaptor).

Just the opposite - it's for plugging into a "wired network" (where ethernet cables are available) via USB. The newer Macs do not have ethernet ports.

I was able to use the following USB to Ethernet adapter with an MK809:The adapter model is VK-QF9700. The sticker also shows the code 2012-12-168AIt works with linux or android 4.x systems without need to install drivers. It also works with windows systems if you install the right device driver, which is difficult to find.

This is used to establish a Wired Connection to the ethernet via the USB port when wifi is not compatible or present...that's all it does. There's no Ethernet port on the tablet only USB

I'm fairly certain this Should be able to function as a bypass to your built in Ethernet port, you may have to disable the on board port in the bios and/or drive manager. @$13.95 it's certainly worth a try. You could also try a wireless USB adapter also if you have a wireless access point.

I'm not a big fan of ndiswrapper. Hopefully there's a kernel module out there that works. Thanks for the post related to the Ethernet drivers.

I'm sorry, but I dont use the ethernet; I use it wireless. I hope you find the answer your looking for. Regards.

It has a USB port. My brother uses this modem which is attached via ethernet cable to a wireless router and the router has multiple ethernet ports for attaching computers. etc. Works great for him. He doesn't use the USB port.
