Is there a benefit to connecting a computer using the micro usb connector versus an ethernet cable using this LAN adapter?

I purchased this device for my tablet. This would give you a wired connection into a network, I have found only the latest tablets have the driver support for this device. If you are trying to sync your phone up to a single computer - I would stick with the cable that came in the box - micro-USB to USB-A on your desktop or laptop. Hope that helps!

The micro usb is for android type devices . It frees up the full size usb port for a thumb drive etc

i bought this to connect to an android device that only has a micro USB OTG port on it to ethernet.

Not positive, but if you have your desktop connected directly to the adapter and not the wifi then NO!

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.

Gigabit ethernet is backwards compatible and should work just fine with any flavor of ethernet. A USB to ethernet adapter, may or may not function at the gigabit speed, but should support other flavors of ethernet just fine. If you want up-to-date technology and maximum speed over ethernet, I would suggest the T'bolt to e'net adapter....my 2

I have no idea if that would work but I have to ask why would you want to do that? Its a very expensive solution to use the multiport adapter ($77 from amazon) to replace a $20.00 Ethernet switch

If you buy the adapter, it will use your Ethernet connection. This is the adapter I use: Tronsmart USB 2.0 to RJ45 LAN Ethernet Network Adapter for MINI PC Mac Tablet

This has only USB 3.0 and esata. I would recommend this as I have 2 NAS box from IOMEGA, and transfer rate is very low, I have cisco EA6500 with Gig port. I am getting speed not more than 10 mbps. Instead if I connect this device to the router, It does the same, with USB 2.0 and gives 15-20 mbps. I am not sure for what purpose you need ethernet.

It has both the USB and Ethernet that you can connect to the router. I have never used the USB, but have it connected to my Gigabit Ethernet router and it works great.

Designed for ASUS Zenbook, which is too thin to accommodate an Ethernet port. Plug it into a USB port and you've got your LAN connection.

I think the ethernet cuts out when you plug in the usb, so don't think they both work together.

You CAN purchase (Radio Shack, etc...) an adapter that plugs into a Ethernet outlet on Router and plug USB into it.

An adapter is included for an Ethernet cable since the port on the laptop is a mini port.

I really don't know.I bought one to be capable of using 2 computers at the same time when it was necessary. Once both ethernet cables were connected to this thing-I could not even access the internet with one computer. I had to unplug the ethernet cable from the second computer to get online. I had hoped this unit would work-but it didn't. I did get a full refund from the seller,and Amazon refunded the $6.00 it cost me to return it-so I would say you can take a gamble on it-if it doesn't work for you at least you won't be out of any money.

yes. you just plug into an available USB port and now you have an ethernet port ! my ethernet ports were damaged by lightening so I use this adapter now and it works fine on both iMac and MacBook Pro.

you would more then likely need a adapter it would plug into the usb port and the ethernet cord woild plug into the adapter.

The best performance is over Ethernet. The USB port allows you to plugin the manufacturers wireless adapter so that the Transporter can operate over a wireless network. I believe the USB port is not supported for any other use. but you can use the Transporter wirelsslt by installing a
