![TP-Link USB C To Ethernet Adapter(UE300C), RJ45 To USB C [Thunderbolt 3/4 Compatible] Type-C Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Ada](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/418xZkoG-RL._AC_UL165_SR165,165_.jpg)
Bought one of these long ago for testing with multiple Android phones but never got it to work.
Just happened to plug it into ASUS Zenphone Max (M1) this week and all of a sudden message popped up indicating *Ethernet Port Detected* and offering settings for static IP address.
Works perfect. Plug and play. But CRITICAL your phone must have Ethernet drivers.
Called ASUS tech support and asked HOW to identify phones that have Ethernet drivers vs. those that do not. The answer was that ANY ASUS PHONE WITH OTG is good for Ethernet.
THIS WAS AN EDUCATION IN OTG - USB On The Go. It allows phone to act as USB hub and you can connect mouse, keyboard, storage, and other USB devices.
This dongle allows you to connect Ethernet cable to one end and other end to phone connector and get a DHCP wired connection with NO setup. There is a third connector for a PC, but not using it currently.
Previously, we bought more expensive rugged Android devices that have Ethernet cradle option.

Everything but OTG (resolved for now)
I really hoped this would work with my Galaxy S8+, which is why I purchased the OTG version of this device. I got it to work once with my phone (using OTG connector) immediately after disconnecting the device from a Windows laptop. It takes time (i.e. not immediate but less than a minute) for the lights on the device to come on and only when both the network cable and connected device (laptop) are both connected together. Perhaps the phone isn't sending out enough power through to the device but I am not an engineer and one success is NOT a good sampling to establish a solid theory. After multiple attempts at installing for use on an OSX device (took me more than an hour) I did finally get this to work on my 13" MacBook Air (Mid 2012) running 10.13.6 and it appears to still be working. The trick for me was to remove the network device type from Network settings (see picture) and allow it to reinstall when seen again (only did the removal once). Windows devices were plug and play. The reason I am giving this 3 rating is because it didn't meet the expectations for which it was purchased (OTG). Had I known it would not work with my Samsung Galaxy S8+, I would have purchased a USB 3.0 device for my laptops instead of the USB 2.0 to work with OTG. I am happy with UGREEN and will purchase some of their other accessories (including a USB 3.0 version of this device w/o OTG). As it's not worth going through the effort to return this item (which was under $15) I’ll just keep it as a spare. **** Update 8/11/18 - (Changing review from a 3 to 4 star) I ordered a UGREEN USB OTC Cable which arrived today and the device appears to be working (will check a few more times and update this review if my experience changes). While I interpret the devices description as expecting it to work WITHOUT the need of an OTG adapter (and perhaps it would with a direct micro USB connection instead of a phone with USB-C utilizing an adapter) I was happy to learn that I will be able to use this device after all. The extra expense will be usefull since my other OTG adapters are too big to be used in conjunction with my existing phone case anyway.
