Hello, if i enable usb reverse tethering on the M7 and connect it to the usb port of an active router, will an internet connection be established to the phone? Will the access speeds be similar to an ethernet/LAN connection?

Afaik the USB port on your router will give Internet access to the device connected to it (like a printer) but not the opposite. It might be possible if you flash a custom firmware on your rooter. The speed of a LAN isn't determined by the Internet connection speed. All the machines connected to the rooter will communicate between them at normal speed. Internet speed will be limited to your phone mobile data speed (if its possible to make this work)

That is very helpful. Basically by reverse tethering to a compatible router's usb port I will be able to have internet connection without the use of an ethernet cable, as very few phones have usb otg ethernet drivers installed.

Sorry if this has been brought up many times before but could find anything in the search.
Is it possible to use the wireless connection on the xda lli to connect a laptop to the internet.
basically i have a laptop that doesnt have a wireless card in it so wondering if its possible to plug the xda into the laptop via the cradle and use the phones wireless adapter to run internet through the laptop.

That should be possible, but it will raise your handy costs, in case you use radio/gprs!
There might be a way to connect to a hot spot and use the device to akt as modem.
wireless modem is what i was thinking not using gprs just running through my home wireless internet connection i have in the house rather than having to plug the laptop into the router via a cable if any of that make any sense.
In some places i do not want to use 3g or wifi but have a wired ethernet port free on the router. Some apps only work via wifi or 3g. I use the media importer app with USB OTG cable and a USB/LAN converter for email browsing. Is there a way I can trick apps such as (BBC iPlayer, sky go) to work via the wired LAN port? I would rather not root.
Απ: Using wired ethernet - not 3g or wifi
Why don't you use something like this, (I can't post URLs, just search eBay for "EDUP 150Mbps Portable Mini Wireless Wifi AP Client") and connect via WiFi to the wired lan?
It acts as a mini access point, a repeater or a WiFi client, and it is powered via any USB port, or a provided 5V power supply.

i thought he don't want to use wifi ?
one thing that can be tried is to use iptables. Basically the same tricks that is used by ProxyDroid. Just re-route everything that goes to the wifi interface to the wired interface. Though that means the wifi interface may still needs to be up, but not actually connected to the router.
Hi,
I know chromecast supports some ethernet to usb devices, meaning you can connect your cc via Ethernet instead of wifi.
I was wondering if anyone has achieved turning a chromecast (rooted probably required) into a wifi receiver and sending wifi data via Ethernet to another device (eg. Tv with an eth port but no wifi).
Hello guys,
Is it possible to get Internet via USB-ethernet adapter?
I have tried to connect LAN adapter - the phone somehow can see the network, but there is no internet connection.
On the router also it looks that the phone is connected to the LAN port.
Do I have to change some settings on the phone?
I tried airplane mod, but still no joy.
Please, support.
If this phone has only USB C 2.0 that will it use the whole speed of my cellular data connection over usb hotspot to my pc?
No idea, depends if you have the fastest 5G around, what cable you use, what ports you have in your laptop etc.
In my example I have only 4g which for my area is maximum around 100Mb/s so definitely USB 2.0 (480Mb/s) is enough here.
I get however 620Mb/s through WiFi (the maximum I have) so creating a WiFi hotspot on 5G might be faster than cable connection.
