Hi,
I've received a chromecast with "broken" wi-fi. It cannot connect to anything. Just sits on setup page and there is no broadcast wifi. Can I do anything with it? I've read that there is custom rom but I cannot check serial to root it. Any suggestions? Can I make it work with external usb wifi dongle on maybe lan? I have OTG powered cable.
I would get the Chromecast LAN adapter from Google as that will bypass any need for the broken wireless features.

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.
well, I was wondering, if it is possible to turn this phone in a dhcp server for a LAN using an usb to lan adapter.
I have bough a cheap adapter and it comes with a driver for android, so if someone knows how, or can point me to a manual or similar I would be grateful.
also just in case, I tried connect the adapter to the phone but it isn't detected. (expected result).
going to add the files listed in the folder of driver for android of the adapter is a CH9200 USB Ethernet Adapter driver
thanks for reading.
Just curious how it ended up with the usb lan adapter.
Any update on this ?
FYI, if you are using the Chromecast (wired) Ethernet adapter ($15 shipped from Play Store, appears to be a Realtek chip) or another supported wired USB-Ethernet adapter via OTA cable, you do NOT need to give Chromecast with your wireless network information.
You still need to run Chromecast setup, but if it has a wired connection all you set is name, guest access and usage reports. No country or wireless info required.
This is all that gets put into the config files by setup:
Code:
ctrl_interface=/data/wifi
update_config=1
country=US
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.
