Hi Robert,

I am not sure the pluggable usb-to-ethernet converter works for BBBw micro USB port. Have you ever tried one?

Plugable Network Adapter - USB 2.0 to 10/100 Ethernet

It works for Android Phone, through.

It seems the usb converter doesn’t have power when it connected.

Thank you,
David

Hi @dzhou,

The micro USB port on the BBBw is only wired for “peripheral” mode. Switching it to OTG or Host most requires a hardware modification.
