Hi,

Anyone know how to hardwire my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 to my network using an ethernet adapter or something else that will allow me to plug this phone directly into my network and not use WiFi?

I want my phone's WiFi turned off and yet still have it able to access the internet via a hardwired, ethernet, connection.

I tried using plugable's MN: USB2-OTGE100 "USB 2.0 OTG Micro-B Ethernet Adapter 10/100Mbps"
but it did not work (see attached).

I've read about others rooting/jail-breaking their phones but not only do I not know how to do this,
I really don't want to.

Thanks.
