Micro USB OTG hub ethernet Adapter for Raspberry Pi Zero, Android Tablet, Google Chromecast Stick - Powered USB OTG hub

just what i needed for my Raspberry Pi Zero board & project. This port expander is just hte item that is required for a decetn Pi build and input/output connectivity.

Works with ROKU 4k! It sees the network connection so you can hardwire your ROKU to your router! Very cool device. :)

Bought this because of two issues - RPi0 only has 1 micro USB connector other than power and no ethernet port. This item was plug and play and resolves both issues allowing me to plug in a USB keyboard, USB wired mouse and ethernet with 1 USB port on the hub to spare. The device itself seems solid enough but I didn't test in an adverse environment nor do I intend toKnocking 1 star off because the item is advertised "a 5V DC-in power cable included, it only powers the added USB device and not the tablet computer" This is not true! if you power the hub the 5v line to the micro USB becomes live and powered the Zero too, this may cause issues if you also power the Zero via it's micro USB power port.Furthermore the '5V DC power cable' is only a USB to round pin power cable adapter , the 5V 2A power adapter is not included! You will need to supply a 5V 2A adapter with a female USB port to plug the power cable into, yourself.I have not yet tried running it 'un-powered' but imagine it will work depending on the current draw from the devices you connect.All in all, I am happy with my purchase, although it did cost 1.5 time the price of the pi zero W I have it connected to. 3 times the price of the original $5 pi zero.

Powers from mini USB onthe pi zero 2 w USB and ethernet connection work together without extra power. Plug and play.

What an excellent addition to our new computer. We have just a few ports and with this adapter we can have all kinds of different devices with different plugs hooked up. Well done

I purchased this device to provide wired Ethernet to my Amazon Echo Show 2nd generation unit. Several people said they had the sister adapter -- "Micro USB Ethernet Adapter with USB OTG Hub Compatible TV Stick, Chromecast Ultra/2/1/Audio, Google Home Mini (RJ45 LAN Wired Internet)" -- working with the Echo Shows 2nd gen. I decided to "upgrade" to this model.The Amazon Echo Show 2nd gen recognized the adapter, but when I plugged in the RJ45 plug all wired Ethernet devices on the network stopped working. I verified the adapter was causing the issue by performing the following steps:1) I had several other devices (2 Windows system, 1 tablet, and 1 phone) all ping the gateway (10.0.0.1) and they all got the error message "Request timed out" until2) I unplugged the RJ45 and the devices all started pinging again.3) I plugged in the RJ45 and the devices again get the above error message.4) I tried a different Ethernet / RJ45 cable.5) I tried a different port on my 16 port NetGear Hub.Amazon accepted the adapter back and I ordered the sister adapter -- "Micro USB Ethernet Adapter with USB OTG Hub Compatible TV Stick, Chromecast Ultra/2/1/Audio, Google Home Mini (RJ45 LAN Wired Internet)."NOTE (added on 6/24/2019): The replacement (sister adapter) works like a charm!!For those wondering why I want my Amazon Echo Show 2nd gen wired: Home automation, especially the router.Because of several disabilities, it is difficult for me to reach various places in my home. One of these areas is behind the furniture, where my ISP installed the router. Many times a year my router will need a power cycling to correct one error or another, but I can't reach it. Typically, I ask my caretaker or a neighbor to power cycle the router. I would like to be able to do this instead of asking someone to do it for me. After all don't we all want to be as independent as possible? Home automation is a great solution for the router, modem, and many other electrical devices (e.g. lights in other rooms, hallway lights, etc).Turn the router off is possible using the wireless network, but turning the router back on using the wireless network is not possible (as it is powered off). I found a wired (Ethernet) power plug, but want to do the Show before buying the wired plug ($100 or so).I'm giving this device 3 stars because it failed to work for me and using it (actively) took down my entire wired network. I don't know if it's the fault of this device, the Amazon Echo Show 2nd gen, or something else. I can't give something 5 stars I can't use nor keep. I also can't give it just 1 star, so 3 stars.

Plugged in my ethernet cable to internet, Clicked the defaults in my Raspberry Pi Virtual Desktop. Connects right away. Clicked to share the Raspberry Pi wifi, Hotspot came active. Plugged Adafruit weather prototype to USB, display is nice and bright. Value for money. Reconfigured ethernet to connect cable directly to MacBook, almost as simple to bridge to Raspberry Pi wifi internet.

GREAT Product. This added ethernet and USB-As to my Pi. The best part is, IT POWER MY Pi Zero 2 W!!!!! I don't need another power cable to the Pi, just power this USB/Ethernet hub, tugged it away and have a neat Pi zero with ONLY ONE CABLE connected!!!!
