Hi Carlos,

Thanks for your post! Unfortunately, we have not tested this device in our labs so we are unable to give you a guaranteed answer of compatibility. The closest report we have from a customer is the adapter worked with a Galaxy Tab E 8 running Android 5.1.1.

Android device manufacturers are the ones that decide whether to include OTG support with their device and the specific drivers required for OTG devices. So, we typically recommend reaching out to their support team to see if a specific device is compatible with OTG devices and, specifically our adapter.

Our USB2-OTGE100 Ethernet adapter is using the AX88772 chip set which is one of the most popular and widely adopted USB to Ethernet chip sets. A significant portion (but not all) of the Android devices available have the driver built in. This is why this adapter works with some of the Android devices. Unfortunately, there isn’t a good way to figure it out if the drive built-in or not, except via reports from customers, the device manufacturer, or testing it with a specific device yourself.

I hope this information helps. If you have any further questions, please send a message to support@plugable.com with “Ticket #214788” in the subject line and we would be happy to help!

Thanks!
