Purchase a travel router, or look through this thread and purchase from jolouis the adapters you to do USB-to-Ethernet.

You'd just have gotten nowhere with a search for RJ45, I suppose...

give the guy a break.... obviously he is a newbie and if you don't know that a LAN cable is a RJ45 then you probably wont find what you are looking for.

Add the travel router to the faq pages we're always referring newbies to...

Yes, obviously he is a newbie. So?

If you don't know that a LAN cable is an RJ45, then you probably wouldn't post this:

It's not an issue of ignorance, it's an issue of failure to help one's self, and warrants a mild reminder of the sensible approach to problem solving.

Jeez Benson, did you wake up on the wrong side of your NIT this morning? Lighten up!

Hi Docii;

I too have been wondering about wired ethernet with my n810, but have been busy with other problems, and had not searched yet. Your post, which I happened to see, and the responses, were enough to provide the "aha! it is possible" - very valuable.

That said, it is always advisable to do some searching for best-guess keywords before posting a question. It's also nice form to try to answer at least one question for every question one poses - I know that's tough when one is getting started, but please still try.

Finally, regarding other forums - internettablettalk seems to be the best one out there... don't give up on us yet.

Steve

Buy an Apple Airport Express, great little gizmo with a range of uses. I was in the US for a week recently, plugged my AXP into the hotel's cable modem & enjoyed secured 801.11g wifi on my N800 & work laptop.
