Internet over Ethernet for FP via adapter

Hello, I see during the past 8 years several people have said in this forum that they want to get the internet to their FairPhone via an ethernet / LAN / RJ45 cable. However I do not see any confirmation that this feature has been implemented by FairPhone.

I currently get the internet to my iphone via ethernet / LAN / RJ45 cable with a 3rd party adaptor that plugs into the USB socket on the phone. If FairPhone can provide confirmation that they have added this feature, then I would buy a FairPhone.

I think empowering people to not completely rely on wifi or mobile data (and potential health risks) fits well with the FairPhone ethos.

Murena aren’t Fairphone, though. Resources …

oh sorry is this forum not for the fairphone operating system?

Well … it is for the /e/OS operating system.

In principle this seems possible.
There have been threads in the fairphone forum.

Though my quick search didn’t show up anything for the recent FP5.
So, as @AnotherElk has suggested - better to put the question there.
It is a friendly & helpful folks there :slight_smile:

2nd hit of the search I linked to :wink: .

Right :wink:
Have been too eager to look for myself :innocent:

I’ve got an unbranded ethernet adapter, bought years ago on ebay, which I use with my laptop occasionally. I’d never tried it with my phone before but seeing your question I thought I’d give it a go. Plugged it into my FP5 and it works like a charm.
