Do not expect a wired connection to help you gain faster transfer speeds. In testing, it has been found that the CPU on the tablet maxes out at approximate 5-7Mbps, well beneath the threshold of wired networks or USB connectivity. | Do not expect a wired connection to help you gain faster transfer speeds.

- | There is also an important consideration regarding the type of network adapter you select to use. The Linksys USB100M for example is only listed as USB 1.1, not USB 2.0, but still functions above the maximum sustainable speed of the tablet. Conversely, while the USB 2.0 version of the same device should work, it required additional drivers and actually requests more power than the USB OTG bus on the tablet is willing to provide, so you'd end up needing an externally powered USB hub to use it. Thus while the USB 2.0 adapter might seem better, in actually for the tablets it's actually a worse choice. | + | There is also an important consideration regarding the type of network adapter you select to use.
