Connecting Samsung Galaxy Note 8 to a hardwired Ethernet Has anyone been able to connect the Galaxy Note 8 to a hardwired Ethernet network?  If so, what adapter was used?  

There are times that I cannot use the Wi-Fi and need to connect using a wired network.
The short answer is no, there are no USB-to-ethernet dongles that the Galaxy Note 8 recognizes. The long answer is Galaxy Note 8 only supports wireless network connections unfortunately; however that could change if Samsung decides to include support for wired ethernet dongles in updates to the Note 8.
