Hello, fellow forum members!
I have a question regarding the USB port on the Omni A1 device and its compatibility with an Ethernet adapter. I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on this matter and provide valuable insights.
Question: Can the USB port on the Omni A1 be utilized to connect an Ethernet adapter [https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/c/servers-storage/networking/ethernet-adapters/] for a wired internet connection?
Explanation: I recently acquired an Omni A1 and I'm exploring different connectivity options. While the device provides Wi-Fi connectivity, I prefer a stable wired connection for certain tasks. Since the Omni A1 features a USB port, I am wondering if it can be used to connect an Ethernet adapter, allowing me to establish a wired connection to my network.
Additional Information:
Purpose: I intend to use the Ethernet adapter to connect the Omni A1 directly to my router or modem using an Ethernet cable. This will ensure a reliable and high-speed internet connection, which can be beneficial for certain activities such as online gaming or streaming.
USB Port Functionality: The USB port on the Omni A1 serves multiple purposes, including charging external devices or connecting peripherals like keyboards and mice. However, I'm unsure if it supports Ethernet adapters as well.
Compatibility: I have checked the specifications of the Omni A1, but it doesn't explicitly mention support for Ethernet adapters. Hence, I would appreciate any insights from the community regarding the compatibility of the USB port with Ethernet adapters.
Alternative Solutions: If the USB port does not support Ethernet adapters, I'm open to alternative suggestions or workarounds that would allow me to establish a wired connection with the Omni A1. Perhaps there are other ports or configurations that can be used for this purpose.
I'm turning to this forum to seek guidance and experiences from those who have used the Omni A1 device and have knowledge about its USB port capabilities. Your input will be invaluable in helping me understand whether I can utilize an Ethernet adapter with the USB port to establish a wired connection.
If any of you have successfully connected an Ethernet adapter to the USB port on the Omni A1 or have information regarding its compatibility, I would greatly appreciate your insights. Additionally, if you have alternative suggestions for establishing a wired connection with the Omni A1, please feel free to share your thoughts.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. I'm eager to learn from your experiences and expertise.

Im not an expert nor an owner- but for wired network to work over USB it needs a Computer to host the USB or at least firmware. I doubt this has that capability. Possibly a Blue tooth would work- but I get your issue re (reliable) for some locations. Someone may make a device to relay blue-tooth onto wired (Access Point), but not sure if any have bluetooth as well as normal Domestic Wireless. hope that helps.

What "certain tasks" aren't working properly over WiFi?
