Fail to connect ethernet

[Terence Pang]

Hello. I have a Samsung S10+. I bought a USB-C to RJ45 adapter. I plug it in and it works. But when I try to connect it the next time, it just fails on me. The phone, or Android, recognise the usb c input as charging. (but obviously the battery is not showing charging)

May I know how to solve this? Thanks.

Plug it in...to what? Modem? Router?

and it works

It connects your device to the Internet?

But when I try to connect it the next time, it just fails on me.

So you're not connecting to the Internet at that point?

What does happen? Anything?

The phone, or Android, recognise the usb c input as charging. (but obviously the battery is not showing charging)

Okay, that's good to know.

What Android version are you using?

May I know how to solve this?

Hopefully, we'll help get it figured out!

Hello. I plug the other end of my ethernet cable to my mesh router (the main unit). It is a TP-Link deco M5. The first time it just went as expected but the second time even though I do the same thing. Android 9 recognised the usb input as charging.
This is what I see from the notification panel if I have my adapter and ethernet plugged in.
The bottom item in the list means
Android System
Charging your device via USB currently.

Thanks.

Yes I know. That's why I wrote this:

Make sure your wire supports both chargingand data. If it does then on the phone go to Settings->Storage->->3 Dots-> USB Computer Connection-> Change the mode from Charging Only to MTP or USB Mass Storage. If neither of these work then make sure you have drivers installed for your device on your computer

Sorry I couldn't quite get what you mean. Why do I need ensure my LAN ethernet cable can do charging and data transfer? I mean why would a LAN cable to be used as charging cable? Thanks.
