i have bought a usb to rj45 adapter for my "grace digital internet radio" but is not recognized by the radio. Can it be a compatibility problem? are there any known compatibility problems?
 
Hi

Most usb to rj45 network adapters I have seen require a device driver
What operating system does your radio use?
What device is recommended by grace?


It is not clear what chipset the recommended usb to Ethernet uses
Which does have a driver included

But you have to switch off, connect the usb to Ethernet then power on again

Thanks Mike
Grace recommend their own adapter but I thought they are all the same (it is supposed to be a " Plug and play" device !?). I disconnected the Radio before inserting the adapter but after connecting it goes "loading" forever ! I don't know what is the chipset of the adapter and there is no possibility of installing a driver on the Radio. Maybe i should order the adapter from Grace hoping it will work
