Question

DonC · Accepted Answer

No, you cannot as your phone already has data.  Why not use your phones USB-C (for example) to whatever port your laptop has and configure your phone for USB tethering.

WildBill · Answer

If it is a VOIP with an two ethernet port or if its port is designed to forward ethernet traffic yes. However, it the port on the phone is designed as a receive only alternative to the phone's WiFi then no. It would depend on your phone's ports function not this device. If its a cellphone I don't know.

Not designed to tether data use your phone as a hotspot instead and then you can get your internet thru Wi-Fi

I know that my iPhone has Ethernet capability (iOS 10 or newer) but my phone has a lightning port for charging, not the usb-c port this cable needs. However if you could bridge the lightning to usb-c connection with an adaptor I think it would work. I have no knowledge about what the android phones are capable of.

I'm sure that would work. I use adapter to pull hot spot data from my android phone to my network hub and out to a couple wired devices and 4 wireless connected devices.

This adapter works with most computers that have Windows 10 32-bit & 64-bit, macOS 10.2 through 11.4 or Chrome OS 67 through 90.

This approach does not make sense. Turn on your mobile phone Hotspot feature and you can log your laptop onto the Hotspot wireless signal. Not really sure what you are trying to do here. Sorry
