    have my Android tv box (4.2) working on wifi, but cannot get it to work on ethernet. The reason is, i can add my home network security password to the wifi settings, but it doesn't give me the option to enter my security password when i want to use the ethernet on the box.

    Can someone point me in the right direction please. Thanks.

    Try pinging the gateway, use a net ping app

    the gateway that's displaying is the routers ip. 192.168.2.1

    That pings grand.

    Ping Google's Dns server, 8.8.8.8

    Done that. Sometimes it's perfect, sometimes it loses 2 packets out of 3. Sometimes it won't connect at all and other times the latency is garbage. Way stronger on wifi in terms of ping and speeds
