1. Connect an Ethernet cable to your router.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable from your router into a Micro USB Ethernet adapter. Connect the Micro USB end into the
Micro USB port on the back of your SHIELD.
A Micro USB Ethernet adapter like the one above can be used, but the SHIELD portable cannot be charged with this type
of adapter. To charge the SHIELD portable while using Ethernet, a Micro USB Y-Cable with input for Micro USB power
and full-size USB Ethernet will need to be used. Of course, a full-size USB2 to Ethernet adapter will be needed in
conjunction with the Y-Cable.
