I selected the Huawei Mediapad M3 for an enterprise deployment at a retail location. I chose the M3 after researching numerous android tablets with affordable price and good performance. There would need to be about 50 of the tablets in a networked environment. For reliability and stability reasons I believe that a networked ethernet connection to each tablet would be best rather than using wifi. I've had other experience with tablets running wi-fi and they tend to occasionally drop connections to the wifi which would be a problem for this deployment. Maybe this assumption is wrong, but this is what i'm currently thinking.
In any event, i just opened the mediapad and tried to get it working over ethernet and it appears as if ethernet is not enabled on this tablet. The current configuration is a mini USB to a powered USB hub, then i have an ethernet to USB adapter plugged into the hub. Is there any way to enable ethernet? It's currently running Marshmallow out of the box, what about upgrading to Nougat? Does anyone know if that has support for ethernet for this tablet?
Any help is much appreciated!
