### Networking using USB
107

Until the internal BES2600 WIFI has a stable driver, the community suggests that you connect using USB. This section summarizes the more detailed information in [File:PineTab2_USB_Guide.pdf](https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/File:PineTab2_USB_Guide.pdf), which covers connecting via a tethered Android phone, a suitable USB WIFI adapter, a wired USB Ethernet adapter, and a tethered iOS device.

#### Selecting a USB WIFI Adapter
111
-
112
-
Insert a supported WIFI dongle in the upper USB port, using a USB-C to USB-A adapter as necessary. As a general rule, single state adapters are recommended. Even better, select one from this list: https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/The_Short_List.md

If you must use a multi-state adapter and it isn’t recognized by the kernel, you can try ejecting the device. This _should_ force it back into adapter mode. If this does not work, you can try installing [usb_modeswitch](https://man.archlinux.org/man/usb_modeswitch.1.en) to troubleshoot. You will need to temporarily use another method to get internet (such as phone tethering below) or load the package on an SD card to install it.
