[ETHERNET ADAPTER FOR CHROMEBOOK?

[ETHERNET ADAPTER FOR CHROMEBOOK?] Really excited to join this group! I've begun "pitching" Hangout-based coverage of live events in the water "space" and will certainly have questions. I just bought a Samsung Chromebook 2 last night, which should, I hope, resolve some of the issues I've had with my old computer (blurry hands, delayed response) with the processor dedicated to G+ and not Windows. One drawback: no ethernet. I'm told the internet is so good I won't need a hardwired connection, but I'd rather not take that risk. I see Amazon sells Ethernet adapters of various sorts (USB 2.0 or 3.0 and 10/100/1000 of RJ45 huh????) - some providing additional USB outlets as well. Any idea which I would need? Has anyone used an Ethernet adapter for hangouts with a computer than has not Ethernet port (e.g. Chromebook, Macbook) - does it make a difference? I didn't think this was the sort of question that warranted a live chat (although I can do that also) - hope it's an appropriate first post to the group?

  1. WaterCitizen Remember- the model you bought wasn't even on the market when I did my test so I'm sure improvements have been made. When you get it set up we can do a HOA and help you test it. :)

  2. YAY! Thanks Andrew Hatchett ! I'm finishing the presentation, hopefully today, and then we can test it out & I can practice at the same time.

  3. This will also be my first time using Google Slides instead of PowerPoint - not sure whether that will improve transition with Screenshare Andrew Hatchett
