connecting a windows "2 n 1" to ethernet help

I just recently purchased the nextbook flexx 11.6 2n1 from walmart and so far its a great computer just for the record. reviews are mixed for this device but lets not stray from the topic.


I have successfully connected this device to an ethernet device through the two usb ports on the keyboard and then also today through the micro usb port on the tablet itself. The problem I have run into is keeping the connection on the tablet once I disconnect the keyboard. I have tried staying in laptop mode and switching to tablet mode once disconnecting the keyboard but have had no luck. Has any one else tried this and have a success story? Please share.


Let me clarify that I am using an ethernet to usb cable connected to a powerline adapter for internet. I am not a fan of using wifi when I don't have too. I am unsure if this is hardware or software problem. Or if there is something in setting I simply need to check.

Do you have a specific task that doesn't work or performs poorly over WiFi? If not, I'd just simplify and make sure your WiFi network is secured, then use that instead.
