Hi AL; I finally got a BLU smartphone and by wifi I receive internet from my neighbour. The problem is that I have to move my desktop , monitor,.... to the balcony, which is really a deposit. So I bought a USB 5 meter extension but it doesnt work; found out afterwards that USB2.0 comm has 5m limit. Googled and found that with ethernet cable some people have solved this problem. I tried but the only device that works is my mouse. If I plug my USB to UART converter " device not recognized" When I connect my phone I dont get any error message but its not listed in devices and printers. Some say that I should use aself powered USB hub. If its due to the USB 5v power, can I disconnect it and try with an external 5v supply?
Thanks, Alberto.
