**English translation:**

A Mastodon post by user @[limping@mastodon.ml](mailto:limping@mastodon.ml) (ID 115753503351287236) discusses a technical idea of using an Android smartphone as a mobile router with multiple internet connections: one via Wi-Fi, another via USB, and a third via Ethernet OTG. The author mentions two main problems — providing power to the adapter and ensuring compatibility with Android.

They test a VCOM CU4591 adapter (link to dns-shop.ru/product/au3cd61b3f…), a USB-C to Ethernet adapter with external power support, on several devices:

1. **Realme GT Neo 3T running stock Android 14** — works; an Ethernet option becomes active in the Tethering menu.
2. **Poco X6 Pro running stock Android 14** — when connected, it reports “Internet connected,” but only offers MTU host mode; Ethernet is not active.
3. **Redmi Note 9T running LineageOS** — only supplies power; nothing else works (modem mode only).

All tests were performed with external power supplied to the adapter. The post ends with the phrase: “which is what it’s actually meant for — to work.”

On the left side, part of a reply or related post by @pureacetone is visible, mentioning “Why not VCOM CU4591” and other details, but the main focus remains on testing the adapter for multi-connection use.

There is also a seemingly random or unrelated fragment containing a link to a news article about a Ukrainian communications satellite ([https://militaryi.com/uk/news/pershuj-ukrayinskyj-suputnyk-zv-yazku-zapustyat-u-zhovtni-2026-roku-misce-v-raketi-vzhe-zarezervovano](https://militaryi.com/uk/news/pershuj-ukrayinskyj-suputnyk-zv-yazku-zapustyat-u-zhovtni-2026-roku-misce-v-raketi-vzhe-zarezervovano)), which may be a quote or a screenshot artifact.
