With RainMachine version new .920 using USB to ethernet adapters on HD12/16 family works but it's *officially unsupported*.

Most of the USB 2.0 adapters should work, especially those who market compatibility with Windows XP without installing any drivers. For a short list see the end of this post.

To use ethernet just plug the usb to ethernet adapter in the spare USB port *without* physically removing the WIFI adapter.  You can use the Settings >System > WIFI to disable the WIFI from the software. After reboot the ethernet should be working with DHCP.

Known issues:

1. The ethernet only works with DHCP there is no easy way to configure static IP.

2. WIFI stick needs to be left inserted in the USB port.

3. On device Network Tools output doesn't work for ethernet

4. Can't start updates from device. Updates can be started from mobile/web applications

5. On certain cases the device might not appear on local discovery from mobile apps. To workaround, you can use Direct Access from Network Settings (from mobile apps Devices screen) to specify <device IP:8080>.
