Hi Liconln27,

 

By default the ethernet port is disabled to preserve battery life.  Depending on your firmware it should be enabled on boot up for about 2mins and if nothing is detected as being plugged in then the ethernet port will switch off.  A tap of the power button, waiting 20 - 30 seconds will wake up the ethernet port again.  If ethernet is working and you unplug the ethernet cable then it will switch off by default.  Plugging the cable in and tapping the power button will wake it up again.  I will send you a PM to discuss further.

 

Regards,

 

ArodiD.
