Yeah, I have gigabit CAT6 also, though 100Mb/s would have
been more than enough for traffic to the Internet.

I wonder if it would support a USB Ethernet dongle with an OTG cable?
I know Android supports keyboards, mice, headsets, etc. but I wonder
if they've compiled in support for Ethernet?  That would be interesting
to try.

Ahaha, nice.

I use a 32-character long randomly-generated password as my WPA2 shared
secret, so I'm not worried about someone getting onto the network, but
I suppose flooding/DoSing the AP is always possible.
