So, I got this Ethernet to USB network card adapter. I'm dealing with the S17 Pro, a laptop, and a USB hub. Can I connect the miners to power and run an Ethernet cable from the miners to the adapter that goes into the USB hub? Then that plugs into my laptop. If anyone has insights, I’d really appreciate it. I want to avoid buying all this gear if it's not going to work. It should theoretically work, right? Just need to make sure I'm using Cat 8 Ethernet and that the laptop can output the right frequency for the miners to operate.

No, you must plug the miners into the network directly. Also, USB -> network adapters are designed to be used on machines that have USB to give them network, not to convert network to USB. What are you attempting to do / why do you want to do it this way? -Dave

I use a Vonets Wifi Bridge on my S9 Space heater. It connects to the ethernet port on the miner and runs from the standalone psu (via a custom cable).
