I didn't know that about the dock. We'll see if I can get wifi repeat to work tomorrow...will have halved rate as stated, but it would be better than frequent dropped signal. In addition I'll still be able to charge. If I can't get it to work, then you can lay some sympathy on me.  Will update tomorrow, Thanks!

Just want to know if this is feasible. I'm in hospital with open WiFi. My room has horrible signal. I have a wifi router with high gain antenna. I was wondering if I could access the WiFi if I connected my tablet to my router via the ethernet adapter(albeit with a better signal) Any advice is appreciated.

Also, is it possible to simultaneously charge nexus in this type of situation?
