You can plug an Ethernet cable into an Android phone with a USB-C Ethernet adapter, and then click "Ethernet tether" in your phone. Then connect the phone to the server rack to keep the servers online during an outage.

I'll answer for you. Yes. you can 100% disable mobile & WiFi and then use a wired Ethernet connection to connect an Android device to the internet.

Also, it's amazing that "Ethernet tether" is a built-in option in Android. It shows that people still care.

💯🤙 I'm glad I purchased a little usbc 3 in 1 hub for my phone. Full size usb, hdmi & Ethernet all come in handy quite often.

I setup my router so that when i plugin my phone though usb and setup usb tethering in it the router automatically uses the phone's internet.

Never needed it so far though.
