Hi, you need a USB to Ethernet adapter, one which has a NIC circuit inside rather than purely a socket adapter. Can be had for under a couple of quid on auction site. You will probably need a USB adapter as well to step down the full size USB plug on the adapter to fit the smaller USB socket on the tablet.
 
I have one of these for my Yoga - which does not have a network socket. I did need to load software on the ultrabook. This was also true when I used a Wii RJ45 to USB adapter on a netbook - I needed to load a specific chip driver for Windows. So you will need to have Android software to make it work? I don't think you can just plug it it and it will work straight away. Perhaps use a wifi extender in the room?
