Adapters for wired ethernet to iOS devices... New Apple adapter: ![]() Apple MK0W2AM/A Lightning To USB Camera Adapter Link: http://a.co/aBa0jo5 You will also need this Apple Ethernet-to-USB adaptor: ![]() Apple USB Ethernet Adapter (MC704LL/A) Link: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00W7W9FK0 Alternative: Rebotnix. Nice concept. More money. Longer wait... https://rebotnix.com/product/rb-connect/ |

I have now tested the new adapters on my iPad mini and it works very nice. Using a charger into the adapter's lightning port allows you to have wired Ethernet while at the same time keeping your iOS device charged. |

With that new adapter you can charge your iPad / iPhone while the ethernet is connected. Just throw it into a corner in Aircraft mode and wait for emails to come in without worrying about the battery, or about radiation ![]() Assuming you have a decent VOIP phone app like Google Voice or Hangouts, your phone calls and SMS can also come in the same way... without any radiation... Here is a video explaining how to connect the adapters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBKs2tPggVI |

That white-colored RB-Connect adapter comes very close to the ideal connection. A Power-over-Ethernet feature to charge the iPad would be great. Great developments. ![]() |

No PoE. ![]() They provide two models of the adapter. The most expensive one has a power lightning connector so you can connect it to the "standard lightning power adapter". That is how it charges the iDevice while it is connected. |

The new Apple adapter works with this inexpensive Cable Matters adapter!![]() $9.99 US Cable Matters 202023 USB 2.0 to 10/100 Fast Ethernet Network Adapter (Black) Link: http://a.co/bGWgBPr ![]() $38.00 US Apple MK0W2AM/A Lightning To USB Camera Adapter Link: http://a.co/dpUBPeM The important point is that you DON'T have to have a lightning power adapter plugged in for the Ethernet to work. This means you can use a light weight 20' Ethernet cable and have a lot of freedom of movement with this setup. ![]() $10.47 US Monoprice SlimRun Cat6 UTP Ethernet Patch Cable, 20ft Link: http://a.co/7A0PW3f I think this is better than using the Apple USB-to-Ethernet you WILL have to keep a lightning charging cable plugged in. And the Cable Matters adapter is $19 lower in price. |

Just to clarify--does this mean that I still need the lightning to USB plug in addition to the ethernet to USB adaptor? So it goes like this: 1. I plug the ethernet cable into a router/modem/internet source either at home or in a hotel. 2. Then, plug the ethernet cable into the ethernet-to-USB adaptor shown in your previous post. 3. Then, plug the lightning-to-USB camera adaptor in with the lightning end into my iPad. Thanks, Marysue |
