How to use Wired Internet ( Ethernet ) on Apple iPhone / iPad

Hi, this video shows you how to use a wired Ethernet Network connection on your Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod.
This might be useful if the Wi-Fi has stopped working on your device or if you want a quicker more stable connection for gaming or downloading.
You will need to buy 2 adapters to make it work.
Many thanks, Vince

Thank you for making this . No other newer versions of this. All old iOS versions. Good to know before I drop $60.

The best thing with this setup is that it lowers the microwave exposure.

[@okayokay3701]

30% of the population has emf sensitivity. There are pubmed articles and journal articles about the physiological damage that is caused by Wi-Fi and emf. The public is naive. Wired is always better. No one thought smoking was bag either or high fructose corn syrup but the scientists all did...there's usually a 10-15year lag to get to the public.

[@csgofordummies1239]

@Mátyás Vitos You dont know what youre talking about if you think RF is not also harmful. WiFi is RF just like a cell phone, the whole "non ionizing" bullshit is literal propganda. Out of indepdentent full studies, around 65% show harm to the body on a cellular level. Not this "heating tissue" bullshit they measure with SAR which is not the ONLY way something can be harmful. Magnetic, Electric AND RF are all harmful

[@AnalSarcophagus]

you create another source of exposure with the usb to lightning adaptor since it needs to be plugged

Thank you! I wanted to do this with my iPad for so long, but it never worked until now! I hadn't realised that I needed a charger with a higher ampere - I'd used the one with the lower output. It's fine for charging, but not for the Ethernet connection. I'm so grateful for this video!

[@judycolson6047]

I almost bought one of those adapters on Amazon. Then I saw your video and never thought about having the adapter with the charging port also. I’ve decided to connect my iPhone and iPad to my router or modem to see if I can get a better connection. I live in a rural area and I’m getting frustrated with my satellite Internet connection. So I’m going to try and use it wired instead of Wi-Fi. If that doesn’t work, I might buy a Wi-Fi booster. But if this works I can use it at home where I need it. Thanks for sharing. Now to find the adapter you have. If not on Amazon, then I guess at Apple.

[@saikiii2516]

USB3 uses more power than USB2, since these adapters don't have their own power supplies.

[@alecjaxon6133]

Aaron Nuguid you can make Ethernet work fine with the usb splitter but you need to charge at the same time so a good Bluetooth headset will work fine but you can’t use wired. My problem with Bluetooth tho is games with guns the gun shots are very painful on the ears but that could be the mid priced headphones.

[@archit28]

The trick is to use the original apple ethernet to usb adapter not the u green or third party adapter. My old iphone’s wifi and 4g antenna stopped working and this totally worked.

[@quiverytoast]

Great video! Do you know if it is possible to connect an Ethernet cable + a usb audio interface at the same time? I currently connect a usb audio interface to my iPhone using the usb camera adapter + a powered usb hub. This works fine. Ideally however, I also want to connect to the router by connecting an Ethernet adapter into the usb hub. This way I can use both the audio interface whilst also having the benefits of a hardwired internet connection. Will all this work? My main concern is whether the iPhone can actually handle more than one usb input? Hope that all makes sense and would really appreciate some advice before I go and invest in an Ethernet adapter and a long Ethernet cable! Thanks!

[@mamalekimsn]

Hi, before order all the accessories I have an different question as the reason you made this video. I understand in the video explanation that the WiFi or data comes from the internet provider where you paid for and gives full internet access. My case is different: the laptop has WiFi from an USB dongle that is placed on the wall outside and connected to the laptop with an 5 meter power USB repeater Cable. The WiFi I get free from the environment and deliver 115 Mbps. Besides the WiFi I receive in house via external usb is it not possible to get WiFi for the 2 iPhones in use. Therefore is paid for 1 phone monthly fees for DATA. The second iPhone get data via TetherMe. Question.... As I have watching with much interest your video explanation, is it also possible that the Ethernet cable added on the laptop will sees the external WiFi and to be understand, not the WiFi from an router as it is in your documentary? Last, why is closed Airplane Mode? The highlights.. The two iPhones can not profit of the WiFi I received on the laptop via the USB dongle. It would be great to find a way on the iPhones and hope that what I saw in your explanation it is the workout I need to go for. Luc

[@boballard6040]

I followed your advice which looks excellent. My setup isn't working! The only obvious difference is that I am using an iPhone 4S with a 30-pin connector and a lightning to 30-pin adapter. I have tested every bit that I can but when I connect the UGreen USB 2.0 network adaptor I am not getting a message about the power requirement. The lights don't come on either. My question is in your case do the network adapter lights come on when you connect it? Mine don't. I'm charging the Camera adapter from my MacBook Pro USB. I shall try this on a later model iPhone if I can borrow one!
