Lightning to Ethernet Adapter for iPhone, iPad and Other Lightning Devices
This adapter lets you use the internet on any device with a Lightning port, such as an iPhone or iPad, over a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi. You plug it into the Lightning port, plug an ethernet cable from your router into the adapter, and you are online over a wired connection, which is typically faster and more stable than a wireless one. With airplane mode switched on, the phone is not transmitting over Wi-Fi or cellular, so a wired connection means no wireless transmission from the phone. Browse our full range of EMF phone protection.
How to Use It
- Plug the adapter into the Lightning port on your device.
- Run an ethernet cable from your router or network socket into the adapter's RJ45 port. The adapter does not come with an ethernet cable, so you will need your own.
- Switch on airplane mode. You stay online through the wired connection.
Charge While You Are Connected
The adapter has a built-in charging port, so you can charge your device while the wired connection is in use. That helps on long calls, streaming sessions and work days at a desk.
Compatibility
The adapter works with any phone or tablet that has a Lightning port. It will not work with devices that do not have a Lightning port. If your device uses USB-C, you need our USB-C ethernet adapter instead.
It Replaces Wi-Fi, Not Cellular
The adapter is a replacement for Wi-Fi. It does not replace your cellular connection. With airplane mode on, your device cannot make or receive traditional phone calls or text messages, because those use the cellular network. Internet-based apps, such as browsing, email, streaming, video calls and messaging apps, work over the wired connection. If you need traditional calls and texts, switch airplane mode off for those times.
Part of a Low-Wireless Setup
A wired connection covers your desk time. For time away from the desk, the BlocSock anti-radiation case reduces the radiation reaching your body when you carry the phone.
