Q: Wired broadband for iPad
This is a followup to my earlier posting. I have now established that it is perfectly possible to use the iPad wihout wifi but wired to a router. First turn off wifi on the iPad, turn on Airplane mode, then starting at the router what is required is: an ethernet cable plugged into a high speed ethernet to USB2 adapter. The output of this is plugged into a powered USB 2 hub. The output from the latter goes into an Apple Lightning to USB camera adapter, and the lightning output plugged into the iPad. Then just OK any message that appears. The broadband will then operate as usual and at the expected speed (in my case ca. 12 Mbps.) This contribution is being written in this non-wifi mode. This now enables me to turn off wifi completely at the router. I am trying to establish whether exposure to wifi em radiation contributes to the neurological condition from which I suffer. I have already shown that the pulsed microwave radiation from cordless phones causes me major cardiac and cerebral disturbances and I have had to return to a traditional corded phone.
