IPad connected to a Ethernet cable
Wednesday 18 January 2022
Good Day Everyone!
My name is David O’Brien. the purpose of this posting is that I have a question about my iPad and it’s capabilities. I have a iPad Pro 12.9” 5th generation device. The model number is the following: MHP13LL/A. The iOS the iPad is currently running on is, 16.2.
Last night I tried attaching my CAT 8e networking cable to the iPad using the Belkin’s USB - C to Ethernet Adaptor. At the time of me doing this I was in the “settings’ of the iPad and saw “Ethernet” appear on the settings sections. I have a few questions about this that I will ask in there own individual paragraphs. My CAT - 8e is plugged into my router.
The first question I have is the following. What are the pro and cons of having a Ethernet cable plugged into an iPad?
Is video playback quality when streaming from the internet better because of the faster download speed when connected by cable?
Finally, what other tasks can be accomplished with having an Ethernet cable attached to an iPad regardless of the Category rating?
Thank you,
David O’Brien
