You will either require a Lightning to Ethernet Adapter - or for your iPad, you will need to daisy-chain adapters.


Apple doesn’t offer an Apple-branded Lightning to Ethernet Adapter - however, these are available from third-party manufacturers such as Belkin:


  • Belkin Ethernet + Power Adapter with Lightning Connector

A perhaps less-than-ideal alternative for your iPad Air would be to daisy-chain an Apple Lightning to USB Adapter or Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter - the latter includes a Lightning pass-through power connection:


  • Lightning to USB Camera Adapter

  • Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter

https://store.apple.com/uk/xc/product/MK0W2ZM/A


Either of these can be combined with a standard third-part USB Ethernet Adapter.



When using a wired-ethernet connection with iPad, disable WiFi from iPad settings or the Control Centre.
