I purchased a Belkin USB-C to Ethernet + Charge Adapter for my iPad Pro 12.9 5th gen and ethernet doesn't automatically appear when I try to use the Belkin device. Wi-Fi is turned off. The Belkin device does provide power to the iPad so I'm not sure what's going on. Running iPad OS 16.6. Anyone have any ideas?
Greetings bsurbeck,
Start by ensuring that you've allowed access to the USB device:
"You can allow your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to always access accessories. For example, if you use a USB assistive device to enter your passcode on your locked iPhone, many assistive devices automatically turn on the setting to allow USB devices the first time they're connected.
If you don't connect to accessories regularly, you might need to turn on this setting manually.
In Settings, go to Face ID & Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode, and turn on Accessories under Allow Access When Locked." Allow USB and other accessories to connect to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue continues, reach out to Belkin for support with their accessory: Contact Us - Belkin
We hope this helps!
Sincerely.

Thanks for this. I did change this setting based on your recommendation but it didn't fix the problem. I'll reach out to Belkin to see if they have any other ideas.
Did you figure it out? I think I have the same adapter and my ethernet option does appear, but I’m only getting power, no internet.
