Connect iPhone and Ethernet - is that possible?
Actually, it is not a problem to connect an iPhone to the Ethernet. However, some technology is required, which beginners can also put together. The following things are needed:
- To convert the signal from the LAN cable to the USB standard, you need a USB LAN adapter. You can get this for around 5 euros on Amazon.
- You must now connect this adapter to a hub. It must be a hub with a power connection so that the Ethernet signal is amplified sufficiently. Price about 10 euros.
- To connect the hub to the iPhone, you need a Lightning USB adapter. Here's how to connect the hub and iPhone with a USB cable.
- If all connections are established, the iPhone shows that the devices are not supported. However, you can ignore this message. The connection still works.
