How can i connect my iphone to an ethernet port? - 1

If your iPhone has a lightning port, a lightning cable to Ethernet cable is required. If you have an older iPhone, a 30 pin adapter to an Ethernet cable is required.

Why would you want to do this?

The easiest way is to connect a wireless access point to the Ethernet port and connect the iPhone to the WAP by Wi-Fi.

I have a TP-Link TL-WA850RE Wi-Fi Range Extender. I can use this in three different ways:

1) To extend the range of a Wi-Fi network.

2) To act as a Wi-Fi to Ethernet adapter.

3) To act as an Ethernet to Wi-Fi adapter (wireless access point).

It can perform the first two roles at the same time, but the third role disables the first two.

You can't and you do not need.

David E. Told you how. It is called a "thunderbolt to RJ-45 cable". Those are the kind of ports that you want to connect; "thunderbolt" and "RJ-45". Just find out what kind of ports (connections) you need and google it. And that should work for any future connection you want to make in the future as well. Wish you luck mate!

  • Why port forwarding on port 80? I have a foscam home security camera and it needs port forwarding on port 80 if I want to use my iphone to view it from outside. Surely enough, it works as soon as I open that port. But isn't port 80 open by default? Else how could I view http websites in the first place. I don't get it. It's already open so why open it again?

  • Share ethernet connection to iphone with no Wi-Fi? I'm in my dorm room at school and I don't have a Wi-Fi connection to my laptop, I have it plugged in to an ethernet cable and have tried sharing that connection to my iphone but it usually only works if my laptop also has a Wi-Fi signal. I was wondering if there was anyway to get Wi-Fi on my phone when I don't have Wi-Fi on my laptop, either through ethernet or bluetooth or whatever.
  • My ethernet connection is lower than my Wi-Fi? I have a HP pavilion dv6000 and recently i bought a new internet plan of max speed of 120Mbps but when i connect the ethernet cable from my modem the speed is (speedtest.net) around 5 mb also on Wi-Fi i get 20 mbs. I tested the Wi-Fi speed on my iPhone 4 s and i got around 60 mbs. I'm running windows 8 Pro. The modem is Technicolor TC7200
