sunshot Lightning to Ethernet Adapter, 2-in-1 Power Adapter + Ethernet with Lightning Connector Compatible with iPhone/iPad, Supports 1000/100/10 Mbps High-Speed ​​Ethernet Networks.(Purple)

Most similar devices have short pigtails, some lack a pass-thru power connection (forcing one to run off battery when using ethernet), and perhaps most importantly, many only have 100-Mbps EtherNet ports. While a lightning port max's out at 480-Mbps, at least this device's 1-Gbps EtherNet port isn't the bottleneck. That makes this almost 5x faster than a 100-Mbps port device. The female lightning socket on the side allows you to plug in your normal lightning charging cable into this device, which the provides pass-thru power to your iPad/iPhone. (It doesn't provide power out of this port; one-way only.) Unfortunately this power pass-thru only; no data. So if that lightning cable is connected to your Mac, you won't see your iPad/iPhone on the desktop (but power from the computer is passed on through to the device). It seems that none of these devices with a pass-thru port offer data pass-thru. I'm not sure whether this is a technical limitation, or a cost issue. I've been using this device for over a month now and it has been working reliably; only gets warm, doesn't get hot with my rather moderate network usage for it. Mostly video streaming, Podcasts, and iPadOS updates. I would buy again. Note: Due to limitations in iOS and iPadOS, AirDrop and AirPlay won't work over EtherNet. It appears that FaceTime and FaceTime audio also won't use EtherNet. All of them should; there's no technical reason they can't. It's Apple's fault that they don't. Nonetheless most of the device's other network traffic will go over EtherNet (e.g. eMail, Podcasts, web browsing, software updates, App Store downloads, Messages, etc.) I'm not sure whether WiFi Calling will work over EtherNet. There's no reason it couldn't, but that's also true of AirDrop, AirPlay, and FaceTime. Pro's: • Fast 1-Gbps EtherNet port • Long, approximately 18-inch cable • Lightning power pass-thru port keeps battery charged • Doesn't seem to get hot Con's: • Cable isn't braided • Pass-thru port doesn't support data; power-only

This think is fast but a hot man

Tried multiple connections with Cat6 and Cat5E cables and it will not download more than 140 Mbps, used with iphone 14 and 6th gen ipad (lightning connector), both had download speeds of over 450 Mbps from the same router I connected to with network cables, simply does not provide1000 mbps download bandwidth. To give it credit, it downloaded twice as fast as another similar device I bought recently that was only listed as 100/10 Mbps, that piece of crap will only download around 70 Mbps max. But no reason to use this when wifi on a 5 Ghz router is three times faster regularly.

works great

Works for me. Trying to stay off the wifi. Plugs right into the iPhone or iPad.

just what needed to connect my iPhone to my sound system

bought three for broadcasting a robotics competition using Google Meet (enterprise) on three iPhones: iPhone 11, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone Xr. I bought these because WiFi and Cellular data were hugely congested due to hundreds of people attending and many of them using their phones, causing WiFi and Cellular data to not work well. All three worked flawlessly! The remote viewers of the broadcast were happy with the quality of the broadcast. All three phones were fully charged after the broadcast. I have no complaints. I did have one technical glitch that was my fault. One of the iPhones had a VPN app installed, and the VPN was enabled. The network firewall blocked the outbound traffic. Once I turned the VPN off on that phone, it worked fine. This technical glitch was not the fault of this Ethernet adapter, but I mention this in the hope that others can learn and benefit from this.

I have an ipad 9th gen which has a lightning port. I bought this adapter hoping that connecting ethernet to my iPad would give high internet speed. My network speed is 1 gig up and down and this adapter claims to go up to speeds of 1 gig. After connecting the adapter, I tested my internet speed and this adapter will not go above 325 Mbps download and 253 Mbps upload speeds. My home network has Cat6 cable running to every room so I don't use wifi and I get speeds on my other devices of well over 900 Mbps up and down. This device does not work as described unless I have a bad device or I'm missing something. I work in IT by the way.
