tizi USB 3 ethernet adapter using a tizi Tankstation 5x MEGA for power supply
Internal corporate and networks in educational institutions are often restricted to devices with ethernet access and in many hotels you can often get much faster internet speeds over a wired network connection. But what if you've got an iPad or iPad Pro – how can you get on a wired network with that?
Luckily, we've been working on a solution to make that possible, here's how it works: There's a new Apple USB adapter that supports USB accessories as well as an additional power source. Combine that with our upcoming tizi ethernet adapter, and you're all set:
- Connect the USB adapter to the Lightning port on your iPad or iPhone
- Plug a Lightning cable into the adapter and connect it to a charger
- Connect a tizi USB ethernet adapter to Apple adapter
That's it. Now you just plug in a network cable and you're ready to go.
Details for the technically inclined :
- The USB adapter plus ethernet adapter need 1.5A of power – so you'll need a decent, reliable power source
- The iPad doesn't give you any sign or icon to let you know that you're connected over ethernet – it just magically starts working
- The tizi USB 3 ethernet adapter supports USB 3 and Gigabit Ethernet speeds – and so does the big iPad Pro
- This setup works with all iPhones and iPads that have a lightning port – the big 12.9" iPad Pro will support Gigabit ethernet speeds, all others will support up to 100 mbit
Travel tips: For a more mobile setup, you can also use a tizi Flachmann powerbank as your power source.
The tizi USB 3 ethernet adapter is coming soon and will be available in two versions:
tizi USB 3 ethernet adapter: Suitable for iPad, iPhone and all Macs with a regular USB port
tizi USB C ethernet hub: Designed for the new 12" MacBook and all devices with a USB-C port.
Sign up and we'll let you know when it's available.
