I am having diffculty connecting my ethernet connection to my iPad and iPhone, it's not detecting a signal only that I have it plugged in under settings.
I'm guessing they're using the Lighting USB Camera kit. I've used that to connect my iPad to an ethernet connection. Not sure if that works with an iPhone.
Probably much easier for you to get a small WiFi module that will let you plug in the Ethernet. I use those when I travel and hotels provide only Ethernet and make you pay for WiFi
I just tried with my USB 3.0 Apple camera kit + Apple USB to ethernet.
I wanted me to updated the Camera kit, after updating it still worked for me.
I see a ethernet just under Wi-Fi in settings.
If I had to guess, I would say the updated didn't work for you, so you have a dead Apple camera kit adaptor 🙁
