iOS 10.1 brings full Ethernet support


With the next major update of the operating system, iPhone and iPad users can configure Ethernet connections for the first time, as the iOS 10.1 beta shows.

IOS 10.1 finally completes the only rudimentary Ethernet support of the operating system: Users can first configure a wired network connection with the beta of the upcoming update. Just as in the WLAN settings can be set about IP address and DNS servers manually, as the developer Oliver Hartwich in a blog post demonstrates.


Apple seems to finally complete the Ethernet support introduced with the first pre-versions of iOS 10. An Ethernet menu appears as a separate entry in the settings as soon as such a connection exists. Whether the function in the final version of iOS 10.1 remains unchanged, remains for now however still open. IOS 10.1 is expected to appear later in the month, so far Apple has released three beta versions of the test.


IOS 9 already supported Ethernet connections, but a configuration was not possible - an automatic connection of the IP address was a prerequisite. To connect an ethernet cable to an iPad or iPhone, you need at least two adapters: First Apples still quite young, 45 euro expensive Lightning to USB 3 adapter as well as a USB to Ethernet cable, the third manufacturer - or Apple itself in an older version.
