I see that someone called Redpark makes a hardware device that plugs into your lightning port and gives you either 100Mb or 1Gb ethernet interfaces, two models. Does anyone know anything about it?

The website says it is good for 220Mbps max, which is not very impressive. It is roughly about like the USB-to-ethernet chipset used with the Raspberry Pi plus a gig ethernet i/f, perhaps. It would be actually faster then to just use a wireless to wired ethernet converter device called a wireless access point, one that is faster than 300Mbps.

PS, there may be a later version, that addresses comments in last post...

I will give it more thought, but I remain somewhat suspicious.

Not so sure; check the second link I posted, that one does sound to be properly intrgrated with iOS.

And this is the gigabit one (limited to 225Mbps), also apparently properly integrated.

I remain surprised that Apple allow such a device to work.
