Too Long; Didn't Read

The locking tab of RJ45 plugs breaks easily and this is one of the most common issues faced by the users of Ethernet cables. An RJ45 plug without a locking tab does not lock properly. This means you can lose your Ethernet connection just when you least need it. There are many situations when a hardwired connection to Ethernet from your iPhone or iPad can be extremely useful. The solution is pretty simple to make this work: Your iOS device; the Ethernet cable; the iPad or iPhone A/C adapter; Apple USB-to-Ethernet adapter;Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter or a powered USB hub.
