Getting wifi through Ethernet port on iPad

aj9648

Hi

Going away in a few weeks and know that the hotel only has wifi in lobby area and not in the room. But it does have Ethernet port in the room

Is there anyway of using the Ethernet port and cable to get a wifi signal so I can use my iPad in the room ?

Thanks

A cheap/spare router? But you will need to know the ip of the ethernet port in the room.

Either of these would work and give you local Wi-Fi and you don't need to know the IP address of the Ethernet port:

Shop around the first can be found cheaper elsewhere, the second is about the normal price.

Just carry a mini router around with you.

Are these just plug and go? Ie do I need to configure anything before I get to the hotel?
