Getting wifi through Ethernet port on iPad

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.4.8kWp 12x400W Longhi 9.6 kWh battery Giv-hy 5.0 Inverter, WSW facing Essex . Aint no sunshine ☀️ Octopus gas fixed dec 24 @ 5.74 tracker again+ Octopus Intelligent Flux leccy

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.0 -
