In our first article on Air Gap Defences,  we explained the importance of providing a physical barrier against network intrusion attempts into our home network and the added health benefits of reduced microwave radiation exposure. In this, our second article on cybersecurity and hardwiring your home to eliminate wireless networks, we seek to answer an important question:

Can I use an Ethernet connection for my iPhone or iPad?

As part of our research we found a number of ‘Lightning to Ethernet’ adaptors on the market. These adaptors allow an iPhone or iPad to be connected directly

to a network via an Ethernet RJ45 LAN cable – or hardwired as it is commonly known. This means that you can access the Internet without using Wi-Fi or your cellular data. For this, we purchased and assessed the Foinnex Lightning port to RJ45 Ethernet network adaptor.

    

Hardwiring allows the usage of a normally wireless iPad or iPhone through a secure network Ethernet cable connection with the device in Flight/Airplane mode and all antennas switched off. Our testing showed that it was a faster connection than Wi-Fi or cellular data, averaging 200 percent of the speed of a wireless connection, with almost no interruptions in connection service. When plugged into the lightning port on the Apple device, in the Settings menu a new connection will appear labelled ‘Ethernet’ (as below) which will automatically assign an IP address to the device and start communicating. Even when using Apps when hardwiring your device, you will sometimes see a message saying that the device is in Flight/Airplane mode (see screenshot below). Simply OK this message and ignore it, because the App will run seamlessly over the Ethernet link. The Apple operating system(iOS) will take care of it.

                                                 

For those who are ‘in the know’ with regard to microwave radiation exposure levels from wireless devices, it enables hardwiring of iPhones and iPads without exposing the user to any significant level of microwave radiation.

This hardwiring solution works for accessing the Internet and texting with other Apple users. To make a phone call without radiation exposure, we recommend using an App such as Skype or WhatsApp whilst on the Ethernet link.

The cable adaptor does not need external power, running directly off the Ethernet link created between the iPhone or iPad and the local network cable. To purchase these adaptors search on Amazon for: ‘Lightning port to RJ45 network adaptor’.

A number of recent research studies indicate that long-term microwave radiation exposure from wireless devices could affect your health. For detailed information on how and why this occurs, take our Schools and Families Course. This e-learning course covers medically recommended best practice guidance for reducing risks and using safer technology solutions. It costs less than the price of a movie ticket, and should take approximately 40 minutes to complete.

Disclaimer: Always check the manufacturer’s website to ensure that the adaptor will work with your device, that the port is compatible (correct) and that the  operating system version is compatible.
Wireless Education does not endorse or recommend products, however we seek to understand and explain in simple language all technology innovations which will reduce microwave radiation exposure levels.

Wireless technology in focus

Wireless Education explores our wireless technology in a series of Air Gap Technology articles. In our first article on Air Gap Defences, we explained the importance of providing a physical barrier against network intrusion attempts into our home network, plus the added health benefits of reduced microwave radiation exposure. In our second article, we evaluated Lightning to Ethernet adaptors to allow iPhones and iPads to connect to hardwired networks. This allows you to hardwire your iPhone and iPad so that you can access the Internet and your apps without having to have the Wi-Fi router on.

In this, our third article of the series, we evaluate an adaptor that is new to market and allows Windows and Android devices (with compatible chipsets) to connect directly to an Ethernet cable, via the existing USB-B port. In a nutshell, this allows you to hardwire your Windows and Android phone or tablet.

Hardwiring your Android or Windows devices to bypass wireless technology

After much research, we discovered the Plugable Micro USB B RJ45 ethernet adaptor. This adaptor allows the connection of a normally wireless Windows tablet (version 8.1 and 10 supported) plus many Android tablets and smartphones, to a secure network Ethernet cable.

                                

In order to have the full security and health benefits, set the device to Flight/Airplane mode, and check that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is switched off. A major advantage is that it will provide a significantly faster and more stable connection than a normal Wi-Fi or Cellular link.

Many technical specialists are aware of the biological concerns around microwave radiation exposure levels from wireless devices. This adaptor allows the usage of phones and tablets without experiencing significant levels of microwave radiation from long-term exposure.

The system works for accessing the internet and texting. To make a phone call, use an app such as Skype or WhatsApp. The cable adaptor does not need external power. It runs directly from the Ethernet link between the Windows or Android device and the LAN network cable.

Modern day living is all about wireless and accessibility.  Devices have moved from wired to wireless to voice activated with the idea that we can tap into the Internet by just using the right voice command or key word. Whilst we love instant access, immediately available technology, little thought is given to whether this wireless technology is harmful. We may think these are good ideas, but it good for us and our children?

Why hardwiring is a sensible solution

Science and research is showing that long-term exposure to microwave radiation is linked to heart and brain cancers, infertility and increased instances of Electrosensitivity.

If you think this doesn’t affect you,then think about whether you have any wireless devices in your home like: smart phones, cordless telephones, wireless baby monitors or electronic tablets. Now think about if during the day you will use more than one of those devices at any given time. That’s increased exposure. All these devices emit microwave radiation.

Using any of these devices for more than 30 minutes in the day is considered long-term exposure.  For key information on protecting your home environment from excessive microwave radiation exposure, we suggest you undertake our unique Schools and Families Course. This online course covers the medically recommended best practice guidance for reducing risks and using safer technology solutions. It should take approximately 40 minutes to complete and costs less than a movie ticket.
