Connect fairphone to Ethernet

[RBARK]

I want to buy a Fairphone. Before I buy please could someone answer the following two questions?:

How can I connect the Fairphone to the internet via Ethernet cable instead of wifi? I have a Lighting to Ethernet adaptor – could I use that or some other adaptor?

I currently have an iphone 4S with a very long list of Contacts in the Address Book. How do I get all the contacts from the iphone on to the Fairphone? I have a bacup of the iPhone data on my Apple Macbook Pro laptop (May 2010 release). Perhaps I could transfer the contacts across from the bacup on the laptop?

Lightning is not supported as it is specific to Apple; instead the Fairphone supports USB OTG to connect various devices. You can find USB OTG ethernet adapters online; using an OTG cable to connect to a ‘normal’ USB device, would typically also work.

For your contacts, I’d recommend to open a new topic if you can’t find it anywhere else on the forum.

Hello

Some time ago I tested an USB RJ45 adapter, but it wasnt supported at the time :

FP2 : USB device compatibility

Hello all ! We already discussed in another thread the very cool feature of the FP2 that its hardware support USB on-the-go. That means, with the right cable (few € on ebay), you can plug any USB device as you would do on a PC. Though, be aware that it might suck a lot from your battery, and since it uses the USB port you can’t do this and charge your phone at the same time. You will find down here the results of community experiments. Done with the out-of-the-box regular FP OS, so note that…

You could be luckier now that several updates passed, or with different adapter brands/models
