About LinkBacksSo now, I am in a hotel room somewhere in China. The hotel provides free internet using wired LAN. If I am using an iPad, how do I get internet connection? What accessories do I need? Is it even possible?

Re: iPad & Wired LAN? Set up a wireless network using a macbook, if you have one.
I don't know yet if there's an iPad accessory for wired LAN.

Re: iPad & Wired LAN? Since you're in an Apple-centric forum, i suggest getting the AirPort Express Base Station.
