Apple Tech advantage over PC’s and ANDROID devices is its low maintenance and stability. This Blog shows fixed1t 'Worked and Tested Solutions’ to real Mac, iPad, iPhone and iPod issues, I identified and the things I did to fix or workaround them.

Apple 10 12 4 Update Bug Brightness Function Keys Fix
fixed1t Apple Mac Support
Last Night My MacBook Pro Prompted Me To Update Its Operating System To 10.12.4
This evening I started production on my latest fixed1t YouTube Video. I use a dual screen setup with the laptop for video output and a 32 3D TV control windows.
But the update has buggered the Brightness Function Keys
I purchased an iPad Mini with 4g GSM with an intermittent fault that switched it constantly from WiFi to 3G GSM making it unusable. Last week WiFi greyed out and died.
Part 4 - Reducing equipment required connect an iPad
as a standalone device on LAN Ethernet network
Part 5 - To Be Researched And Tested
Here is the Equipment I Used
You can buy one of these using the links below:
1) The amazing USB 3 3-port USB Hub and Gigabit Ethernet Port
The USA Amazon does not have this CSL device, but they have one which is physically the same with the same spec but in black, so I hope it will do the same job.
The Canadian device is the same as the Amazon USA device:
2) An official Apple Lightening to USB adapter. It only works with the Apple Adapter, there are cheaper alternative but they are really for charging and won't work as Bi-Directional ports which you need for this project to work.
This is how to connect the parts to get your Wifi defective iPad or iPhone onto a LAN wired network.
If its a GSM device then it should be working via your GSM 3G or 4G when not connected to the network.

Here are links to the equipment you need:
1) A Powered USB Hub, 4-port is best for portability. It must be powered from an external power supply or the adapters will not work.
2) An official Apple Lightening to USB adapter. It only works with the Apple Adapter, there are cheaper alternative but they are really for charging and won't work as Bi-Directional ports which you need for this project to work.
3) An Official Apple USB to LAN Network adapter, I have only tested this setup with the official Apple Lan Adapter so I can't vouch that any others will work.
