Do you need a special internet connection to use this or is it just like the USB ethernet adapter?
Thank you for all the detailed instructions on how to load myriad software packies to ensure an RJ-45 can talk to a Windows 7 PC.
I am new to Apple so forgive such a simple question.
What benefit would I get from connecting my iPhone or iPad to my Windows PC with a RJ-45 vice a USB? I read all the questions and answers (it was inspiring to see such a consistently polite exchange in a help forum!). But the only thing I've been able to take away from the forum, is that this device will allow a faster exchange between an Apple device and Windows 7 (with the right handshaking software).
Thank you- Asked by Robert C from Burke

Can I use this cable to hook up Time Capsule to my new Macbook Pro with retina display so I can get all files across?
I am waiting for my new Macbook Pro with retina display to arrive. To hook up the time capsule to restore a hard drive on my last Macbook Pro (six years old and still going strong!!) I used an ethernet cable. I am just wondering what to use now?

Answer
This cable is designed to allow a network connection, and is not strictly designed to connect them directly. However, you could connect them through a network, although this would require additional hardware, such as a switch to do so.

AnswerWell you would plug it into the thunderbolt port on the side of your laptop, from there you would just (like a regular laptop) plug the ethernet cable in and your mac should automatically detect and connect to the ethernet! :)

Answer
If you are currently a wireless connection then using a wired network connection will generally increase network speed. Depending on your network it could handle up to 1000 Mbps, I wish commercial internet was available at that speed. Whether it will make you downloads quicker is a different story. It will drastically reduce the possibility of interference which may give a perception of speedier downloads.
