My wife and I use Home Plugs and ethernet cables to connect our computers to the internet. Is there any way we can connect my wife's iPhone to the internet via an ethernet cable and so not have to use wireless which is not helping our health problems? Many thanks.
Got a tip for us?

By the way, HomePlug emits a ton of radio waves because they are trying to pump a radio signal over crappy wiring that isn't designed for it.

Showing the HF Interference Problem from Ethernet over Powerline Devices
Over on our YouTube channel we've uploaded a new video that shows how bad the interference from Ethernet over Power devices can be. Ethernet over Power, Powerline Networking, Powerline Communications or 'HomePlug' is a technology that allows you to use any of your household power outlets as an...

.... exactly what health problems are you imagining you’ll have with wifi?
You're better off with wifi than homeplugs. Homeplugs put all sorts of interference into the mains wiring, their speed is about 1/3 of what is claimed, and their latency is higher than wifi.
Health problems from wifi? I doubt it.
Konqerror, thanks for the suggestions. Doesn't sound as though we'd be any better off using the Homeplugs in terms of radio waves. Didn't know they had emissions too.
In terms of Wireless vs Homeplug, we live in an old building with very thick walls and more to the point wireless doesn't work on either of our ancient computers - my Mac Mini is 11 years old. As regards health issues, you only have to Google "Wifi and Health." There's a lot of stuff. My wife can tell whether the wireless is switched on at the router just from how she's feeling. I guess we can only get away from emissions altogether by having both computers linked directly to the router. Disappointing news.

All of which is misinformation and fake. All the decent studies with large enough sample sizes and good controls show there is no impact from WiFi, 5G or any other form of public wireless transmission.
Google will also turn up a lot of information claiming the Earth is a flat disc. It's about as believable and real
