Is it possible to tether a non-cellular iPad?

[grimnir]

Hi, Spacedesk over wifi works great for me at home (Windows 11 laptop + iPad Air 4) but at the office it’s not possible to connect, even manually. I can only assume that this is because of the wifi configuration at the office. It’s a big office, and I have no way of affecting the router. And regardless, I want to be able to travel with this setup so I don’t want to rely on wifis at all.

Is it possible somehow to connect via USB even though the iPad doesn’t have a cellular connection?

If not, maybe there is some portable ethernet dongle or similar that can be used to set up a small virtual network, if so, do you have any products to recommend?

Thanks

Hi @grimnir,
Unfortunately, it’s not possible. USB tethering requires cellular support.
The only option you have is to use an ethernet adapter for your iPad (you can search a good brand online).
