Extending iPhone hotspot with EX6100
How can I extend the hostspot of my iPhone 5 (iOS 9.3.1) with an extender (I have a model EX 6100 available)? Can I then also use the ethernet port?
Would it be possible to operate the EX 6100 as an Access Point and feed the iPhone USB hotspot into the Ethernet port? Do such adapters exist?

I don't know if anyone here has tried it, but searching on Google suggests that it should work.

This is more speculative but reports suggest that this may work. You need an Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter (link) and a USB to Ethernet adapter (you may have to shop around for one that works). Let us know if it works!
Dear Ether
Thank you for your suggestion. However, before I shop arround for the two adapters you suggest, I would appreciate a more specific answer.
It is not the cost of the adapters but rather the time required to find and obtain them.
