I wanted to try connecting the iPhone SE to an adapter and then ethernet to the router. I did this once before and got a slow 100 Mbps, know of one gigabyte adapter?

WiFi is the better option for iPhone. Even a better option for the new 10th gen iPad because they only put a USB2.0 speed port even though it's USB C.

How can you say it’s a “better option” when you know nothing about the situation? OP must be asking about Ethernet for a reason. I have connected my phone to a network using an Ethernet adapter several times. Obviously for a reason

Because it is the better option, given it is an option. Which is why I say “better” and “option”. Not saying you should never use it. But in the majority of circumstances, Wi-Fi is a better option than Ethernet for iPhones.

But that’s my point. How do you know it’s an “option”? The times I’ve connected my phone via Ethernet was because there was no Wi-Fi to speak of. Your assuming Wi-Fi is available, making it an option.

I'm not telling them to not use Ethernet. I'm just stating a general fact. I am assuming nothing besides that they have an iPhone.

People prefer suggestions that are specific to their topic, rather than just stating a “general fact”. It’s more helpful that way. Also, no need to assume they have an iPhone. OP already specified they have a iPhone SE

Wi-Fi will get you a higher bandwidth than any adapter on current devices.

Lightning is spec’d to USB 2.0. I have a lightning multi port adapter and I think the fastest I got via Ethernet was 380Mb/s on an iPhone 13 Pro. This was on a 5GB fiber connection for my internet.
