Hi,

I'm sure you got USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet adapter to connect wired Ethernet Hub or Router.

You could try to remove the adapter in System Preferences under Networking. It should re-appears, but if not, you can always add it. Another thing to check is that it's coming up in System Profiler. You can check under thunderbolt, or USB-C, or networking.

If it's not coming up under there, something is more seriously wrong since the Mac isn't even recognizing the adapter.

Also you should check Router settings.
