Not sure which Apple ethernet adapter and cable are compatible with my McBook Air from 2012.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
You need the Apple Thunderbolt 2 to Ethernet adapter. For the cable you need a CAT 5 cable with RJ-45 plugs on each end. Most are found in 16 foot lengths.
That's the standard plug for Ethernet. According to your modem's specs it has one standard Ethernet jack. The modem also has two RJ-11 jacks for VoIP. If you need more Ethernet connections, then you can connect a multi-port switch to the modem. The modem supports 300Mbps which should handle pretty much all cable providers' service speeds.
A faster modem and/or faster Internet service from your provider.
Yes, any CAT5 will do. 5CATs, on the other hand, is a handful.
Thanks, Kappy. I guess I was talking about which internet cable, and Apple adapter, is compatible with my mid-2012 McBook
Air´s Thunderbolt port. I´d like to bypass the WiWi by connecting directly to my modem using an internet cable.
Very helpful.. Can I use a Cat 5E cable?
I have an Arri TM 822 modem. Its ethernet port does not look like it would accept an RJ-45 plug.
McAir 2012 What do I need to plug it into modem for faster downloads?
