Hi I am trying to get my macbook pro 2012 to connect to me router via ethernet. The router shows it is connected at 1Gb/sec but when I then use the connections menu to establish internet connection it is showing as not connected. I am running OS 10.15.6
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15
MacBook Pro 2012 issue with connecting to internet via ethernet to router.
Solved it by removing and then adding the thunderbolt ethernet in the network systems and then resetting DHCP.
How to do this?

Be certain you have "Set service order" to place Ethernet at the TOP of the list of interfaces. The TopMost, Working interface is the one used for connection to the Internet.
When the Ethernet cable is not plugged in, Ethernet will not be working, so Wi-Fi (next on the list) will be used automatically.

That had been set up and the router was seeing the connection. What in the end solved the problem was removing the Thunderbolt link and then replacing it in the network settings.
Could you advise on how to do this process. Please.
