Studio Display - Best way to connect to wired ethernet network?

So if I get this right:

Ethernet (using usb-c adapter) hooked up to the studio display

MacBook Pro and studio display connected using thunderbolt 3 (usb-c)

The MacBook Pro will be connected to the network?

I don't really care about the speed or the width.

I don't want to sit down and connect the MacBook Pro to the Ethernet.

There is no point buying an expensive screen that connects with one cable if I still need to connect the MacBook Pro using another cable.

Thank you in advance. :)

an update: the 2.5 gig usb c adapter does give me full 1gig speeds.

The problem is that you can't establish a true gigabit connection. When connected through my thunderbolt 2 dock (which the studio display can't hook up to) and Thunderbolt Display I get 950mbps. When I use the studio display I get around 500mbps. I have tried 4 different gigabit usb c adapters, including the Belkin adapter that Apple sells. I just ordered a 2.5g USB C ethernet adapter to see if I have better luck.

Pretty crazy that my 10 year old Thunderbolt Display can handle a faster network connection.

The studio display is still rare in spotlight atm.

Best I've guess that the Thunderbolt daisy chain should work as Apple advised. Because Apple has always been trusted in certifications which you can check on thunderbolt official web page.

Thunderbolt incude the Ethernet connection. Again as they advised also I did try few time with XDR display at my end. It worked.

Correct. If you don't care about the speed any USB-C ethernet adapter will work. You could even get one that is a hub with other ports as well.

This is the one I bought that works flawlessly.

I tried that same Anker cable mentioned above with my Studio Display (with a new MBP 16") and I couldn't get mine to work plugging into the usb c ports on the display. You might have been using a hub.

The Studio Display replaced my old Thunderbolt Display, which I was able to connect my ethernet cable to directly (and worked great as I have two laptops I switch between and didn't have to touch that cable ever). This new display is nice, but realize how a few limitations will be very quick deal breakers for some.

Only when plugged into the MacBook directly does the Anker cable to ethernet work. Running 12.4. No updates avail so assume I'm on the latest firmware (it actually doesn't list it in my About Mac>Sys Report>Graphics/Displays window despite apple site mentioning that's where it's listed).

Ok, found the problem. I was using a usb-c extention from the monitor, connected to these magnetic usb-c connectors for easy swapability from computers that were connected to other thunderbolt cables that went directly to the MBPs (so i could swap the connection at the middle point, vs at the monitor or computer port), but when I removed them, the ethernet (using the anker adapter) and keyboard (using standard usb-c cable) connected to the monitor didn't work any longer.

The TB connection from the Mac to the display should be able to handle the ethernet connection at one of the USB-C ports on the display.

There is only one thunderbolt port on the Studio Display therefor you are unable to Daisy Chain (unlike the older Thunderbolt Display) as the single port has to hook up to the Mac.

Yes found out the same thing. Pretty disappointing that it cannot do the full 1 gbps.

Not using a hub on mine. Does it work when plugged into the MacBook directly? Have you done the firmware update on the display? Are you running 12.4 on your Mac?

Sounds like there is a problem with the display then. Do you have another computer you could try to update the firmware with?

Correction: "When I removed the magnetic connectors, the ethernet and keyboard DID work correctly".

This is really helpful, can you share which 2.5 gigabit USB-C adaptor you used? I'd like to workout something similar and I want to make sure I'm getting at least close to gigabit speeds. Thanks!
