I have a MacBook Air M2. I want to connect it directly to my router (in other words, not use wireless). Can I do this? And if so, what cord do I need to buy (and is there a port to plug it into???).
Thanks!

The adaptor plugs into an open USB-C port on your MBA.
You’ll then need the usual Cat-5 or Cat-6 Ethernet cable to connect to your networking device’s ethernet port.
This cable can be as long as you need. (up to 100m)
They might … but I’ve never looked …
… as ethernet cables are virtual commodity items.
Here’s just one online source of MANY.
Almost any Big Box store will have them on the rack for pickup today.
You also need an Ethernet cable. Choose a CAT6 model. You’ll find plenty of those on the internet.
That seems really short. Do I need another cord to attach to that??
Great. Does Apple sells those Ethernet cables?
Great, thanks for the help!
You'll also find Ethernet ports built into many hubs and docks – and even into some monitors.
How do I connect my MacBook Air M2 directly to the router?
