Q: Can I use the Ethernet port in my Thunderbolt display for a DAW controller?

I am looking at a DAW controller for Logic, this connects by ETHERNET cable,  but my MacBook Pro doesn't have an Ethernet port!

However, my Macbook is connected to a 27" Thunderbolt screen, which DOES have an Ethernet port, will it work if I just use that?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

    Hi

     

    When the display is connected to a Mac the Ethernet port behaves the same as any other Ethernet port, so your DAW controller should work OK

     

    Alternatively, you can buy a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adaptor
