What should I do if the adapter/hub/dock's Ethernet port is not working?
If your laptop cannot recognize a wired internet connection when you’ve connected to the Ethernet port, then the issue may lie in the connected laptop, the ethernet cable, the router, or the adapter/hub/dock itself.
Here are some troubleshooting tips that may help identify and resolve the problem.
For the laptop:
Update your Ethernet driver.

If your laptop is a MacBook with an M1 chip, update to the latest version of macOS
Try this device with a different laptop and see if the issue persists.
For the ethernet cable:
If possible, use a shorter Ethernet cable.
If possible, plug your network cable directly into the Ethernet port of your laptop and see if you get a stable internet connection.
Try a different Ethernet cable.
Confirm that the Ethernet cable port is not deformed.
For the router:
Reboot the router.
Try a different router.
For the adapter/hub/dock:
Confirm that the RJ45 female connector is not deformed
Confirm if the LED light is on when it's connected to a laptop.
Try with a different device to see whether you can get a wired internet connection.
