  • M1 Macbook Pro loses wired Ethernet connection

    I've got an M1 MacBook Pro which has a USB-hub Ethernet adaptor to give
    wired network to the modem-router, but it has lost that connection.
    Nothing I do seems to get it working again. I've tried multiple cables, checked the USB adaptor still works proeprly with USB-A devices, tried
    adding a new Location, deleting and re-adding network services, etc.
    The USB 10/100/1000 LAN is visible in the Network System Settings, but
    no internet/network connectivity works.

    Does anyone have any bright ideas? :o(

    I had hit and miss with Ethernet adaptors too.
    Nowadays I use only wireless with my MacBooks.
    If it HAS to be Ethernet then I guess you need to try another adaptor.

    Sounds like you've run the gauntlet - but do try again by getting your
    MBP back to the state where none of this is installed. Make sure WiFi
    works properly, RE-BOOT, then re-install the s/w for the device and try
    again.

    Curious: do you /need/ it to be a wired connection?

    I prefer it that way too - so this iMac M3 has the power supply with the Ethernet connector - but being in the same room as the router transfer
    speeds over WiFi match those of the ISP (440 Mbps down).
