Hey, I'm kinda dumb when it comes to computers. I have this laptop, and I would like to connect it to ethernet because my wifi doesn't reach well to my room. However, there's no ethernet port on my laptop. I tried googling it, it said it was possible with an adapter. I just wanted to be sure it is something I can do. Thank you! (the laptop has a USB C and normal USB ports btw)
Can I connect an ethernet cable to a laptop without an ethernet port?

have done this with an ethernet adaptor on a firestick so can only assume that it will work with a pc.

Re-reading your post i'm not convinced this is what you're looking for, possibly you're looking to improve the wifi signal?? Unsure?

Get some homeplugs, or wifi repeaters and should do the same. You could also use a USB to Ethernet adapter.
