If you’re a Macbook user seeking an alternative to connect to the internet apart from WiFi, allow me to introduce you to a product that enables direct connectivity to your WiFi/Internet routers.
Given that most Macbooks and the latest Windows laptops have omitted the RJ45 port, users now primarily rely on WiFi or hotspots for internet access. However, for activities like live streaming, a precise and stable internet connection is crucial for better broadcasting. To achieve this, a wired connection is highly recommended.
I faced this challenge a few months ago as a Macbook Air user. Maintaining a stable internet connection through WiFi was a struggle, especially when multiple devices were connected.
Apple offers separate accessories to enhance the user experience of their devices, such as a “USB to RJ45 adapter” available at a Mac store, priced at approximately Php 1,900.
I am a “Kuripot” person and always seek budget-friendly alternatives. Consequently, I conducted some research and stumbled upon the USB 3.0 to Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet LAN Network Adapter.
I managed to acquire it for just Php 248 on Shopee. This adapter offers support for 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing capability.

If you’re in search of a cost-effective yet highly efficient solution, I strongly recommend giving the USB 3.0 to 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet LAN Network Adapter for PC and Mac a try.
A quick reminder: please use it responsibly and at your own expense.
