Troubleshooting Ethernet Connectivity Issues on MacBooks with M1 Processors and USB-C Monitors

When it comes to using USB-C monitors with your MacBook, things can get a little complicated. However, if you're experiencing issues with your Ethernet connection not working properly, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to get everything up and running smoothly.

The first thing to check is whether the issue is specific to the M1 MacBook Pro models or not. Unfortunately, it seems that these models are having trouble connecting to certain monitors via Ethernet. This can be frustrating, especially if you're used to relying on a stable internet connection for your work or personal activities.

One common solution is to manually remove and add the Ethernet connection. To do this, open up your internet browser and hit refresh. Then, select the DNS tab and input your DNS information. Fill out the boxes according to your IP address, and click on your Ethernet connection. In the 'Configure IPv4' dropdown box, select 'Manually.'

Next, open up Network Preferences with your adapter connected. Click 'OK,' and then check your Ethernet connection to see if it's working properly.

If that doesn't work, you can try disconnecting your Multi-Port Adapter from your computer, manually removing the 'USB 10/100/1000 LAN' network from your list of available networks by clicking on the minus symbol (-). Then, plug your adapter back into your computer and manually add it to your Network Preferences by clicking on the plus symbol (+).

Once you've added your Ethernet connection back in, click on the 'Advanced' tab and then click on the 'Renew DHCP Lease' button. If your issues still persist, you may need to try a different set of troubleshooting steps.

In this case, it's recommended that you follow Set #1 first and test your Ethernet connection again before moving on to Set #2. Remember to note that there are two sets of troubleshooting instructions available, so be sure to check both if you're still experiencing issues with your Ethernet connection.

We hope these troubleshooting steps have been helpful in resolving any issues you may have been having with your Ethernet connectivity. With a little patience and persistence, you should be able to get everything up and running smoothly again.
