Ethernet with wan?

[RTX 3070 I7 11800h]

Heyo, my laptop has a wan port I was wandering if I could use wan to ethernet so I can have ethernet!

 

Thanks

Laptops don't generally have WAN ports, only modem.

 

What you're looking at is likely a normal ethernet port, if it was indeed a WAN port then you would only be able to connect it directly to the phone cable that a modem would usually be connected to.

 

If I'm not mistaken the two are not physically compatible.

Can I use thunder bolt for ethernet? or can I buy an adapter?

Can you show us the port. Wan is a function not a type of port. It's likely that the port is RJ45 ethernet. What is the model of laptop and what exactly are you trying to do?

That's a regular Ethernet port, you just need to open it up completely to be able to plug the cable in. Laptops nowadays have these collapsing port designs.

Can't make anything out of that photo (focus is just one tap away, you know?), but it should have print on it, and if all else fails, plug it in and see. If it's a cable that came with your computer or modem it's most likely Ethernet cable.
