From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Ahh, I see. I've got a mac mini m1, and thankfully it came with the ethernet port already. But I had to get myself a dock station/ USB-c hub as well to be able to have more USB ports, ahhh. https://www.amazon.com/Hagibis-Enclosure-Docking-MC25-Pro/dp/B09C5Q9TT6/

What you need is a dock station for your MacBook. something that will connect to the USB-c port.

Check this recent article about the best choices here:

Not all of the options they chose have ethernet ports, so give it a good read to get the right one. They have quite a few options with it on this list.

Which hub do you have from Qwuizzlab? I recently purchased a M1 Mini and ordered a hub that sits under it with the NVMe and SATA SSD slots inside, it didn't work. As soon as I start transferring large files to the NVMe the drive disconnects abruptly. I've been reading a lot on the internet regarding the M1's not being compatible with USB controllers/hubs/enclosures. The hub I got that didn't work was this (MC25 Pro):

Tried this and it doesn't work either:

I just ordered the Qwuizzlab UH35 (below) so we'll see how it works when it gets here:

The Satechi USB-C hub doesn't support NVME M2 SSD's; the hagibis ones do. Wonder how the two compare.
