Thanks for joining this IT Wizs group! I’m trying to solve a connectivity issue I’m facing. I work remotely from home (customer support) and rely on a laptop connected via Ethernet. At home, the company uses Global Protect, but when I ping from my Android phone, it works fine. My goal is to switch to working from anywhere using my laptop and an Android device. I came across some USB-C to Ethernet adapters online and saw a few options: https://www.walmart.com/ip/8-in-1-Type-C...ng-Station... If any of these fit what you need, let me know which ones. Detailed advice would be great. Also, just a note—my job only requires a hardwired Ethernet connection across the US, not just at home.

I’d go straight for a budget USB 3.0 or USB-C to internet adapter right away. That way you skip the extra hassle of those low-cost hub bundles.
