“The VIVO Book 16 M1605YA appears to not have a ethernet port. Does ASUS have a comparable model, specifically "Military Grade", that would have this port or is there a adapter available for one of the USSB / HDMI ports for this connection?”

Search for "USB C to ethernet adapter".
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.MIL-STD-810 includes a lot of different tests and is often used in marketing to make products appear to be ruggedized. I wouldn't trust this to be any kind of "military grade" hardware and frankly, unless Asus is willing to provide a Certificate of Conformance stating specifically which tests were conducted, I consider using the MIL-STD as a marketing term pure blasphemy. There is no Ethernet port, however you can get a multitude of different USB ethernet adapters from Best Buy. I would suggest sticking to a USB-A adapter, since the laptop only has one USB-C port and it is used for Power Delivery charging. You can, however, use the standard DC-in for charging, but avoid blocking your only USB-C port in case you need to use it for something else. It is only USB 3.2 anyway, and there are two USB-A 3.2 ports available, so there isn't any speed advantage to using the Type C over the Type A for an ethernet adapter.
