Hi Dave! The HP 15-fd0127dx does not have an Ethernet port. However, you can connect an Ethernet adapter via USB. These are available as part of a hub, or singly; they are affordable and work great.

I bought this adapter below though have not tried it yet on my new HP laptop. Try and look for this: HP USB-C to RJ45 Adapter G2 Product # 4Z527AA.

When was the last time you bought a new laptop?!

Laptop manufacturers have been trending to omit the Ethernet port, especially on lower priced models, for some years now. This allows them to save some space and weight, as well as to lower prices. The exception is usually laptops aimed at business or gaming. If you really want one, you can buy an adapter (under $20) that will connect to a USB port.
