I want to use an Ethernet connection but there is no port. There is an hdmi port. Can I connect to the Ethernet with an Ethernet to hdmi cable?

Hi:
I'm not sure you can do that, but you can purchase a USB to RJ-45 gigabit ethernet adapter and use that to connect via ethernet cable.
Something like this...
This device needs a driver in order to work on W11, and the user guide sends you to a link to download it from the Realtek website.
There is a W11 auto installation file.
Usually, it is a zip file that you download, unzip and run the setup application you see inside the folder.
