My granddaughter recently got this new HP laptop, and she sometimes needs to use an Ethernet cable. Her laptop has what the user manual describes as an RJ45 port, but it doesn’t look like any RJ45 port that I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t look to me like any kind of USB port, either.

I know I’ll need an adapter (a dongle?), but I don’t know what to ask for. Can someone please help me with the nomenclature. Thanks!

Hi:

 

That is a little flap at the bottom of the port.

 

You can gently press down on it and plug in a standard RJ-45 ethernet cable.

 

My notebook has one of those too.

 

Personally, I don't like it.
