Modem/router & extender require hard wiring to upgrade - but lap-top does not contain RJ45 connector port?
Adapter? Options?

Many thin notebooks (Dell, HP, Lenovo ...) now don't have RJ45 port. At least 4 notebooks in front of me right (including my loan Elite x360) don't have RJ45 port. My options give me 2 or 3 more USB 3.0 ports

Your machine can use one of the above adapters
My loan Elite x360 comes with HP adapter but it is not a hub, no USB 3.0 port.

I purchased an adapter with three older style USB ports and an RJ-45 port. In addition, I purchased an HDMI adapter to connect through the new USB port. Everything works fine. These were purchased on Amazon.
