I have thick brick walls in my house, and I just discovered that there's an unused Ethernet cable running from my cupboard to the router. I'm wondering if there's a way to connect this cable to my MacBook to improve my internet speed. I'm not very tech-savvy, so any advice would be appreciated!

Why bother with a DIY approach? Just get a USB-C hub that includes an Ethernet port. It'll often have extra USB ports and even HDMI connectivity. It's a great all-in-one solution, and they usually cost around $20.
Wait, do MacBooks really not have Ethernet ports? That seems pretty limiting! Most models just have USB-C ports, so using an adapter is definitely the way to go. You’ll be all set for a wired connection in no time!
It's super easy! Just buy an Ethernet to USB-C adapter. They sell for about $10 online or at any electronics store. This will give you a stable and fast internet connection that’s way better than Wi-Fi, especially with your thick walls.
Yeah, that's what I noticed! I guess I need an adapter then.
