If all else fails, you can use your Ethernet cable to connect your Mac directly to the router. While this may be inconvenient from a location standpoint, you shouldn't have any problems with Internet connectivity while tethered to your router.

Thankfully, there are plenty of cheaper USB to Ethernet adapter solutions out there. Monoprice, the Internet's best-kept secret of cheap cables and the like, sells a for $6.64, nearly $22 cheaper than Apple's comparable product. Monoprice Usage couldn't be simpler. No drivers are needed -- just plug the adapter into your Air's USB port, and plug the available Ethernet cable in to the adapter. If you're a die-hard Amazon customer, try the.

It's currently priced at $7.90, but that includes free shipping for Amazon Prime subscribers. One thing to note, though: the USB adapters listed here (including Apple's) are rated at USB 2.0 speeds, so they max out 100Mbps -- even, apparently, when attached to the faster USB 3.0 ports on the latest 2012 MacBooks. (If you need gigabit speeds and can't wait for a bargain USB 3.0 adapter, you should opt for the Thunderbolt one for now.) But, heck -- for around $7, the Monoprice or I/O Crest dongles are worth adding to your toolkit for those times when the only connection available is via a good ol' wired network.

I just got a MacBook Air reciently, and opened the box only to find out that there is no ethernet port, I looked at the adapters it came with, and there was no USB to ethernet adapter (I find that quite stupid, as there are many MacBook Air owners that don't have wireless, and don't want to go back to the store. • Tell us some more • Upload in Progress • Upload failed.
