How to use home LAN with XPS 14
I just got an XPS 14 delivered, nvidia graphics, and man am I bummed. It has NO LAN port. No laptop I have ever owned lacked a LAN port so I did not even look.
I'm allergic to Wi-fi, I get super sick...I MUST have a hard wire connection.
Question: Do I have to return this computer and get a refund or is there a way one of the ports on it can be hooked up to some dongle that can hook up to a normal LAN cable?

I have personally never heard of a person getting physically ill from WiFi?
The XPS 14 9440 sales site pictures show that there is not an onboard RJ45 Ethernet port. The pictures show the following ports =
Left side #1 Thunderbolt 4.0/USB-C
Left side #2 Thunderbolt 4.0/USB-C
Right side microSDXC
Right side Thunderbolt 4.0/USB-C
Right side Headset
The sales site Tech Specs also show =
Search Amazon for thunderbolt ethernet adapter for laptop.

Good news! You do not have to return your new XPS 14. Modern thin laptops often lack built-in LAN ports, but your XPS 14's Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports can easily accommodate a USB-C to Ethernet adapter. This widely available and affordable dongle will allow you to connect a standard LAN cable, providing the hard-wired connection you need.
