Hi All:

My M1 Mini Ethernet port just stopped working. Network monitor says there is no cable attached. If I put the cable into a Ethernet to USB C connector it works perfectly. Has any one had this happen?

open a terminal and execute:

sudo ifconfig en0 down

followed by

sudo ifconfig en0 up

that should bring the ethernet connection back. Wich version of MacOS are you running?

The Ethernet port on my M1 Mac Mini suddenly stopped working today. I have tried multiple different router ports and cables with no success. I also ran it through the Apple Diagnostics test and that did not find any issues. I have tried the terminal commands suggested in this thread as well and they unfortunately didn't fix the issue either. Does anyone have any further ideas or suggestions before I look to book it into the Apple Store for them to take a look at?
