PowerExpand+ 5-in-1 USB-C Ethernet Hub
i currently have the anker one pictured above. when trying to hardwire from wall ethernet jack to anker hub and then to macbook usb-c, my macbook does not connect to the internet.
i've rebooted, disabled wifi and rebooted, etc. and appear to have everything enabled on the usb-c connection as far as I can tell (screenshot below with wifi enabled and disabled) and it status shows connected with wifi is disabled.
is my problem the usb 10/100/1000 lan has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet message because i am using the anker device and not the thunderbolt device from apple?
if not, how do i figure out the self-assigned IP address?

I don't think the device should matter, it theoretically should just be transferring data from your Ethernet cable through to the Thunderbolt connection. I got my wife this one that is similar, and it always connects right away when she plugs her MacBook Air in.

No.

You have a self-assigned IP address because your device cannot reach a DHCP server. In most residential environments, that's your router. Have you tried plugging directly into your router?

not yet. i can certainly try.
is this an apple customer service issue or my internet provider issue? in terms of helping me.
