Non-Wifi connection to Ethernet

I want to connect my 10.1' Tab A (2016) (micro USB) to Ethernet.
Is there an adapter for this or am I only able to connect via Wi-Fi?

My smaller Samsung tablet (2017) has USB C so am able to easily connect via USB C to RJ 45 adapter.

Thank you!

Your Tab A appears to include OTG support so yes, you should be able to use a microUSB-to-Ethernet adapter to get wired connectivity. Just note that the adapter needs to be fully compatible so whatever you buy will probably work out fine but don't be too surprised if it doesn't. Shop around with a retailer that has a good return/restocking policy in the event you do need to try out more than one.

Thank you greatly! Was getting a headache from overexertion trying to figure this out. RQ (real quick) can you explain what OTG is or is for?
