Samsung Galaxy Ethernet interface needed

Saw a post from Jeam in 2016 where I'm thinking "Did I post this?"
"...it seems to be impossible to download the updates that way, it keeps asking to do it via WiFi.​

The problem is that the wife is extremely concerned about possible long-term health issues related to wireless signals, and I would like to keep the peace by doing the updates either by mobile data or by Ethernet..."
​
Our home became WiFi-free earlier this year and during our final remodel (of 3) we had Ethernet pulled to every room. She uses Apple and has been hooked up since June. I still haven't found out how to connect my Samsung Galaxy 7 (Device name: Samsung-SM-G930A).

ANYONE KNOW how to enable Ethernet as the signal source? And what hardware (dongle) is needed?

Thank you,
Grady

You do know that mobile data also uses wireless signals?

But anyway, Amazon lists USB Ethernet adapters that are apparently Android compatible.

Can't recommend any particular one though, as it's not something I've considered using myself.
