Is there a way to connect my MacBook Pro 13 inch directly to the internet instead of wirelessly

My internet connection is too slow for downloading the new Catalina update. Is there a way to connect with a cable instead of using wireless connection?

Without knowing the model year of your MacBook Pro, one of the following ethernet adapters would be used:
