Hello, this might be a dumb question but I can't seem to find an answer from googling. I wanted to ask if the MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI has an Ethernet port I can plug my cable into? I thought the 5G LAN looks like it but it sounds like WIFI to me, unless it's both? I can't seem to find any mention of Ethernet on MSI's page. Is this Mobo WIFI only or?

If it does not support Ethernet then what would be a good alternative? I'm planning on upgrading to a Ryzen 9 9950X3D.

Yes, it has an RJ45 port on the rear as shown in the second image, you've included in your initial post.

The port has a 5G on it's right. As for your point about WiFi, that would be the two gold plated connectors with WiFi 7 written between said gold connectors.

Is this Mobo WIFI only or?
No, the board has both Ethernet and Wireless connectivity = BlueTooth and WiFi.

Okay, thanks a lot.
