Does Inkplate 10 have a LAN port?

Soldered Support:
Inkplate 10 uses WiFi, which is built into the ESP32 microcontroller. You cannot add wired Ethernet directly, but you could use a breakout board connected to the GPIO pins for wired Ethernet connectivity. Note that not all pins on the ESP32 are available.
Check the schematic to see which ESP32 pins are fully available: Soldered-Inkplate-10-hardware-design/OUTPUTS/V1.3.0/Soldered Inkplate 10 Schematics.pdf at main · SolderedElectronics/Soldered-Inkplate-10-hardware-design · GitHub
Ethernet modules exist that connect to the ESP32 via SPI interface. This approach would be fast enough and won’t disrupt any functionalities of the ePaper display.
