@Smth17 afraid not it does need to be connected by ethernet. It's very strange not to have an ethernet port on a router can you post a picture of your router

If you are using a WiFi-only portable cellular data 'hotspot' for the connection, you could consider replacing this with a dedicated 4G or 5G router: those do have ethernet.
