I can confirm that Nighthawk M3 MH3150 can work with an USB-C to Ethernet dongle.
It is also announced in Netgear page (Nighthawk® USB-C to Ethernet Adapter):

https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/USB2ETH/USB2ETH_TS.pdf

By the way i has been "sold-out" on any e-shop.

When I first got the M3, in the last window/screen it mentioned the option of using an usb-c to ethernet dongle, once firmware was upgraded it did not show that message anymore.

I've been trying many regular 1Gbps dongles, and almost fail, but could get it working with a 2,5Gbps bought on amazon:
Vonxite 2.5G Adaptador USB-C Ethernet+PD100W

It required some setup tweaking on the Router but finally worked.

    I am getting a IP (192.168.1.0/24) and gateway/DNS 192.168.1.1 from the router via LAN Adapter ... But I couldn't access the Internet ... What setup are you using
