Review on Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Thunderbolt MacBook by Nick Childs

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does not fit with: Networking products

I bought this product because it fits my needs (network connection plus 3 USB ports). It worked great in the beginning. But for some reason it stopped working after a few hours. I started reducing the number of connected devices. The network connection still didn't work even without using the USB port. I had to disconnect and reconnect this adapter from the laptop. Then the network works again. This happened several times. At first I thought the blockage was the problem. I switched to another block. The same situation happened with the newly arrived unit. Now I believe this is a design issue. If you briefly connect the device to the USB port, it works. You just can't plug them into the adapter for any length of time because you just can't know when it will stop working. Also note that you cannot connect devices to USB ports 1 and 3, not to 2. This leads to the situation described above. But it works if you connect devices to USB ports 1 and 2. USB prot should be used in sequence. Strange!
