Review on πŸ”Œ Cable Matters USB C to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (2.5g Ethernet to USB C) - Compatible with USB4, Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 by Hank Mistretta

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Puzzle. Bad adapter?

Tried on Linux and Windows Windows 10: The computer beeps like a new device is detected, but it doesn't show up anywhere. No network adapters, no errors in Device Manager. Can't get it to work with either USB-C or USB-A. Linux: I have to admit that this confuses me a bit. The adapter works well (at least with gigabit), with a USB 3.0 Type-A connector I can transfer 850 Mbit/s down and 53 Mbit/s up, which is about what I would expect from my service. Strangely, when I use the USB-C adapter, it only downloads 40Mbps. speeds and only one "orientation" (switching often leads to loss of connection and packet loss).

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Defects present
