worked with TP-Link T2500G-10TS

Here is my feedback after receiving this product and TP-Link T2500G-10TS. USB-C to USB Converter, other end to my MacBook (macOS Catalina v10.15.5). I opened a bash terminal screen (note that zsh is the default shell, but the OS update kept my previous default). I then ran (from the $ prompt) $ screen /dev/cu.usbserial-AG0JKQ72 38400 cs8 -ixon istrip and everything worked fine. I entered the command line interface and the commands ran fine. PS It turned out that TP-Link included a USB-C/USB cable that worked fine with the Macbook. The /dev/cu.* port was different (run ls /dev/cu.* before and after connecting the cable), but the same screen command worked on each cable/port; I'll keep the FTDI cable anyway.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
