Works great (Pluggable USB-C to Ethernet Adapter)

I have a 400Mbps internet connection and the speed I get with this adapter is the same as the built-in Ethernet ports on my other computers on the network --- 400+ Mbps as measured by Ookla's Speedtest. I use Cat 7 cable with it. I tried 2 other ethernet adapters and only got about 80-100Mbps with them. I highly recommend this one!

Pros
  • Great Value
Cons
  • Fair

5 months down

I had to buy this because the drivers for my previous USB-C plug-in network adapter didn't work with the latest macOS. So I bought this one and it worked great but just about 5 months later it doesn't work. Something inside doesn't connect properly; It works if I pull it gently, but as soon as I let go it dies again. Not worth the money.

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Big and bulky

USB C to Ethernet Works for my Mac

No installation hassle - plug and plug. Works with my Macbook (2015) with Big Sur. Bought another adapter which turned out to be incompatible and found reviews online saying many of them didn't work with Big Sur. This adapter was listed as compatible with Big Sur.

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • Some cons

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Oil reliable for computers and accessories

Does what it's supposed to do but it's overpriced for what it does. I ordered ethernet adapters that also include USB ports for the same price. I didn't go back because I'm loyal to the brand for some reason, I have their old USB 2 adapter which I got in 2013 and it still works like a champ. If I'm looking for a strong ID use the plugin but I just want them to offer more options for their queries.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Solid Product for Network Adapter

This is a high quality product. I tested it with a 1 gigabit internet connection and it runs at full gigabit ethernet speeds. It's as fast as my desktop's Ethernet port. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Special Offer
Cons
  • Contact Seller

Works well with my configurations

I love its usefulness as part of a dynamic reconfiguration solution for 2 large monitors, large hard drive, headset, camera, mouse, ergonomic keyboard and many legacy peripherals to migrate to my MacPro.

Pros
  • Quality build
Cons
  • Almost never

Attention buyers - power adapters

These USB adapters are very cheaply made. I bought 3 and had to send 1 back immediately. The metal connection that plugs into the computer's USB port was loose and could not be used. I should have just returned all three in the first 30 days. In the next 3-6 months the other two also expired. However, it was too late to get a refund for them. What a waste of money.

Pros
  • Like everything before
Cons
  • It's hard to remember, but it was

Attention buyers

These USB adapters are very affordable. I bought 3 and had to send 1 back immediately. The metal connection that plugs into the computer's USB port was loose and therefore unusable. I should have just returned all three in the first 30 days. In the next 3-6 months the other two also expired. However, it was too late to get a refund for them. What a waste of money.

Pros
  • SMALL AND FLEXIBLE - The Thunderbolt 3 to Ethernet Adapter is small and light, making it ideal for travel. It's made from the latest materials, including a printed circuit ribbon cable that ensures durability and fits into any workspace.
Cons
  • A newer model could have been selected
