Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works perfectly fine for me. Im satisfied with using it for my hp laptop. So I can work from home.

it does what it was built to do, works well with all my HP equipment

The pick up was fast and the guy was extremely nice

This is a basic, inexpensive, fully functional ethernet adapter that provides good throughput for up to gigabit ethernet connections. It doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy, and even has convenient status lights included. I tested on an Alienware m18 running Windows 11 and a MacBook Pro 2016 with Monterey installed. Both were using known good connections to my desktop running the server. Neither computer had any problems identifying and quickly setting up the adapter when I plugged it in. The documentation is typical for pretty much everything now, a tiny piece of folded paper that says, “plug it in”, and offers not much else, so just in case anyone needs to know, the right light on the adapter simply shows your connection status – green means good. If the right light is not lit and it’s plugged in, you’ll want to first use another cable, then look for other issues. The left light is the transmit/receive light which normally flashes yellow when there is traffic at whatever speed you may be running with. I do have a small complaint that the MAC ID is not printed or stickered on to the body of the adapter, nor do I see it anywhere on the cable. It would be nice to have that handy without having to connect it to a computer to view its own MAC ID. The MacBook identifies the adapter as “USB 10/100/1000 LAN” in the network settings and a bit more detailed information reveals this is using a Realtek chip, they tend to be quite reliable. The USB connection is shown as 5Gbps, USB 3.0 standard speed. Windows 11 (using USBView) shows the same “USB 10/100/1000 LAN” name and goes a small step further by identifying the NIC chip as “Realtek(R) USB GbE Family Controller”, also with a USB connection of 5Gbps. I ran throughput testing with the adapter connected to a new TP-Link TL-SG105-M2 2.5gGbps switch, a Netgear GS108PEv3 managed gig switch, and I tested with direct connection between NICs on the desktop and using the adapter for the laptops to connect to my server. There was no discernible difference between the adapter’s performance with either switch and worked the same with freshly made and tested CAT5E and CAT6 cables @ 6 ft. The USB connection to the computer is USB 3.0 @ 5Gbps, which is plenty for 1000M full duplex, no bottleneck there. I ran the tests with iperf3 at short and long test periods of 90 seconds and I tested for a full 30 minutes of nonstop use to see if it got hot from all the activity. It did not, it stayed slightly warm, but never got hot or had any flaky behaviors even on the long tests. The business end of the adapter cooled off very quickly after the forced test. For the slower speed tests, I did not have a 100 or 10meg NIC on hand, so I set my Netgear switch for 100M and 10M Full Duplex, respectively. I did not run the long test on 100M or 10M, as it seems those speeds are not going to pull the same current from the USB port, thus less heat. 10/100/1000 throughput tests: On the Mac, the gigabit connection averaged 937Mbps through the switches or direct connected, the 100M test showed an average of 29Mbps, which is not very impressive (could have been my setup) and the 10M test came up to – wait for it – a whopping 6.16Mbps, which iirc, is pretty good for a 10M link, the old rule used to be to only expect 80% and in my old experience, that was often a big ask. On Windows 11, the gigabit test was slower than the Mac, not able to beat an average 895Mbps. The 100M test came to an average of 60Mbps, with spikes to 90Mbps, so the 100M connectivity via Windows 11 appears to be faster and more consistent. The 10M test on Windows 11 shows a similar advantage with an average of 8.42Mbps (80%?). A quick FYI for Win11 users, NIC binding works just fine with this adapter and other connections, I had no problems with mixed connections of Wi-Fi/wired and wired/wired bonding. All these speeds are what I would consider correct and within an acceptable margin of error due to the USB interface variable. Different USB controllers on different computers (even from the same brand) can often have small performance differences and are also affected by the load on the computer at any given time. I tried to keep my machines idle while testing. If you are getting slower than expected performance from the adapter, *if you have another port available*, go ahead and try it, you may get better results. I do want to add a note about possible durability - The connector for the adapter is too long and offers too much leverage if pulled on, this seems like something that could torque a USB-C port rather hard if the cord got tripped on or pulled. The longer the actual connector is, the more mechanical force is applied to the directly to the port when the adapter is moved or pulled. I put in a picture to illustrate. So- be careful with your ethernet cable when you’re using this adapter. The wire is tacky and feels like it will get nice and dirty after a brief period of use if it’s being handled frequently. Overall, I’d recommend this adapter for anyone who needs a hardwire connection for their laptop without an ethernet port.

I used this adapter to plug my Ethernet into so that it would connect to my laptop via usb. I needed a wired connection for my work from home job and this did the job. No lag. Great purchase

Did the job it was suppose to do, but had to replace about every 2 months. Using so many eventually ruined my port so had to switch to another way to access ethernet. Can't get Wi-Fi in my area.

This adapter does what it needs to do and for half the price of the bigger brands.

This USB-C to Ethernet Adapter has a plug-and-play nature, so it is simple to use. It was immediately recognized by my computer and provided a fast & stable connection. That being said, I ended up returning the item as it did not work as I expected for my use case. I purchased this adapter to enable an ethernet connection for my laptop that does not have an ethernet port so that I can enjoy a stable wireless PCVR experience with the Meta Quest 2. I was unable to connect to Airlink, and Virtual Desktop kept on disconnecting and reconnecting. After some researching, I discovered that enabling the mobile hotspot feature on my laptop when it has a 5 GHz wi-fi connection provides a surprisingly stable wireless PCVR experience with my Quest 2. To summarize, this product does what it says it does and does it well for the most part. It works for general use, but if you would like to use this for wireless PCVR like me, then I suggest trying the computer mobile hotspot solution that worked for me or perhaps a different USB-C to Ethernt Adapter brand.

Worked for my needs. Needed to plug Ethernet into my Chromebook.

Not bad for a Best Buy Brand. Short cord but works great

Handy device when you need it! Most laptops do not have an ethernet port these days, and wifi is not always the strongest, this solves that problem

Bought this to hardwire my laptop which didn't come with an eithernet port, wifi had a glitch and had to connect with this to connect and solve the problem, This device worked great

great quality, good length for the base cable, decent ethernet speed for the price

It works normal. However I noticed the device does get a bit warmer after been used for a couple of hours.

Good product that is reasonably priced especially for immediate pick up

Works out nice for me to plug into an ethernet wall jack and increase the speed.

It works as expected. It works as expected. It works as expected.

Works fine and is smaller than other ones I've seen

So far i like it, it works so i cant complain about it. I just wish the length of the cord was a bit longer but other than that im happy with this product.

PLUG worked great. Ordering online, was not great.
