Works well on my laptop with no ethernet port, does the job.
This works and increases speed over wifi works with my 2016 dell xps and 2015 macbook pro both gained a 20% boost over wifi i just used a long ethernet cable to wear i sit and plug it in.
Opened the box, plugged the usb end into the C Adaptor. Plugged the C adaptor into the slot on my laptop (works with just the usb connection also). Plugged ethernet cable into the other end and hey presto – wired internet.
All I had to do extra was switch the wifi off on my laptop. I’ve run speedtests and it gives me more download and upload speed. No installing drivers, no silly popups or messages. Plug and play personified. For the price, I’m still getting over the shock. Looks and feels well made too so hopefully should last being carted about with my laptop.
Excellent product. Does exactly what it said it would do, and at a very good price. Well happy!
Functionality very good. Casing feels robust. Looks sleek.
I don’t use the USB C extension with this kit (wanted it for other use), but works well for that use!
Converts ethernet to usb. My Dell laptop has no ethernet connection, but I needed one.
This did the job fine. No driver required for windows 11.
Didn’t work, as in it showed the Ethernet was connected but that it has no wifi. I tried with a different Ethernet adapter and it worked perfectly so it’s clearly the fault of this one
Update: Whilst it didn’t work, the customer service is incredible and I was offered a full refund or a new item. Also, this was the second adapter that I bought on Amazon that ended up not working so perhaps I am just cursed 🙁
ew laptop, no ethernet hole, no internet to TV, so this connects easily to stuff downloaded from internet to play through larger tv
just pluged it in to back of the nintendo switch, went to network and it was detected straight away
kids was always saying fortnite lagging fingers crossed this stops i
Me viene sper bien para que vayis conexin a Internet mas rpida que por el wifi.
Fitted inside the dock of an original Switch. Something like a 70% increase in download speed compared to the WiFi it was using. It’s on gigabit Ethernet, but the throughput will be limited by the capabilities of USB and the Switch.
The package arrived on time and the size is smaller than I expected. Tested both USB and Type C port works well when connected to the ethernet cable. So far so good.
Estoy encantado con l, se estrope la tarjeta de Red de una placa de un servidor viejo que tengo y me salv totalmente, fue enchufar y a funcionar, adems lo compr con cara al futuro de comprar un porttil ultraligero que no suelen tener conexin RJ para as poder conectarlo por cable, tambin es compatible con el dock de la switch para poner darle conexin por cable. Un producto muy bueno a un precio excelente
Got it during the lockdown as the WiFi was a bit slow.good produc
Worked first time connecting a Windows 11(!) laptop to a router. No fuss, no mess.
The usb network adapter worked from the box on first plug-in on my windows 11 laptop. No need for drivers or installation.
My criticism is that the usb-c to USB adapter is hopeless. It wobbled about when new, then the usb-c part fell out of the bit. Fortunately my laptop has a usb-a port. Shame I couldn’t use my usb-c port though, and glad I didn’t need this for a MacBook!
Apart from this, the network connectivity has been stable and fast.
Purchased this as my laptop didn’t have LAN port. Fitted and worked a treat.
I had not heard of this type of network connector and I am most impressed. Plug and play, works a treat.
I only had to plug it in. Now I can choose between WiFi and Ethernet. Superb produc
Comes with the usb c adapter which worked ok with two of our Samsung mobiles but not with one other manufacturers mobile. This could be down to the version of Android it is running not necessarily the adapter’s fault.
This adapter is from unknown brand to me, yet it has a nice build quality and the reason i bought it is to hard wire my laptop rather than using wifi
Does the job and nice that it comes with a Usb C adapter too. Very happy with this purchase
With the type of OTG cable in the picture you’re able to use this with Fire TV Stick. It works Plug & Play. My connection is a lot more reliable already.
The addition of a USB to USB type C adapter is very useful and can also be used on other devices without a problem.
My new laptop did not have a LAN connection which is a disaster should you need to edit the settings on your wireless router or you have Wi-Fi issues. I read about this and purchased without hesitation. Seems to work fine for me.
Plug and go. Now have full speed on the Internet. Happy
Item as described and works when checked, as need this for a video call on laptop that did not have an rj45 ethernet connectio
The adapter originally delivered didn’t work, but that’s not costing Atolla a star because their support was superb and a replacement was dispatched within a couple of hours of me emailing them. They also followed up to make sure I was happy with the replacement. Excellent service.
On receiving the replacement it was working with my Windows 10 laptop and Netgear Ethernet switch very quickly. It’s just a matter of downloading and installing a driver and plugging it into a spare USB A port (or a USB C port using the supplied adapter). I tried both and both worked.
I did find that using the USB C adapter meant the adapter felt a bit wobbly, but that’s because USB C ports are tiny and I’m hanging a heavy 2 meter cable off it. Despite feeling a bit flimsy there was no problem with the adapter staying in the port.
In the end my best solution was to plug the adapter directly into a USB S socket on my powered Atolla 7 way USB3 hub – it works fine at full speed.
In summary, not the cheapest USB Ethernet adapter, but neither is it expensive. Given that it is USB3 and Gigabit Ethernet compatible it’s very good value for money. And the support was excellent.
Would I buy another? Oh yes.
Works well. No need for driver install on MacOS. Only complaint is that the usb-c adapter did not fit properly in usb-c socket – tested with another adapter and also using a USB hub. Worked fine.
If you want to transfer files to your switch super fast, then do everything wired. This works perfectly, out of the box, first time, every time!
Works perfectly with nintendo switch if you’re wanting to use a wired connection for smash, very compact easy to use.
Very easy to install on the Nintendo switch. Simply plug it into the USB port at the rear of the dock. Plug in an Ethernet cable and within seconds it’s up and running. Excellent value for money. Couldn’t be simpler.
Allows me to hardwire my Nintendo Switch and issue a fixed IP Address and gives decent stable speeds. Very please with purchase.
Got for working from home for George reasons. Works fine.
Works well and allowed me to have a wired connection on laptop.
All good. Working fast, giving me the same speed as on the previous inbuilt PC Ethernet card.
So far so good. Helps with my wifi that keeps dropping out. Solved a lot of disconnection issues in this new age. Happy with the purchase.
Bought this for my Samsung Tab a tablet and it works well connecting to the hub via ethernet much better for live streaming to facebook than WiFi.
I bought a new lap top which didnt have an rj45 socket. The wifi connection was very unstable until I did the 2 hours worth of upgrades. So I bought this adaptor and the next day plugged it all in and commenced the upgrades. Took no time at all and didnt error out. Once the upgrades were installed, the new wifi driver worked perfectly. I will however keep this in my bag of cables in case I need to plug into an ethernet connection when Im travelling.
I didn’t think this would work ,I’m having an outbuilding converted to an office and internet signal from the house hub was zero ,this piece of kit coupled with a booster has enabled super fast internet .Modern computers often don’t have Ethernet so this is a great solutio
No set up involved.
Just plugged it in and started working.
Lovely!
I’ve bought it to connect my Switch to he internet via Ethernet cable and it’s been spotless.
Does what you want it too, currently a wired connection is faster and more stable than a wireless one so for online gaming it’s a no brainier.
his does what its supposed to be with the USB, i couldn’t get my USB C to work but im sure thats more research needed on how to get it to work.
All in all a nice little solution to not having an RJ45 po
Easy to use, no drivers needed (Windows) Ideal for when you do not have a network port on you laptop.
A good adaptor that performs well. A bit fiddly to get working on a mac but they provided detailed instructions on how to achieve this.
Tricky to setup with drivers but works perfectly once installed.
Worked and connected seamlessly, great value for money, would highly recommend
Bought for gigabit Ethernet to Nintendo switch and not disappointed
Ideal for setting up a wired connection with the Nintendo Switch much better for online stability. Plug and play nothing else to do or say.
Use this for my nintendo switch and surface laptop. Works perfectly fine on both. (For nintendo switch use the usb port at the back and not the side).
The adapter arrived on time and was as advertised and was just what I needed.
I’ve been meaning to re-edit my review. I sorted out the regular disconnection on the switch by having it standing instead of free hand held. (I’ve gotten used to using a wireless controller now).
exactly what i wanted. perfect product, sends over the exact packets from my router to my switch. extremely easy to setup because it’s literally just plugging in the ethernet then plugging in the USB.
Works perfectly for Nintendo Switch, my son is very happy with the fast reaction times in comparison to the WiFi connection.
Does what it says .now I have a wired connection for my switch
Simple but great idea for those of us whose laptops don’t have an ethernet socket.
Very good build quality.
Plugged it in, worked instantly, connection speed 120mb.. on the switch …
Then tried on my laptop 512mb…
Does the job! Needs it for a Microsoft surface pro as I needed 2 monitors…works beautifully
Despite the product listing you do actually need to install a driver on OS X 10.15, but it comes with instructions and procedure is simple. Once you’ve done that it works well.
Just perfect! I bought this usb c to either net adapter because I stream from my xbox one to my tablet (elite dangerous and Red dead redemption 2) when in bed.
On WiFi I was getting pixilated images from time to time. Started using this plugged into a powerline adapter. And no more pixilated screen both games ran like a dream. Highly recommended if your WiFi is slowing you down.
The only problem I ran into was downloading movies as my tablet insisted on using WiFi (Google movies)
It was needed for a Nintendo Switch and does what it says in the tin.
Works straight out of the box on most devices. USB-C adapter is handy, and not an unreasonable price. Would recommend.
I have used this adapter on my laptop via USB, although did test the USB-c adapter as well.
Simply plug in wait a few seconds for Windows to initially install the driver (automatically) and away we go.
Not sure how long the USB-C adapter would last, as the plastic looks to be really rigid so likely to crack over time, if you have it connecting and constantly just hanging in the air.
usb and type-c connector nice bonus, will come is handy with my work
Plugged it in and worked first time. No drivers needed
Connected to the Nintendo Switch Dock, plugged in an Ethernet cable and it just worked.
My Ethernet socket on my pc can’t seem to pick up my Internet… it has been a problem for about 2 years!
I got this product and hay presto! Works a treat! Now I’m able to have my pc connected directly to my router with a Ethernet cable making live streaming much better!
I highly recommend this product!
Superb, worked straight out the box, and also on the PC with a small driver install, which instructions pointed me towards with ease.
Works correctly. I have used this on my
Laptop and tried it on my tower
Pc and works fine on both
I bought this to alleviate a temperamental WiFi connection, and boy does this thing work well! I honestly haven’t looked back since, and use this plugged into my Nintendo Switch dock every time I host my island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Can’t complain!

I bought this mainly to add it to a DIY PfSense firewall based on a computer with only 1 Ethernet connection. It works very good with Pfsense and it is automatically recognized by the Debian operating system.
I was able to test it on:
Microsoft windows: plug and play, drivers were automatically recognized on Windows 10 and Windows server
Ubuntu: plug and play,
Debian: plug and play
Hassbian: plug and play
A little bit of manual intervention was on VMware: I had to manually add the drivers, but worked like a charm after that.
In my tests the best speed was 800MB on a USB 3.0 interface.
I am pleased with this purchase, largely compatible and cheap.
