    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!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Simply works.......

    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 🙁

    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 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.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI bought this adapter because, annoyingly, my laptop has no Ethernet port and my crappy WiFi router can’t cope with our home’s solid internal walls!

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersAt the moment of buying was the cheapest option for a Ethernet adapter with USB A and C type of connectors.
    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.
