UGREEN USB C to Ethernet Adapter 2.5G, Ethernet Adapter Aluminum for Laptop | Type C (Thunderbolt 4/3 Compatible) to RJ45 Network Internet, Compatible for NAS, MacBook Air/Pro, iPhone 17 Pro/Max

It's a usb to ethernet adapter - plug one end into a computer, stuff a network cable in the other end, and enjoy fast connection. Obviously, the network will run at the speed of the worst component, so if you've got a poor cable or a slow router, it won't help, but if you've got 2.5G switches and router, this will let you connect at the full speed. It didn't need a driver for any computer I own, didn't appear to get particularly hot, and just worked out of the box. Having an adapter hanging out the side of a computer is less appealing that just having a network cable plugged into a built in port, but that's more on the computer than the adapter.

I have to state here that I am not incentivised by uGreen in any way, but am a big fan of their competetivey priced well made products. This was bought to easily connect a laptop to a 2.5Gb wired network after a similar looking dongle just wouldn't work in windows. Plugged in - recognised immediately and working at full speed - plus as always with all the many other uGreen products I have used it feels well made and likely to last and was very reasonably priced. Couldn't really ask for more.

I bought this UGREEN USB-C to Ethernet adapter to get a more stable wired connection, and it does exactly what it promises. Plugged it straight into my USB-C port and it was instantly recognised — no drivers, no setup.I’m able to fully utilise my 1 Gbps broadband with consistent speeds and zero dropouts. Compared to Wi-Fi, latency is noticeably lower and the connection is much more stable, which makes a big difference for work calls, large downloads, and cloud syncing.Build quality is excellent:• Solid aluminium housing• Compact and lightweight• Cable feels durable and well-finishedTested on multiple devices and it’s been flawless so far — no overheating, no random disconnects. If you need reliable wired internet on a laptop or tablet that lacks an Ethernet port, this is a very safe buy.Pros:• Full 1 Gbps speed achieved• Very stable connection• Plug & play• Premium build qualityCons:• None so farOverall, a dependable, high-quality adapter that performs exactly as advertised. Highly recommended 👍

This usb c to ethernet adapter works exactly as advertised, I have used quite a few other brands and have found this to be one of the best so far, it works on the samsung a55 no problems the a55 max out at slower speeds around 350mbs but higher end devices will see your full speed, you will achieve full speed on devices with compatible usb c ports, such as higher end phones and tablets, laptops, it worked perfectly on a family members oneplus tablet and samsung tablet, full up and down speeds as advertised and minimal battery drain which great as other devices from other brands would drain the device even when not in use, and use up more power when doing the same thing which wasn't good at all, this works with a usb A adapter (also ugreen branded) which I had handy, no issues with a windows pc, build quality is excellent nice design. Usb c port fits well not too tight and not too loose. No heat issues after many hours of use and zero drop out or loss of connection so far, would have liked the cable to have been slightly longer but its flexibility makes up for it, a Usb A in adapter included would have also been nice addition to the package but I would still highly recommend this adapter and ugreen devices as they have yet to fail me to date. Just remember the faster the port the faster your speeds will go, some devices will max out at 350mbs others will give you the full 2400mbps with a decent quality ethernet cable of course. Ugreen does a slower speed model if thats all you need but for a few pounds more I would grab this if you can for the long term.

I'm actually getting a slower speed going through the adaptor than connecting directly to my laptop.Fixed it by getting the updated driver manually.

I was looking for a 2.5Gbps ethernet adapter. My thinking is that even though right now, this is the only greater-than-1Gbps device I have, it is still a start. I hope to eventually buy a new router with 2.5G ports, and probably another one of these for my NAS. So that I'll actually be able to utilise the speed of the hard drives in the NAS when photo editing.I found some information that some of these adapters can have issues, but the ones that are based on the Realtek RTL8156 do not. This is based on that chip, and it was on offer, so it was an easy sell.I have it plugged in to the back of my monitor via a USB-A to USB-C converter. Basically my monitor contains a USB hub, and it in turn connects to my laptop via Thunderbolt 3.I use both an Apple MacBook and a Windows laptop. On the MacBook, it was installed automatically and worked like a charm. On Windows, it did not automatically install. Rather, it presented itself as an optical drive to the operating system. That seems to be deliberate, as there are driver installation files on that optical drive. However what I ended up doing was - as the manual suggested - download the drivers from the UGreen website. They work fine.Now a word of warning: the speed I got on both Windows and Mac OS was 100mbps (100baseTX). At first I thought maybe the USB port was working in USB 2 mode, or the adapter wasn't supplied with enough current. However it turns out to be far more basic: the cable I used was damaged, and so the auto-negotiation settled on a slower speed. When I tried it with another cable, I got gigabit speeds (1000baseT).It gets a bit warm, but it's nothing to be worried about. Mac OS reports the current draw as 256mA, which is well within the limits of what the USB 3.0 port on my monitor can provide (900mA).

Good value 2.5GB network adapter for when you board supports lower.Works at advertised speeds easily transferring 280-290MB a second on my systems (about 2.37Gbps) even on my older pc's with an added USB C cardEasy to plug in - no drivers to set it up for me on windows, easy to throw in a bag for portability - its tiny, nice cable.

Easy to connect, good connection speed on full fibre. Great for new thin laptops without Lan connector. Would recommend

El adaptador se ve genial, acabado en metal, bien construido, velocidad altísima de 2.5Gbps, el último chipset de Realtek para LAN... es una maravilla. Es compatible con Android, y no hace falta instalar nada, es plug and play. En Windows sí que hay que instalar los drivers de la página del fabricante, o también Windows Update los busca solo (no sé si la última versión). Funciona fenomenal, aunque claro está, para disfrutar de estas velocidades hay que conectarlo a un USB 3.0 o superior (lo digo especialmente por Android, que es muy común tener un móvil con USB 2.0).El precio es un pelín elevado, pero bueno, es un producto de calidad, es justo. Lo podrían haber hecho Plug and Play para Windows también, no sé si es posible.

Works well with MacBooks , iPads and iPhones 16 pro max. And it reaches 2.5 GB

Just as advertised works really well. Tested with macbook , iPhone 16 pro max and a ipad

Amazing
