    • Reliable Connection That Just Works
Style: USB 3.0 (Switch Compatible)
The TP-Link USB to Ethernet Adapter (UE306) has been rock solid in my setup. I use it on a PC that streams on Twitch 24/7 and it has stayed connected for months without a single issue. The speeds are exactly as advertised, giving a stable gigabit connection without drops or slowdowns. It is compact, foldable, and easy to carry around if needed, yet durable enough for continuous use. Best of all, it is very affordable for the performance you get. Plug and play setup was seamless with no extra steps required. This is a reliable, budget-friendly adapter that simply does its job perfectly. ... show more

    • Compact and reliable – perfect for fast wired connections
Style: USB-C 3.0
I’ve been using the TP-Link USB-C to Ethernet Adapter (UE300C) with my MacBook Pro and iPad Pro, and it’s been flawless. The compact design makes it incredibly portable, I can easily toss it into my laptop bag without worrying about bulk. Setup is completely plug-and-play, no extra drivers needed, which is great for when I travel or switch between devices. Connection speed is impressive, I’m consistently hitting near 1Gbps on my home network, which makes video calls, large file transfers, and streaming completely smooth. I also use it with my XPS and Galaxy devices, and compatibility has been seamless across all platforms. The adapter stays cool even during extended use, and the build quality feels solid and durable. For anyone who needs a reliable, portable Ethernet solution without fuss, this adapter is an excellent choice. Whether for work, streaming, or gaming, it delivers stable and fast connections every time. Highly recommended. ... show more

    • Works great

Plug and play. Works great, fast and reliable ethernet commection. I like that it has USB ports on it. I plugged the dongles to my wireless keyboard and mouse into it to free up ports on the computer. Nice cheap solution to the unreliable wifi I was dealing with

    • Works with Macbook Pro M4 Pro
Style: Plug & Play | Type-C to 2.5 Gigabit ...
I can confirm this works with Macbook Pro (MBP) M4 Pro laptop. It is just plug and play. The only thing I had to do after inserting this adapter for the first time was click “Allow” in the pop-up window to allow my MBP to use the adapter. Other than that it has been working great. I needed this to test my “1 gb” connection from my internet service provider (ISP). I can say it does transfer more than a 1gb, as I saw about 1.1-1.2gb down and upload speeds using Speedtest connected directly to my router/gateway. However, I CANNOT confirm if this does up to 2.5 gb (hence the 4 stars). I bought this in case I do switch to a 2.5 gb service plan in the future. We’ll see if it still works then. ... show more

    • Excellent dongle for macOS.
Style: USB-C 3.0
Excellent dongle for macOS. Inexpensive, compact and clean. ASIX chipset is solid. Unlike cheap generic dongles, I never experience dropouts or hiccups. No driver needed for macOS. Very happy. Save yourself time money and frustration and get a dongle like this. Especially if you work in IT and need performance and stability. ... show more

    • Works great with Fire Cube Gen 3.
Style: USB 3.0 (Switch Compatible)
This works great. Took my Fire TV Gen3, from a Ethernet direct connection from speed of 87 to using it in the USB3 port to 327. Programming is absolutely no buffering, and the response from the remote is noticeably snappier. Best $10 (on sale,) I spent. I have two fire cubes. Both had same performance. Yes, I know that Wifi is faster, but I prefer wired connections if feasible. P.S. disconnect both power, and the HDMI connections first. May require a restart of the Fire also. ... show more

    • This thing is excellent and works perfectly
Style: USB-C 3.0
This thing is excellent! I have this laptop and the Wi-Fi is not that good and my network bandwidth was really poor. So I got a relay Network extender and plug the ethernet cable from it into my laptop using this device. Everything rocks now.
