  • Good inexpensive 2.5Gb adapter
Model: USB-A to 2.5G-AR01
Since almost all modern computers (at least those that we mortals can afford) ship with only a 1Gb network port (if indeed it has anything other than wifi), this is a great upgrade if you can use the speed. While my internet is only 300mb (more than enough for almost anyone), I do have a home server that I use for file storage; using this adapter (combined with a 2.5 Gb network switch) for connecting to my network makes file transfers much faster. It's pretty much plug-and-play with Windows and also worked with Debian Linux. The overall quality seems good, and it gets warm, but not hot (which is to be expected). Connectivity has also been good with other networks that I've tried including my work network. At a price of $15 as of this writing, it is a real bargain. ... show more

  • Solid realtek based 2.5g NIC
Model: USB-A to 2.5G-AR01
Works great with a normal USB 3.0 port in a few different computers that I tested with. Make sure to enable jumbo frames to get the best speeds. Great value, easily connects to Windows 11. Doesn't seem to get too crazy hot, but is at least noticeably warm to the touch after testing at full 2.5g speeds ... show more

  • Upgrade Your Wired Network: Fast 2.5G USB-A Ethernet Adapter Review
Model: USB-A to 2.5G-AR01
This compact 2.5G USB-A to Ethernet adapter is an excellent solution for users seeking faster, more reliable wired connections for laptops, desktops, or NAS systems. Supporting up to 2.5Gbps speeds through a USB 3.0 interface, it provides a significant boost over standard gigabit adapters—perfect for fast file transfers, smooth gaming, or uninterrupted media streaming. The sturdy aluminum housing and braided cable give it a premium feel and added durability, while the plug-and-play setup works with most modern Windows, macOS, and Linux systems without requiring extra drivers. In practical use, this adapter delivers noticeably improved transfer rates on networks that support multi-gigabit speeds. It’s compatible with a wide variety of devices, including laptops and some tablets, and offers stable, consistent performance for demanding tasks. The only minor downsides are its slightly bulkier size compared to basic gigabit adapters and the need for compatible hardware to achieve full 2.5Gbps throughput. Overall, it’s a smart and affordable choice for anyone looking to upgrade their wired networking experience on USB-A devices. ... show more

  • Simple USB to Network adapater, USB3.0 compatable, windows recognized.
Model: USB-A to 2.5G-AR01
I have not had a chance to test this on a Windows 11 laptop or to push it past 1Ghz bandwidth. Will have to update with those results later. Windows did pick this device up on it's own so no extra work has been needed to get it working. For now this had been a great addition to my tools. Especially where a system is landlocked with a single either net jack. I know some newer laptops don't even have 1 jack. So everything works as a USB addon. I use it to have access to a second port as needed for isolated internal network. This can be useful in all sorts of ways. Obviously if your internal network poor has failed this is a great alternative as well. Likely to exceed anything at all you might ever need. At least for a typical user. This is a True USB3.0 jack so, I strongly recommend you only use this on a USB3.0 or later. But it will also work fine on a USB2.0 port. Your limit on 2.0 I assume is the max bandwit6h that 3.0 can easily exceed. Though I don't have an easy test for this just yet. My one complaint. They used a aluminum tube body. I am sure this helps make it crush resistant, probably helps remove heat when its running full speed, and simplifies assembly. But the edges are sharper then they need to be. It would take very lite to tumble these parts before assembly thus removing the sharp edges. No it's not knife sharp, but its a clean hard 90 deg angel without bevel. Pros: works on both USB 2.0 and 3.0 jacks, recognized by windows and drivers were installed automatically, durable cable, crush resistant body. Cons: Hurd metal body has sharp blunt edges, Few networks exceed 1Gb at this time so its hard to test, Would I recommend this as an alternative network jack, yes. ... show more

  • A quick and reliable USB-C to 2.5Gbps Ethernet adapter
Model: USB-C to 2.5G-CR01
This appears to be a very good quality USB-C to Ethernet adapter with a speed of 2.5Gbps. The housing is solid metal so it should be able to take tossing around in a travel bag no problem. I tested by transferring a large amount of data to and from the PC that I connected it to. I found the connections to be rock solid with never a glitch and saw no loss in speed compared to an adapter built onto a motherboard or installed in a PCIe slot on a desktop. I even repeated my tests with the adapter plugged into a USB hub rather than directly into the computer and found no loss in performance or reliability. Finally, I tested on two other machines, and it worked flawlessly on every system. An adapter like this is something that every bag of computer tools should have. There are many thin laptops these days that have no Ethernet adapter, so you'll be glad to have one of these on hand when you suddenly need an Ethernet connection. This is also a super easy way to upgrade to a faster adapter on a desktop without having to open up the system and add an expansion card. It's also super easy to remove if you are just using it temporarily or for testing. At the price, I would definitely consider this over a 1Gbps adapter especially since it is fully compatible with slower speed networks such as 1Gbps. ... show more
