Anker USB C to Ethernet Adapter,USB Type-C to 2.5 Gbps Ethernet LAN Network Adapter,Aluminum Portable,for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air 2018 and Later, iPad Pro 2018 and Later, XPS

I bought this adapter because I am a performance nut. I have been converting my home to 2.5 Gbps ethernet. Very few people need that speed in the home, and I am no exception. Computer performance is my passion, now that I am too old for the dragstrip. Most modern thin-and-light laptops do not have an ethernet adapter. If you want to connect to Ethernet, you need a docking station, a monitor with Ethernet, or a USB-to-Ethernet adapter like this one. Those other solutions are often expensive. This one is cheap. On both Windows 10, Windows 11 and Linux, no driver installation is required. Plug it in and it works. This 2.5 Gbps USB-C to Ethernet adapter is attractive, appears well built, and looks like it will last for years to come. If there is a problem, Anker has an excellent support team. My experience is that their people answer the phone, listen carefully, and try hard to help. In one case they immediately shipped me a replacement unit. I tested this adapter extensively on my new 2.5 Gbps ethernet network. When connected to USB-C it transferred full speed at 2.5 Gbps in both directions at once, with only a few errors. TCP/IP is designed to crank up the speed until it gets errors, so a low error rate is normal under most conditions. The only way I know to avoid all errors is to turn on Ethernet flow control, which this device does not support. In any case, Ethernet flow control often causes more problems than it corrects. Guessing I might be able crank up the speed on an older laptop, I tried using a USB-A to USB-C adapter with this unit. It connected and talked fine on the network, but it was running only about 600 Mbps. You could use it this way in a pinch, but the adapter is not designed for this service. I'm just pleased that it worked at all. I tried hard to find a flaw in this unit, and could not find one. It operates perfectly when used as directed with a USB-C connection. I highly recommend it for use with any laptop that supports USB-C. There are better solutions for laptops that have only USB-A connectors, and for desktop & tower computers.

As once would expect with an Anker product it worked right out of the package with my Windows 11 laptop and I was able to do proper full speed tests for my new internet connection that would otherwise be constrained by the 1 Gbps port on my laptop. The adapter is based on a current and well supported RealTek chipset. I would recommend this to anyone running a Windows laptop that needs a 2.5 Gbps ethernet adapter and has a free USB-C interface. One caveat for this adapter, while is works perfectly with Windows 10 and 11, it was absolutely not recognized by my recent, high-end Samsung Galaxy Android phone. The older Anker 1Gbps adapter that this is replacing is recognized and automatically configured by the latest, updated version of Android on my phone, but this 2.5 Gbps adapter is not. My Galaxy just stared at me like I hadn't plugged anything into it. Apparently this Realtek chipset isn't useable in current Android. Hopefully this will change as I'd like to have the ability to be able to use this with my Android phone when WiFi isn't available but a wired connection is.

Work perfect for my job if you guys like to increase your speed, get this one

(Updated from previous versions after working with Anker support and ultimately returning this for a refund.) I know this adapter gets some good reviews (which is exactly why I purchased it), but two different units I tried both had the same faulty issues so BUYER BEWARE. I experienced the same faulty behavior with connection speed with the original unit I purchased and the replacement unit Anker sent me. In the end I returned it for a full refund. This hardware should not be sold as compatible with Apple MacBooks since Anker provides no technical support on newer MacBooks running Apple silicon (e.g. M1 and newer CPUs). Anker support told me they can only provide support for the older Intel based Macs. I wish I knew this before I purchased it. This USB Ethernet adaptor will not reliably connect at speeds faster than 100 Mbps (100BASE-T) when used with a 1 GbE switch (1000BASE-T). I tried multiple known working Ethernet CAT-6 cables with multiple known working network switches, that all work without issues using other network adapters. I saw the same poor results with MacBook Air and Pro models (M1 and M2 CPUs) running macOS Sonoma (14.5) and Ventura (13.6) and a Dell Precision 5540 running Windows 11 and Linux 6.8.x (Ubuntu 22.04). Again, using other network adapters these systems all connect and operate successfully at 1 Gbps (1000BASE-T). I worked with Anker support on troubleshooting for just over a week before they agreed to send a replacement unit, which gratefully arrived in less than 24 hours. However, the replacement unit arrived and sadly it behaved as faulty as the original unit. Anker support was helpful in that they were able to get me a replacement quickly and ultimately a refund without issues. On the plus side, when used with a 10 GbE port, the adapter successfully and reliably establishes a 2.5 Gbps connection (2.5GBASE-T) and gets good throughput (2.35 Gbps measured via iperf3). I was taken aback that Anker support was unable to offer any troubleshooting or explanation and twice instructed me to download and install updated Windows drivers, even though I purchased this primarily for use with my M1 MacBook Pro.

I use this for connecting my computer or tablet to my router for upgrades. For security reasons, I do not use any router admin functions remotely so this adapter is perfect. No issues.

The adapter works fine with iPhones to get 2400Mbps down/up, but when using my S24 I max out around 400Mbps. Tried a different branded adapter and same problem, so it's not an issue with Anker or Ugreen but a limitation of the S24 series seemingly. Also tested on cheaper Android phones from different brands and the speed works fine, just an issue with Samsung not supporting fast ethernet speeds for some reason.

I’ve been using the Anker PowerExpand USB-C to 2.5 Gbps Ethernet Adapter for a few weeks now, and it’s been flawless. The speed boost from my regular Gigabit Ethernet is noticeable, especially for large file transfers and streaming high-res content without any lag. Setup was super easy—just plug and play with no driver headaches. The build quality feels solid and premium, and the compact design means it fits nicely with my laptop setup without adding bulk. I appreciate the stable, low-latency connection it provides, which makes it perfect for remote work, gaming, or any situation where Wi-Fi just doesn’t cut it. If you need a fast, reliable Ethernet adapter that supports 2.5 Gbps speeds, this Anker model is a great choice. Highly recommended.

Corresponde às expectativas.

Adaptateur usb c vers ethernet 2,5 Gbps pour un MacBook Air M1 connecté à la fibre optique 2 Gbps. Débit constaté de 1,8 Gbps constant/stable, en plug and play sans installation logicielle préalable. Bonne qualité d’assemblage et des matériaux. Je recommande

有線接続なのにWI-FI接続について評価せいとは此如何に？(WI-FI接続は未評価) 他社の3K未満なRealtek系2.5Gbpsはインストールに四苦八苦した挙げ句、2ヶ月ちょっとで相次いで御臨終を迎えました。 これはWindows10がさっくりと認識してくれたので、残るは耐久性ですね…。(暫定的に★3) Ankerの他製品(モバイルバッテリーとかケーブルとか)は問題無く使用出来ているのと、今のところ通信速度も2Gbps近く安定して出ているので評価も★5で良いと思います。(安定性★5)
