UGREEN USB to Ethernet Adapter 2.5Gb, Ethernet Adapter, Aluminum, USB 3.0 to RJ45 Computer Network Internet LAN Dongle for Laptop, Compatible for MacBook Air/Pro, XPS, Windows, macOS

i'm middle aged, so when i got an offer to upgrade my internet to 2.5g speed, i had no idea i'd need an adapter. thank goodness they make tech like this for people like me, simple plug-and-play devices that require no tech skills or smarts. just MAKE SURE you have a 3.0 USB port. most modern PCs and laptops have them (after 2018-2019ish), but make sure before buying. the port should say 3.0 above or next to it, or you can google your PC model and find out whether you have 3.0 ports. trust me, i experimented plugging this adapter into a regular USB port, and it didn't work--no 2.5g download speed. but i put it in the 3.0 port, and presto, my speed was something like 2.7, even a little faster than advertised. it's a solid little unit, well built, some folks say you need to update its drivers but i didn't have to, it worked right out of the box (whew). it connected right away and i believe it's compatible with all Windows devices that have a 3.0 USB port. whoever dreams up and makes these handy little USB devices for those of us who don't upgrade our hardware every couple of months, i give you my heartfelt middle-aged thanks.

Quality and works well

Been using this for a few months now with zero issues! Works as advertised. In my option it’s a worthy purchase!

I usually don't write reviews but this adapter is great, i recently made the move to 2.5g in my nextwork and im running unifi gear and proxmox for my home lab. This was super easy to setup with linux. I now have the freedom of 2.5g from my pc to my home lab and my NAS. Great price as well! It was very compatible with my small homelab pc and offered super fast speeds!

I recently upgraded my network to 2gb but my machine only supported 1gbps. It truly is "plug and play" but you NEED to plug it in to a USB 3.0 port (blue) I have an available USB 3.10 eXtensible Host Controller gen.1 (much faster at 5gbps) but it would only give me 200mbps max. After I plugged it in to a regular 3.0 port it was giving me at least 2gbps. Very happy with this product. Edit: I've had this for over a week and it's now somewhat intermittent. I checked my speeds this morning and I was only getting 400mbps. I unplugged it then back in and then it shot up to 1.6gbps but then gradually sank down to 150mbps. I'll keep troubleshooting but it ultimately may not work due to the inconsistency.

Having used this adapter for 2.5Gbps transfers for a while it seems like decent value for the money and features an aluminum shell. It has a nice silicone wire sheath with cable relief on either end. My only gripe was that the native Windows 11 drivers were less than ideal but installing the latest from Realtek fixed that! For those that want to know the chipset is Realtek RTL8156BG

Works great, using with my synology nas with modified drivers. Worked with my pc just plug it in and it was good.

If you have a 2.5Gb/s network in your home, this adapter is great. I have MacMinis, both 2012, and 2018, and this was a simple plug and play. One Mac needed a reboot to change its network connection, and then, all set. Just a note - If moving files from SSD to SSD, you can hit close to the 2.5GB/s (Close to 300MB/s), but spinning drives will be slower. For most of us, 2.5Gb/s network is the sweet spot in price and performance.

Went from 800-900mb up/down, to 1.8-2gb up/down

Arrived in perfect condition definitely a good option for a laptop that supports windows 11 and also works on Mac

Been a few months of non-stop usage, works fine.

Works flawlessly on Windows 11 and Kubuntu 24.04 without having to look for any drivers! Clocks in at 2,5 Gbit as advertised just make sure that your router / switch also supports it! Some routers will state they have one 2,5 Gbit RJ45 socket and they usually mean the WAN connection to your internet supplier - NOT your LAN. Double check this before purchasing ;)
