A tongue in cheek buy.

The 2.5Gb speed capability meant it would handle my 1Gb LAN easily. IT ABSOLUTELY DOES.
I wanted it for a DISHTV A7070 Android Box because the LAN input was limited to 100Mb input.
The A7070 has 2 USB inputs and one of them is a USB3. The WIFI for this unit is OK but sometimes flaky. I changed to a wired LAN and although consistent with input limitations, was disappointed with the 100Mb connection restriction.
The Asustor LAN to USB3 adapter was superb and rock solid and consequentially allowed full LAN speed to be available to the A7070. All Apps on the A7070 now responded impressively to my Fibre Broadband and load speeds were now a pas...view more

Posh Ethernet adapter

This product is for you if you want an Ethernet adapter that will not just do the job, but also comes with aesthetics. Solid build, steel enclosure that doesn't feel "cheap". However, be mindful, if planning to carry the adapter around and use often "on the go", because of steel encasing, it weights quite a bit and will be pulling on your connector, which may rattle your USB port. Also, when used with USB-C to USB adapter, the device becomes bulky.

Powerful little adapter

Got this to connect my MacBook to ethernet instead of WiFi when I'm behind my desk. This powerful little adapter increased my upload and download speed considerably. Great that it's 2.5G for future-proofing.

Constant disconnections on MacOS and Win10

The max transfer speed I got with this adaptor is 272MB/s through my M1 MBP to a 10G ethernet network.
I was absolutely delighted at the low temperature of this adaptor after 10 minutes of file transfer. It was only about 2 degrees above ambient!
BUT... 12 minutes into the transfer the adapter crashed and will not recognise the network. The system still recognise the adapter, but it is unable to access the network.
I reconnected the adaptor and used it for light web browsing, but it still disconnected after roughly 20 minutes.
To rule out my equipment fault, I changed 3 different ethernet cables with ratings up to 10G. It still disconnected a...view more
