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.
The Mini DisplayPort was not great, the cable too easily came unplugged, and it was a hassle to stay connected for any period of time.
Then, along came USB-C. This Anker adapter is excellent, the connection is secure and robust, and the adapter does not come unplugged, even after hours of use. The speed is very zippy.
I still wish that Apple laptops had actual Ethernet ports, but USB-C connectors are a tremendous improvement over Mini DisplayPort, and I highly recommend this adapter. It works very well.
I find it very hard to believe, but it is true. When my laptop (Dell Mobile Precision Workstation 7760) is plugged into the power brick -- the Anker USB C 2.5 Gbps Ethernet adapter refuses to connect to 2.5 Gbps Ethernet (it will connect and work with 1 Gbps, but that defeats the entire purpose of this adapter).
Not working means: I see is the Anker adapter Ethernet lights turn on for one second, then go off for three seconds, and then that cycle repeats -- endlessly. When I quickly run an "ipconfig" during that 'green led' time, the adapter obtains an IP address from the router. I have verified that the latest Realtek drivers are installed.
And the moment I unplug the power cord on my laptop (so laptop is now running on battery) -- all of a sudden the Anker adapter works and connects to 2.5 Gbps Ethernet. Pretty crazy.
I tried a competing brand product, Uni, and that adapter works for me. I can even see in Windows device manager that it is using the same Realtek driver.
Everything else is the same (laptop, cables, router, drivers, etc). The ONLY change is that the Anker adapter does not work and the Uni adapter does work.
Top reviews from other countries
First and foremost, the build quality of this adapter is exceptional. It feels solid and durable, ensuring longevity even with regular use. The USB-C connector fits snugly into my devices without any wobbling or accidental disconnects, providing a reliable connection every time. The adapter's compact design makes it highly portable, allowing me to carry it with me wherever I go.
Setting up the adapter was a breeze. It required no drivers or additional software installation on my Windows laptop, which was a relief. I simply connected the adapter to my USB-C port, and it was instantly recognized by my operating system. Within seconds, I was up and running with a stable Ethernet connection.
The performance of this adapter is truly remarkable. With support for 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, I experienced lightning-fast speeds when compared to traditional Gigabit Ethernet adapters. Whether I'm streaming high-definition videos, downloading large files, or engaging in video conferences, the Anker adapter ensures a smooth and uninterrupted experience. It has significantly reduced latency and improved overall network responsiveness.
Another standout feature of this adapter is its backward compatibility with older Ethernet standards. I appreciate that I can use it with my existing Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure, allowing me to seamlessly transition to higher speeds in the future without having to replace my entire network setup.
Anker's attention to detail is evident in the thoughtful design choices they've made. The adapter features a built-in LED indicator, which serves as a handy visual cue to confirm a successful connection. Furthermore, the adapter's compatibility with both Windows and macOS systems makes it versatile for a wide range of users.
In conclusion, I highly recommend the Anker USB C to 2.5 Gbps Ethernet Adapter, PowerExpand USB C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter to anyone in need of a reliable and speedy Ethernet solution for their USB-C devices. With its robust build quality, effortless setup process, and outstanding performance, it has become an indispensable tool in my day-to-day work. Anker continues to impress with their commitment to quality, and this adapter is no exception.
Delivered the next day, plugged it into the MacMini thunderbolt 3 port, Ethernet cable plugged in, lights working, fed into my 2.5Gb port of my network switch…. Checked the system details, did not identify the dongle! Did a data transfer speed check, no change!
Used my extensive IT knowledge, switched the MacMini off and on again, and the dongle was connected. Did another data speed check and was getting transfer speed to the server from the remote to a SATA HDD at around 210, which has doubled the speed, so I’m happy with that, and data speed to SSD is a lot quicker than previously.
The Anker did as was expected, good build quality, solid connection into ports and after a reboot, worked with minimal set up and provided a doubling of speed, which is what I wanted, so I would recommend this if you are in the market to increase network speed and I can confirm, works great on my MacMini M1, just reboot if not recognised!
Pour le 2,5 Gbit/s il faut acheter un module pour la FreeBox Delta donc à voir plus tard.
