Acer USB C to Ethernet Adapter, Plug and Play RJ45 to Type C Network Dongle(Thunderbolt 3/4 Compatible), 1Gbps Aluminum USB-C LAN Adapter for Laptop, MacBook Pro/Air, iPad Pro, iPhone 15/16, Dell XPS

I have a minicomputer with WIFI. Recently the WIFI has been very spotty. It was the computer, not my internet service. other wireless devices nearby worked fine. I bought this little USB-C adapter, plugged it into my minicomputer, and now I have my 1GB internet speed again. great product!

Excellent product!

A great addition to anyone who needs an RJ for network. Most newer laptops do not have RJ anymore. This solves that.

Sorry about the long review! If you just need the short version, this is a good consideration for remedying issues with Sonos ERA speakers. The build quality is (at best) just average but the cable seems to be doing what it’s supposed to. For reference, I have an Eero network along with a Linksys 16-port switch. Wireless internet speeds in the same room as the router average 550Mbps (on a 500Mbps plan). Speeds throughout the rest of the house (getting signal from the Eero extenders) average 300-400Mbps. All the other devices in my home work flawlessly over Wi-Fi. But even with fairly consistent speeds of at least 300Mbps, my Sonos speakers would have all sorts of issues. They may play well for an hour and then just cut off completely. Or they may start to play well and one of the speakers will randomly mute from time to time. Other times, the speakers just wouldn't connect via AirPlay or they would play out-of-sync. And sometimes I would have to 'jump start' my ERA 300's by first playing music through my Arc. Super fun stuff. Out of frustration, I've contacted Sonos too many times. They usually just suggest factory resetting the speakers or updating my network settings via the app (basically the things I've done even before calling them). They also offered repair or replacement options but I really didn't want to send the speakers in. As their Wi-Fi performance just seems lackluster, I was so close to buying several of their Combo Adapters. And then I came across a forum post mentioning these. It appears the updated RTL8153B chip is what makes this adapter (and the OEM Sonos Combo Adapter) work with the ERA 100 and ERA 300 USB-C Line-In ports. The Realtek 8153 chipset correctly triggers Sonos' logic to disable the Atheros wireless radio. Ethernet adapters without the 8153 chipsets may link up correctly but, since they don't disable the wireless radio, the speaker is allowed to ignore the wired connection and jump back to wireless. Thus allowing for the same poor performance. After connecting the cable, my Eero App showed the new wired connections for the speakers. I started playing music via AirPlay and waited for any one of the common issues I was used to but non of them occurred. I couldn't believe I was listening to uninterrupted music. I’ll definitely update this with longevity issues. But if you're having any of the connectivity issues I was, this is a good adapter for consideration.

Modern laptops usually omit the RJ-45 ethernet connector to decrease case height, so a USB ethernet dongle becomes the preferred (only?) way to connect to a wired network. This adapter provides full-rate wired ethernet connectivity to my M3 MacBook. It has been a reliable performer and done everything I've asked it to do, under MacOS, Linux, and Windows. It's pretty much a no-brainer, with two observations: (1) The adapter gets way hotter than I would have thought. The little metal case, slightly finned to resemble a heat sink, could use some better cooling. Not sure if this will affect the expected life span. (2) For whatever reason, the USB-C connector on this adapter is UNUSUALLY TIGHT, so that it actually takes some strength to attach and remove it from a laptop. This has decreased a bit with repeated use, but it's still worth mentioning. Keeping those details in mind, if you need wired connectivity for a modern laptop, this is a fine purchase.

this was absolutely plug and play on my chrome book. no issues. MUCH faster than the wifi.

This is a piece of junk! It does not work. The USB C does not even fit into my laptop. Do not purchase. I found a Belkin one that works perfectly.

I do a lot of network troubleshooting and having this is a must! More laptops have removed ethernet ports to make them thinner and thinner. So connecting directly to a switch or router with this to a USB-C port on a laptop or Apple device works well. The cord seems thick and sturdy and can endure. I like the housing which is vented to dissipate any heat. The LED's are nice to see as well to confirm connectivity. Another affordable tool from Acer!

特に問題なく使えています。以前、Acerさんのパソコンを使用していたことがあるので、似た製品が多い中信用して購入しました。AndroidスマートフォンからWi-Fiルーターへ、イーサネットテザリング用が目的でしたが特に問題なく使えています。

Works :)

I bought another, an all-in-one. the USB side of it worked fine but the Ethernet speed was unacceptable. This one however, although only for Ethernet works very well. Very happy with the speed up and down.

As advertised, allowed me to plug Cat6 directly into my usb-c only laptop and add extra down and upload speed not available on wi-fi. Did a speed test and was able to get 247MB/s out of my 250MB/s broadband connection. Squeezing every last MB of performance for when it really matters …. gaming :-)

Fait le job, parfait
