    Makes a huge difference in download speeds

    Reviewed by - January 23, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new laptop is very slim and as part of design there is no Ethernet port. So I was using WiFi for internet connectivity. I have the Comcast 1GBps connectivity plan for my work, but due to connecting via WiFi never got speeds greater than 200 Mbps. This USB-C to Ethernet adapter solved my issues. See attached photo of speedtest results - As soon as I connected using Ethernet port, I got speeds close to 900 Mbps. Build quality also looks solid. Great product from Belkin.

    Fast and reliable!

    Reviewed by - January 20, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In today's world, accessories need to be small, reliable, and faster than ever. Belkin's USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is all three. Measuring in at just over 5 inches long, this adapter will not take up too much space in your laptop bag or briefcase. Connecting it to your laptop or PC is easy with the USB-C connection. No more fooling around with which way the adapter goes into the port. Attach a standard cat5 network cable to the other end of the adapter and voila, you have a gigabit hard wired network connection for your device. Just remember that in order to get those lighting fast gigabit speeds, you need to make sure the other end of the cat5 is plugged into a gigabit port on your router. Belkin definitely hit a home run with the USB-C to gigabit adapter. It is a definite ten in my book!

    Nice product

    Reviewed by - January 21, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been looking for a way to use my tablet on ethernet since my wifi isn't always reliable. I was able to connect my Android tablet to ethernet using this device and now I have download speeds reaching almost 800 Mbps. The build quality of this adapter seems very good. It's not flimsy and the cable seems strong. I like that it's black because it blends in with my other cables. I also tried it on my phone and it worked. A very versatile product that will come in handy quite a bit.

    A great backup network connector

    Reviewed by - January 31, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work in IT for a hospital, and sometimes (many times after hours) I get called to work on network servers. At times there are no open ethernet connections, and its not a good idea to unplug connections in a hospital environment. With this small gigabit-to-USB-C adapter I don't have to worry about finding an ethernet connection. It fits right in with with my patch cables and other assorted network connectors. It's a great addition.

    Go Faster

    Reviewed by - March 1, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great with my Macbook. Super easy just plug it in. Great for getting the internet speeds I am paying for on my laptop that has no ethernet port. Was able to download games from steam twice as fast and no issues during online gaming. No problems or dropped connections.

    Constant kernel panics on MacOS Sierra

    Reviewed by - June 9, 2017

    While this product does perform well when working, it is marred by the presence of continual (weekly) kernel panics, forced shutdowns and temporary internet slowdowns on MacOS Sierra, especially when connected to a USB-C hub or the LG 4K 21.5" displays. This has made this adapter very difficult to live with. Apple has confirmed that this is a driver problem with Belkin's drivers (even the latest Nov '16 ones), and not with MacOS, and therefore I recommend staying away from this product until the drivers are updated to prevent this. It is a widespread issue which can be found on message boards, etc. and is completely unacceptable.

    Plug and play - easy!

    Reviewed by - February 11, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a new MacBook Pro, which only has USB-C connections available, so I was happy to get this USB-C to Ethernet adapter. With previous ones that I've used, I've had to install software in order for it to be usable, but this one was just straight plug and play. Plug into USB-C port, plug in ethernet cable, and viola. I was connected, with no wait time. I did a speed test and got 346.4 Mbps download / 9.61 Mbps upload connected via ethernet vs 52.1 Mbps download / 8.18 Mbps upload connected via WiFi. I like that you can just plug and unplug without having to "disconnect" or "eject" it via software first. Love it!

    Works, but you have to set it up

    Reviewed by - December 31, 2019

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this to connect my 2017 MacBook Pro to LAN ethernet connection. There are no instructions included and the instructions online basically say to plug it in. What I had to do first was go to System Preferences -> Network, then at the bottom of the list of connections on the left click the '+' to add a connection, then select "Belkin USB-C LAN" from the Interface drop-down menu. Once I figured that out it works great.

    Great Network Adapter for the price

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - September 20, 2019

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good network adapter, perfect for the newer style USB ports. I recommend this if you have a new laptop or other device and do not want to tie up any of your standard USB ports. Easy to use other than needing a network cable, this device does not require any extra software or additional hardware.

    Strong Connection

    Reviewed by - February 10, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of my laptops does not have an ethernet port and is strictly wifi. There are several USB C ports on it. I got this little device and am amazed at how well it works. Who would have ever thought the internet through the USB would work? I get speeds much faster than the wifi connection just like on my desktop. It really is handy when I need more bandwidth. It's so tiny it doesn't take up any space on my desk and I can just throw it in the laptop bag for safekeeping. It's very well made and looks like I'll be getting much use out of it.
