L’Anker PowerExpand USB-C a Gigabit Ethernet 2.5 Gbps è un adattatore che fa esattamente quello che promette, e lo fa bene. Lo sto utilizzando su un NAS homemade e fa differenza rispetto alla connessione originale di 1 Gbps: la velocità è stabile e le latenze sono minime, perfetto per chi ha bisogno di prestazioni elevate per lavoro o gaming.Il design in alluminio è elegante e si abbina perfettamente ai dispositivi. È molto compatto e leggero, ideale da portare sempre con sé in borsa senza occupare spazio. Il cavo USB-C è di ottima qualità e il collegamento è immediato, senza bisogno di installare driver su Windows (sul mio NAS invece si).Dopo diversi test, la velocità di trasferimento si mantiene elevata e senza cali, sfruttando al meglio le reti da 2.5 Gbps. Un accessorio essenziale per chi lavora con file di grandi dimensioni, streaming ad alta qualità o semplicemente vuole la sicurezza di una connessione cablata veloce e affidabile.

I got this for my laptop that doesn't have a built-in ethernet port. It is relatively slim so doesn't add much bulk to the laptop that having an ethernet cable connected doesn't already do. It works well, consistently connects at full speed, which is pretty much all I could ask for from the device!

Funktioniert auf Anhieb, ist robust und im Gegensatz zum vorherigen No-Name Produkt hält auch das Netzwerkkabel wieder.Bin sehr zufrieden und kann es bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen

I bought this adapter because I am a performance nut. I have been converting my home to 2.5 Gbps ethernet. Very few people need that speed in the home, and I am no exception. Computer performance is my passion, now that I am too old for the dragstrip.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.

As once would expect with an Anker product it worked right out of the package with my Windows 11 laptop and I was able to do proper full speed tests for my new internet connection that would otherwise be constrained by the 1 Gbps port on my laptop. The adapter is based on a current and well supported RealTek chipset. I would recommend this to anyone running a Windows laptop that needs a 2.5 Gbps ethernet adapter and has a free USB-C interface.One caveat for this adapter, while is works perfectly with Windows 10 and 11, it was absolutely not recognized by my recent, high-end Samsung Galaxy Android phone. The older Anker 1Gbps adapter that this is replacing is recognized and automatically configured by the latest, updated version of Android on my phone, but this 2.5 Gbps adapter is not. My Galaxy just stared at me like I hadn't plugged anything into it. Apparently this Realtek chipset isn't useable in current Android. Hopefully this will change as I'd like to have the ability to be able to use this with my Android phone when WiFi isn't available but a wired connection is.

Way back when... Apple laptops had actual Ethernet ports, which made it easy to plug a network cable directly into the machine. Then, the port went the way of the dodo. I had a Retina MacBook Pro from 2012, which did away with the Ethernet port, and instead had a Thunderbolt 1 (Mini DisplayPort) port, which I plugged an adapter into for access to the network and the Internet.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.
