I have tested this with windows 11 and ubuntu 24.04 and 24.10, it even works with proxmox, and my asus router gtx-11000 recognize it, its very solid, i was kind of expecting it to generate a cpu spike but it was ok as i ramped up to 2.5gbps, it gets a bit warm but its nothing too much of the extraordinary

Used to add 2.5 gbe to an old Lenovo M920q that I'm using as a utility server on my home network. It's connected to a USB 3.1 port. Upon plugging it in, Windows 11 automatically installed some drivers that worked at a basic level, however file transfers would start at 2.5 gbe speeds and then decrease dramatically within a few moments. Once I installed the realtek drivers from UGREENs website (search the support page for 25052) -- which is what the instruction book recommends -- the adapter transferred 10gb test files at 2.5 gbe speeds without issues.Worked well and the price is right -- thanks!

Ich nutzen diesen Adapter für einen kleinen Homeserver. Der Server hatte nur einen Standard 1G Anschluss und durch diesen USB zu RJ45 2,5G hat der Server jetzt eine höhere Bandbreite im Netzwerk.Der Adapter wurde unter UnRaid (Linux) problemlos erkannt und konnte direkt benutz werden.

I have a couple of these that I got when I upgraded my network to 2.5Gbps. I am using one on my Plex server running on a mini PC and it gets great throughput for multiple streams of movies in 1080 or 4k. It was simple to install and just works. One thing you do have to remember, which I didn't realize at first, is that if you move it around to other PC's, the IP address follows it. I got confused by that before I realized it.

Ottimo prodotto, avevo necessita dopo aver completato l'upgrade della mia lan da 1Gb a 2,5gb di far andare il mio nas Qnap a 2,5Gb e con questo adattatore non ho avuto problemi , ho inserito ed e' stato subito riconosciuto dal sistema. La velocita si vede, il filo non e' "rigido" come un adattatore che avevo precedentemente comprato. Funziona alla grande senza spendere cifre eccessive. Consigliato !

I use this on my firewall device to feed my LAN. I run 2-3 machines at a time in this section, none of them have presented me any issues when I'm streaming hi-def video for work and up/down times are great for sending my deliverables.

I have a desktop PC with a 2.5Gb Ethernet and decided it was time that my LAN should also be operating at that speed. So that meant buying a corresponding switcher and bringing my not so old Windows 10 laptop (I bought in 2020) and my definitely old (but still kicking!) 2012 MacBook Pro "up to speed" with a pair of these adapters. This is my first experience with Ugreen products and I'm very satisfied with these adapters! These are nice looking, easy to handle and I was finally able to do file transfers at way higher speeds than when I had a 1Gb Ethernet LAN. One seemingly underappreciated feature is that the USB Type A connector is slim and unobtrusive, which is VERY handy on laptops where the USB ports are very close together, such as my MacBook!As much as I like this adapter (even the packaging is nice), I have the following quibbles:1. The documentation doesn't specify what *kind* of Ethernet cable you'll need in order to get the full 2.5Gbit/s speed. I happen to have incrementally upgraded to Cat5e and Cat6 cables over the years for my LAN setup, but can everyone say that they have?2. Although the documentation tells you where to download the driver you'll need, Ugreen's web site doesn't have *the latest* drivers. You're better off downloading them from Realtek's web site. And you should do this download BEFORE you connect this adapter to your network!These quibbles aside, I highly recommend this adapter for anyone that wants a quick, easy and inexpensive upgrade to their LAN speed and throughput.

EDIT (2024-09-07):After ordering a second adapter of this model and finding that one was also not working, I dug deeper and realized the USB ports I was plugging these adapters into is USB 3 Gen 2. After realizing this, I tried Gen 1 ports instead and noticed both adapters are working as specified.So, clearly these do not work with USB 3 Gen 2 ports; at least not in my personal experience. So, keep that in mind if you have a newer motherboard and are intending to use this adapter with those ports. And feel free to let me know if you have had a different experience.So, out of the four Ugreen USB adapters I've ordered (2 of these; 1 USB-c to Ethernet 2.5G; 1 USB-c to HDMI), only one of them was defective and needed to be returned (USB-c to HDMI). Hence, I have adjusted my review from 1-stars to 4-stars to reflect my recent discovery. I took off 1 star due to Ugreen not clearly stating that this adapter is USB 3 Gen 1 only, which would provide clarification for those purchasing this for a newer motherboard.---ORIGINAL REVIEW:This company's products are hit or miss. They work great when they work, but good luck playing their lottery. I've ordered two adapters from them in the past (one USB-C to HDMI and a USB 3.0 to Ethernet) and neither adapter worked. And I know it's their adapter in both cases because if I swap them out for another brand's adapters everything works fine. The only reason I switched to UGREEN is because they claim to have faster speeds.This leads me to believe they are not properly testing their products before shipping them... or they need to hire better QC personnel. The USB-C to HDMI adapter at least partially worked, but the sound was all staticky and cutting in and out. This USB 3.0 to Ethernet doesn't work at all. I get no network connection or signal. None.Their ethernet cables work great, so I'll give them credit there.I'm ordering a third adapter to give them one more chance, but if that doesn't work, it's strike three and I'll stick to the other company I alluded to above.
