UGREEN USB to Ethernet Adapter 2.5Gb, Ethernet Adapter, Aluminum, USB 3.0 to RJ45 Computer Network Internet LAN Dongle for Laptop, Compatible for MacBook Air/Pro, XPS, Windows, macOS

i'm middle aged, so when i got an offer to upgrade my internet to 2.5g speed, i had no idea i'd need an adapter. thank goodness they make tech like this for people like me, simple plug-and-play devices that require no tech skills or smarts. just MAKE SURE you have a 3.0 USB port. most modern PCs and laptops have them (after 2018-2019ish), but make sure before buying. the port should say 3.0 above or next to it, or you can google your PC model and find out whether you have 3.0 ports. trust me, i experimented plugging this adapter into a regular USB port, and it didn't work--no 2.5g download speed. but i put it in the 3.0 port, and presto, my speed was something like 2.7, even a little faster than advertised. it's a solid little unit, well built, some folks say you need to update its drivers but i didn't have to, it worked right out of the box (whew). it connected right away and i believe it's compatible with all Windows devices that have a 3.0 USB port. whoever dreams up and makes these handy little USB devices for those of us who don't upgrade our hardware every couple of months, i give you my heartfelt middle-aged thanks.

Works well on Debian 12 after config file edit. My network adaptor and switch upgrade produced a nice speed boost, moving files is twice as fast.

Worked right out of the box as advertised on my Lenovo laptop!

Transfers data quickly and works well. Pair with a USB-A to USB-C superspeed adapter to connect phones and tablets directly to the wired network and experience internet speeds you’d never believe. I’m using this with a Ryzen 5700X3D on a AsRock B550 PG 4/AC in place of the built-in gig ethernet adapter and it’s made a huge difference in network speeds. It also doesn’t get hot.

They work great except on my windows machine. On my windows machine it starts off at 2.5gbps for about 4-8 seconds then slows down to 1gbps. On my mac and linux machines they are a rock solid 2.5gbps

I originally planned to use a PCIe slot for a 2.5 gig NIC card as an upgrade to the 1 gig LAN port on my micro ATX motherboard. But the video card I installed occupies too much space to use either of the two remaining slots. This dongle solved my problem, and allowed me to utilize the full speed of my internet connection. I plugged it into a USB 3.0 jack on the back of my mini tower. (while plugged into the faster USB 3.2, it caused problems with 'sleep' function.) I have not noticed any significant increase in usage of my 6 core CPU since installing this speedy adapter. It certifiably provides 2.5 gigs while running cool. (Its aluminum case is barely warm to the touch after streaming multiple busy tabs and videos for several hours). I hope it lives a long, productive life.

Works as advertised. I have tried other brands of usb 2.5g adapters that do not work. But this one worked plug and play on windows 11.

Get above gig speeds with my MacBook but my beelink s12 pro will not do more than 500mbps (+/- 10mbps). I am running windows on it and with the default Ethernet I can get close to 1gbps. Tried all ports and same thing, 500mbps. But I can't blame this device because I can get close to my full speed on mac (but my ISP is only 1.5gbps so not sure if it'll hit the full 2.5 but I am sure it would get close.)

Easy to install and download driver from Ugreen website as in instruction manual. It was able to attain almost 2.5 GBPS with CAT 5 cable.

Arrived in perfect condition definitely a good option for a laptop that supports windows 11 and also works on Mac

Works flawlessly on Windows 11 and Kubuntu 24.04 without having to look for any drivers! Clocks in at 2,5 Gbit as advertised just make sure that your router / switch also supports it! Some routers will state they have one 2,5 Gbit RJ45 socket and they usually mean the WAN connection to your internet supplier - NOT your LAN. Double check this before purchasing ;)

Avevo bisogno di un dispositivo semplice, compatto e subito pronto all’uso per collegare direttamente il mio notebook al router, ottenendo una connessione stabile e ad alta velocità. Questo adattatore UGREEN 2.5G Ethernet USB 3.0 si è dimostrato fin da subito all’altezza delle aspettative. Plug and Play: davvero immediato Uno dei punti di forza principali è senza dubbio la facilità d’uso. Non è richiesta alcuna installazione manuale: basta collegarlo alla porta USB-A del notebook e in pochi secondi è già operativo. Su Windows 11 è stato subito riconosciuto dal sistema, senza alcun problema di compatibilità. Prestazioni e stabilità La velocità fino a 2.5 Gbps si percepisce, soprattutto se si ha una rete in grado di supportarla. La differenza rispetto a una classica porta Ethernet da 1 Gbps è sensibile, soprattutto in download e upload di file pesanti, videoconferenze, e streaming ad alta risoluzione. Per chi lavora da casa o gestisce file di grandi dimensioni, è un investimento intelligente. Design e materiali Il corpo in alluminio dà subito una sensazione di qualità e robustezza. Inoltre, il formato è molto compatto: facile da trasportare, non occupa spazio inutile e non appesantisce la borsa del portatile. Il cavo è ben isolato e la connessione solida, senza giochi o movimenti instabili. Compatibilità L’adattatore è compatibile con Windows, MacOS e diversi dispositivi dotati di porta USB-A. Anche in ambito lavorativo o in ufficio, può rivelarsi una soluzione pratica per migliorare la connettività senza dover installare nuove schede interne o cambiare router. L’UGREEN 2.5G Ethernet Adapter USB 3.0 è un accessorio che fa esattamente ciò che promette: veloce, stabile, compatto e facilissimo da usare. Per chi ha bisogno di collegarsi via cavo con prestazioni superiori al gigabit, è senza dubbio una scelta consigliata. Un piccolo grande strumento al servizio della produttività quotidiana. ⭐ Voto complessivo: 5 / 5
