Top quality product. Another winner from Anker.

Very elegant looking, lightweight adapter with gorgeous tiny lights (although nowhere in the booklet it describes what they mean, but you will see solid red and green and blinking blue when everything works perfectly). Of course the most important thing is this adapter works perfectly. I am using it with Macbook Pro and its flawless. Testing on an empty network (Ubiquity switch) with my fileserver it is pretty consistent at 114 MB/s with 117 MB/s peak when talking to my fileserver. Pretty good performance.

Super fast & reliable. Just make sure to install the drivers as instructed here.

Dell saw fit to deck out my 17" Inspiron bought in December 2017 with all the latest, like AC WiFi, USB 3.1 and C. Yet it only came with built-in 100mb/s wired Ethernet. It gets really annoying when you need to move large files under less than reliable WiFi and see it either fail due to errors or top out at 11 megabytes per second of copy speed when plugged in. 10 gigabyte files which my 2011 Mac moves with ease are a choking hazard on my brand-spanking-new Windows machine. Anker to the rescue! If you follow the instructions posted here to install the network drivers, it works exactly as promised. I'm seeing exactly 10x the performance that I was getting with the built-in Ethernet. Windows copy shows networks speeds of 110-115 megabytes/sec when copying to and from my Synology NAS. For the price, there's no better performance boost if you want the extra speed and reliability of a wired connection.

Anker is the brand you want. Mac Users will need a driver!

I own a 2018 MacBook Pro. In addition, I have an incredible Fios Internet plan that brings 1GB wired speed into my home. I can sit and stream my Internet over WiFi, but I only get about half the speed I am paying for. So, what I need is a way to connect my ethernet connection directly into my MacBook Pro. I was a bit at odds about selecting this Anker Ethernet adapter. The choice of the adapter was easy...it's an Anker. They are one of the most trusted electronic companies in existence. I will take an Anker product over just about any other brand. The problem? All these Amazon reviews said that an additional driver would be needed to drive this adapter to its potential. I wasn't too happy about that and I almost went with another brand because I just didn't want to have to locate and install a driver. Brand won over inconvenience. So, when I got the adapter I put it to the test. Would it deliver 1GB speeds without the driver? Well, the initial test showed that I was only getting 360 Mbps directly connected to my ethernet network. I then downloaded and installed the driver. On the next test, I was over 920 Mbps. So, yes, the driver is absolutely needed. Finding the driver was not difficult. Just do an Internet search for Realtek USB Ethernet Driver/Installer. I would have provided a link but sometimes they are removed from reviews. The build quality of this adapter is exceptional. It has a USB-C plug so it plugs right into current MacBook Pro models and any device with such an input connection. As someone who has been a veteran purchaser of many Anker products, I cannot recommend this particular product (or any of their products) more highly. Sometimes it's worth paying more for a name that you trust over saving money on a generic brand.

Solid performer

Recently purchased a Chuwi tablet computer and detachable keyboard, but needed a dongle to attach a network cable if necessary for my work with computers and network components. Snapped this up during a recent Anker sale. Exceeds my expectations; this is solidly built with an aluminum case, small activity LEDs, and a USB connection that fits snuggly into the C-type plugs. With the absence of network plugs in new laptops and tablets, this is a welcome item to add to my setup. Definitely recommending these to clients with MacBook Airs and other new models of laptops without network connections other than wireless.

Looks good too, matching the brushed aluminum look of Apple

This works perfectly to use a wired ethernet connection for the new MacBook Pro which has only the USB Type-C ports. High quality build. Looks good too, matching the brushed aluminum look of Apple. I like the feature of three separate tiny LEDs that indicate receiving power, ethernet connection, and actively passing data.

Works as intended

Wireless just doesn't cut it when you have to upload 200GB worth of client photos to a website. I got one of these and placed it next to my router so that way I could plug it in and let it rock. I've only got 40Mbps upload speed, but I get 1Gb down (Comcast). With this network adapter, I get appx 800Mbps down (limitation of my computer system). It works reliably and with both my windows 10 machine and the macbook pro. We liked the value and stability so much, we ordered 10 more for my IT dept to do troubleshooting with.

Latest Mac Driver

Like the other reviewer said, if you are using Mac 10.13.x High Sierra, you will need to download the latest driver. Mine worked without downloading, but even though I had Gigabit, it didn't go past 230mbps. After downloading the latest driver, and applying it in network setting (the installer gives you instruction), I was able to get the full Gigabit speed, with the lights on the adapter working. I googled for "realtek usb c ethernet driver mac" and downloaded the "MAC OS 10.6 to 10.13" version 1.0.17 driver from the realtek site. In the realtek site, the page hierarchy is "HOME > Downloads > Communications Network ICs > Network Interface Controllers > 10/100/1000M Gigabit Ethernet > USB 3.0 > Software"

Another great ANKER product - worked perfectly for Asus Zen Book

I have an Asus Zen Book that lacks an ethernet port. I purchased this adapter to plug into the USB-C 3.1 port that I do have. I plugged it in, heard the familiar sound of a new device being recognized, plugged my live ethernet cable in from my WiFi gateway, and within seconds, I had a wired connection. No issues whatsoever. I am running Windows 10, 64 bit, latest version. I did not need to download any driver or other software. I'm not sure what went wrong for those who said this adapter did not work for them using Windows 10. Build quality of this adapter is very nice. Solid aluminum construction (not plastic) and also has three LEDs to indicate power, ethernet connection, and internet activity. Another solid product from ANKER.

It works - well, yes and no, on my MacBook Pro 2018

I like Anker and bought many of their cables etc and really want to like this product. It does plug and work, however it cannot reach the full speed of wired network (only around 250, my network max is 500) Tried installing the drivers from Realtek but it is still unstable after that - sometimes it can reach full speed but once unplug and plug in it slows down again The instructions they give during the driver installation is also not accurate, e.g. there is no ‘configure’ menu associated with the network system preference The drivers provided on the Anker website is confusing and one of them caused bluetooth not working, have to use the uninstaller, be cautious Wish to use wired connection for speed and stability however it cannot deliver fully at this moment Update 13 Sept: 2 additional stars are added for the famous, excellent Anker customer service, they reached out quickly and promptly responded to my issues. Looking forward to buy more of their products!

Works instantly on Android (8.0)!!

Unbelievably, I plugged this device into my Google Pixel 2 XL (Android 8.0) and started trying to figure out how to enable it, configure it and all that and I didn't see anything pop up. After a couple seconds pause, trying to figure out where to start and I realized that it's already working, right out of the box! All I did was plug it in and disable my other data connections and it was working flawlessly! I'm stoked; this is going to allow me to use my travel router in hotels by authenticating over ethernet, using my phone, and cloning this device's MAC address on the travel router.
