Solid, Well‑Built Adapter with Excellent Performance
I bought this adapter for my M1 MacBook Air so I could properly test the speeds on my new 2Gb internet service. During installation, my old cheap USB‑C Ethernet adapter kept capping out at 1Gb, and even the tech suggested the adapter was the bottleneck.
After he left, I ordered this UGREEN model. I’ve had great luck with their products before and it did not disappoint. It has a solid, heavier feel with what seems like a metal casing, and it worked instantly. macOS recognized it right away with no drivers needed. I simply turned off Wi‑Fi, plugged it in, connected the Ethernet cable, and I was online immediately.
My very first speed test hit right at 2Gb, and it’s been consistently fast and stable ever since. I also haven’t noticed any heat issues at all.
Overall, a fantastic upgrade and absolutely worth it if you need true multi‑gig speeds on a Mac.
