UGREEN USB C to Ethernet Adapter 2.5G, Ethernet Adapter Aluminum for Laptop

I bought this UGREEN USB-C to Ethernet adapter to get a more stable wired connection, and it does exactly what it promises. Plugged it straight into my USB-C port and it was instantly recognised — no drivers, no setup. I’m able to fully utilise my 1 Gbps broadband with consistent speeds and zero dropouts. Compared to Wi-Fi, latency is noticeably lower and the connection is much more stable, which makes a big difference for work calls, large downloads, and cloud syncing. Build quality is excellent: • Solid aluminium housing • Compact and lightweight • Cable feels durable and well-finished Tested on multiple devices and it’s been flawless so far — no overheating, no random disconnects. If you need reliable wired internet on a laptop or tablet that lacks an Ethernet port, this is a very safe buy. Pros: • Full 1 Gbps speed achieved • Very stable connection • Plug & play • Premium build quality Cons: • None so far Overall, a dependable, high-quality adapter that performs exactly as advertised. Highly recommended 👍

This usb c to ethernet adapter works exactly as advertised, I have used quite a few other brands and have found this to be one of the best so far, it works on the samsung a55 no problems the a55 max out at slower speeds around 350mbs but higher end devices will see your full speed, you will achieve full speed on devices with compatible usb c ports, such as higher end phones and tablets, laptops, it worked perfectly on a family members oneplus tablet and samsung tablet, full up and down speeds as advertised and minimal battery drain which great as other devices from other brands would drain the device even when not in use, and use up more power when doing the same thing which wasn't good at all, this works with a usb A adapter (also ugreen branded) which I had handy, no issues with a windows pc, build quality is excellent nice design. Usb c port fits well not too tight and not too loose. No heat issues after many hours of use and zero drop out or loss of connection so far, would have liked the cable to have been slightly longer but its flexibility makes up for it, a Usb A in adapter included would have also been nice addition to the package but I would still highly recommend this adapter and ugreen devices as they have yet to fail me to date. Just remember the faster the port the faster your speeds will go, some devices will max out at 350mbs others will give you the full 2400mbps with a decent quality ethernet cable of course. Ugreen does a slower speed model if thats all you need but for a few pounds more I would grab this if you can for the long term.

Good value 2.5GB network adapter for when you board supports lower. Works at advertised speeds easily transferring 280-290MB a second on my systems (about 2.37Gbps) even on my older pc's with an added USB C card Easy to plug in - no drivers to set it up for me on windows, easy to throw in a bag for portability - its tiny, nice cable.

A fantastic little dongle, especially for the money. It has worked flawlessly, and is compatible with any device with a USB-C port. I've tested across multiple devices tested (mini PC, laptop, NAS) and all have been brilliant. It's as simple as plugging it in, and away you go. Even at full load it doesn't get warm, and the case is well constructed metal, working as a natural passive heatsink. Going strong months later, and thanks to the updated BG variant of the RTL chip it runs cool and at line rate with no problems. I even put one of these on a mini Proxmox server (I know!), and it hasn't missed a beat. Beware competitors with the older B chip, which runs hot and has some connectivity issues.

Always great quality.

I have 4 of these adapters. They are one of the best options in delivering close to advertised speeds. However Ive come to realize that they have a very finite lifespan. If your computer is on and active on the network the 2.5 speeds and the heat it created degrades the PHY. For UGreen this time is 14-18 months (data from 3 unit failures) after which your speed will drop, packet loss starts accumulating and cannot connect at higher than 1gbps. 2.5 gets warm if your actually utilizing 2.5 speeds it can get hot. This dries out thermal pads, further heating up the PHY and at some point the degradation impacts performance. High CRC errors, packet loss, latency impact. Unplug it let it sit for 2-3 min plug it back in and it will connect at 2.5gbps. 10-30min later it will drop down to 1gbps and ~7% packets loss. The packet loss and tcp re-transmission also means you dont even have the 1gbps throughput. Its not a cable issue not a router port issue. BUT Ugreen support is great (hence 4 starts instead of 2) and they replaced one already but 1.5 year lifespan is just annoying.

I'm actually getting a slower speed going through the adaptor than connecting directly to my laptop. Fixed it by getting the updated driver manually.

Easy to connect, good connection speed on full fibre. Great for new thin laptops without Lan connector. Would recommend

El adaptador se ve genial, acabado en metal, bien construido, velocidad altísima de 2.5Gbps, el último chipset de Realtek para LAN... es una maravilla. Es compatible con Android, y no hace falta instalar nada, es plug and play. En Windows sí que hay que instalar los drivers de la página del fabricante, o también Windows Update los busca solo (no sé si la última versión). Funciona fenomenal, aunque claro está, para disfrutar de estas velocidades hay que conectarlo a un USB 3.0 o superior (lo digo especialmente por Android, que es muy común tener un móvil con USB 2.0). El precio es un pelín elevado, pero bueno, es un producto de calidad, es justo. Lo podrían haber hecho Plug and Play para Windows también, no sé si es posible.

Works well with MacBooks , iPads and iPhones 16 pro max. And it reaches 2.5 GB

Just as advertised works really well. Tested with macbook , iPhone 16 pro max and a ipad

Amazing
