Great adapter
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I was surprised that is was as easy as plug and play. No software to download, no internet options to change, literally plug it in and it automatically connects hardwired to the internet. I was shocked. Very fast too. I prefer a wired connection and my new laptop didn’t have a Ethernet plug. Glad this worked out great

So Finally
||Posted .After messing around for a couple of weeks with other USB-C to Gigabit ethernet adapters, including high-end powered and unpowered hubs, I finally have a simple, plug and play, ethernet adapter for my 2018 MacBook Pro that just works. Yes, I plugged it in. And it worked. There were no "drivers" to download and install, no step-by-step network configurations, no tech troubleshooting and waiting for a support response because my Macbook could not "recognize' the other adapters. None of that. I plugged this Insignia adapter in and it IMMEDIATELY connected my MacBook Pro computer to my router via DHCP. I couldn't be happier after all the frustration I experienced with the other, much more expensive, adapters. The Apple tech at Best Buy was kind enough to check online to make sure this adapter wouldn't need a driver and he was on point. He was able to tell me that Apple itself doesn't make one of these specific adapters themselves, which is a bit weird, but also very helpful information. This is an excellent USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. It just works. Right out of the box.

Works great! Easy to carry!
||Posted .While almost everything can be done with WiFi today, I suddenly needed an Ethernet port on my MacBook Pro to diagnose a wired network installation. I picked up one of these Insignia adapters and it fit the bill perfectly. Plug-and-play in macOS and in Windows, perfectly reliable, and it fits easily in a pocket or any computer sleeve or bag. I even torture tested it with some heavy sustained file transfers and it continued to provide reliable, full-speed performance, though it can get just a little warm to the touch with continued heavy use. Do note that this adapter does have link and traffic LEDs and there's no way to disable them. For my use case this was ideal, but if you don't want any blinking lights you may want to look at another brand.
