Customer Ratings & Reviews

Needed this for a macbook air (2015). This macbook air is used as a tech laptop for working on various wireless & now wired networks. Needed the ability to plug into a hard wired network, purchased this & it works flawlessly! if you need hard wired ethernet for your macbook, this is the device to get!

My wifi went down and my daughter had to complete her homework assignments. After going into panic mode I booted up my Bestbuy app and whala they had just what we needed. Plugged this gadget into her Mac, connected the Ethernet cable and she was up and running. And Daddy is the HERO!!!!

I needed this for my work which takes me places where the wi-fi is not so good. Thus the ethernet cord has to be the source of connection to the network and the internet. This unit is compact and easy to carry in my work back pack. Plus the white color makes it easy to find in the pocket full of changer cords.

This device is a great tool to add gigabit LAN/internet speeds to a Mac laptop. Having a new MacBook Pro, I did have to use a TB2-to-TB3 adaptor so it wasn't a perfect solution, but that's not the product's flaw, just a flaw of time/newer hardware.

I bought this specifically because I wanted to turn an older Mac mini into a Sophos UTM / firewall appliance. It works perfectly and there is no discernible lag at all between this add-on port and the built-in port. Both operate at expected speeds for gigabit interfaces.

I bought a wireless modem for my new apartment and forgot to ask the old owner if they changed the modem settings. They did and even after going to the default, I still couldn't find the modem on my airport. By getting the ethernet adapter, I was able to straight line my Mac and modem and change the settings manually.

I'm only writing this review because Best Buy enticed me with extra reward points. What the he** am I supposed to write about a a wifi adapter? That it works? Yes, it works. You plug it in and the freakin thing works. Fantastic.

Works out of the box with no config needed in OS X. Adapter will get warm when transferring a lot of data through it, not sure if this is the fault of the Thunderbolt interface or not. Also, having to carry an adapter in the first place is slightly annoying. Other than that, it does the job as advertised.

Worked as promised. I buy Apple accessories when I can because they work. I don't personally like Apple computers but, I have one for work. This accessory works gread!

Great adapter. Gives full gigabit speed! Works as expected as long as you make sure what you are connecting this to uses the proper thunderbolt plug. Does not connect to usb c.

Great for mine but when I bought it I was actually looking at which MacBook to buy as the new one had just come out. I opted for the older version. This thunderbolt fits right into the computer without having to buy any additional pieces.

Was having trouble getting wifi in my room. I decided to get a thunderbolt to giga bit ether net connector and run a wire through the floor. It is working great. I am getting greta speeds without all buffering. Really pleased with the product!

Realized after I purchased Mac Air, it didn't have Ethernet connection. Sometimes I have problems with home wi-fi and wanted to be sure I could get internet. This device is just what the doctor ordered and gives the option for a wired Internet connection. A little pricey but what from Apple isn't?

Reliable & sturdy. Take care of the job. I have two since I lost ine rhen found it. It is compact in size.

Does just what I thought it would. Good to have, just in case its needed. I had some confusion when I loaded a software program and the geeks helped me out. No more trouble, but I feel safer knowing I can connect directly to the wifi network with this device. Not expensive and gives me peace of mind.

Wasn't happy to spend over $30 on this adapter but glad I did. upgraded my internet and decided to ditch the intermittent wifi connection issues. Now I get super-fast speeds on my macbook. Great investment.

i had another LAN adapter and was giving me hard time. i bought this adaptor and took 120GB backup on network drive in shortest time possible. just make sure using cat 5e or cat 6 cable and you'll experience a great speed. as usual great Apple quality product

Purchased to connect my MBP directly to the router and not through wifi and have not noticed any connection issues. I have previously used similar ethernet to USB connectors for a PC and this connection seems to provide greater speed throughput and more consistent connectivity.

Nothing much to say about this device here except that it works great and does what it is intended to do!

While wireless is great in airports, having a wire connection in an hotel room is so much faster. The Thunderbolt-to-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter has come in handy on some many occasions while traveling. The cost of this adapter was money well spent. I recommend this adapter for all MacBook Pro owners.
