    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.

    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!!!!

    Helps with Wireless Modem Setup

    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.

    Best way to add a 2nd ethernet port to a Mac Mini

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This is a plug and play product. I was going to update my MacBook's OS using the WIFI connection. The download started and it estimated 1 to 2 days to complete. I put in this to connect to my ethernet cable. The download completed within 8 minutes.

    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?

    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.

    The internet speed improves clearly when I'm connected to the Internet via Ethernet and this adapter since there are 5 laptops/desktops and several mobile devices are online. If you have an option to use ethernet connection, I would recommend you to give it a try. I have a solid connection.

    This along with an ethernet cable allowed me to transfer everything from my 90 year old mother's MacBook Pro to her new Air. We didnt have to worry about what was on the old laptop, leave them for a few days to have it done or pay the $100 charge. I worked effortlessly and fast.

    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.
