Customer Ratings & Reviews

Especially for Macbook Air users, I highly recommend having one of these little guys. If you ever cannot access the Internet, it's a quick way to confirm whether or not your are just having WiFi issues. Also, for data intensive uploads or downloads in areas of sketchy WiFi, it's a great tool to have.

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.

Works as intended. For a college student moving from room to room when wi-fi isn’t available, this is a must. Works flawlessly when hooking up to the internet. Great item!!

The connector allows the macbook to connect to the network w/ an Ethernet cable. Working as expected.

This item was very useful for a hardwire set up for internet when I need to go online and don't want to risk the WiFi dropping. It is a bit pricey compared to what I wanted to spend but I haven't had any problems with it so far, so I'm overall happy with this item.

Does exactly what I needed it to do, a very good cable.

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.

Needed to connect my laptop to my system to transfer large photo files to my external hard drive. I live in the mountains and have good but not great wifi. It was taking awhile to transfer, now it takes no time at all.

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.

Have used this in the past. Great network dongle to use a mac laptop with your ethernet network.

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.

Had to get this accessory as my new MacBook doesn't have an ethernet port on-board. I wasn't happy about it, but had no choice for instances when WiFi is not fast enough. It works fine and is reasonable small although I wished it were even smaller considering that other machines have ethernet built-in.

The adapter is perfect to solve the problem of no network port on the MacBook Pro. Typical great Apple styling and performance. Typical Apple pricing but not a deal breaker. It's reassuring to know that it's made by the same company ensuring that it will work as expected.

Used this to connect my MacBook Pro directly to an gigabit Ethernet network. Works well, although sometimes the connection drops overnight, even when the laptop is not sleeping. Wish Apple would include Ethernet ports, as wifi is not always fast enough for some uses.

Does exactly what is intended to do (5 stars) but it's another Apple dongle to carry (-1).

Everybody knows that when you are buying an Apple product, it is well-made, practical, stylish, and very durable. This product is no exception to that. Amazing, works as intended, and I couldn't be happier playing online gams at a high speed or having a reliable fast connection.

Solid build, works great, extremely easy to use. A bit on the expensive side and could be designed better, but other then that, a great product. My only gripe is that the design makes it so it sticks about 3-4 inches out of the side, some type of L design or a more flexible cable would have made it more discrete.

my macbook doesnt have an ethernet port, and in my dorm at college we have to hard wire for internet access, no wireless. so I got this for my thunderbolt port. It does the job just plug and play. Its a little pricey but thats apple for you. There are knock offs that I work well also I feel sure

Cheap insurance to keep in a laptop bag for when WiFi is slow and you have access to wired Ethernet. I have two larger multipurpose ports but I end up using the small single purpose adapters (USB, network, HDMI).
