Works great! Easy to use…plug Ethernet in and device into the lightning plug and walla!

This worked great getting my MacBook Pro on the network. I needed something to interface to my LAN because the MacBook does not include a ethernet port. This plugged in and the Mac recognized it right away no problems. Provided gigabit connection and worked as designed. I would recommend to anyone.

I feel ancient in that I have a 2012 MBP but it’s still firing on all cylinders. I use it for live-streaming and there’s no need to rely on WiFi internet because that can be intermittent at times. This method of having the adapter allows me to still have two USB ports available. So far so good and hopefully I will have a laptop with USB-C in the near future.

Purchased to get a hi-speed and more reliable connection for my macbook pro when in my office. The connector works as advertised and I'm not at the mercy of the sometimes flakey and oversaturated wireless provided in our office building.

I love how easy it to use. I also love how it connects immediately to the internet once it is hooked up.

I wanted to connect my MacBook Pro gigabit networks at home and on the road. This dongle fits the bill. I just got back from a trip and needed a fast connection at a hotel. Once connected, I was able to transfer a large number of hi res photos in a flash.

Works great. However the Ethernet cord is so tight in the adapter that I almost couldn’t get it out.

This adapter works great for it's purpose. It's a bit hard to plug in and plug out the ethernet cable for this adapter at the beginning, though.

I've been using this for several weeks now with a MacBook Pro and no issues. It does run a little warm but so far hasn't effected the performance.

This adapter does what it says it does: lets you use wired ethernet with your MacBook. If that were the only aspect of this review, I'd give it a 5. Does what it says with no hassles. But there's two questions, both directed at Apple: 1) Why is this product even necessary? 2) Why does it cost $30? The rest of this review will mostly be a rant, just to warn. Other laptop makers have managed to make thin laptops with built-in ethernet ports, so it seems Apple isn't trying very hard or they just really want some extra cash. This thing can't cost more than $1 to make, $2 if you count the fancy box. Why is it $30? Oh, because Apple wants to sock to all us poor suckers who use "legacy connections." I have one of these in my office. I was out on a business trip and had to use a hardwire connection for a specialized purpose (connect to special hardware). I didn't have my adapter with me so I got to buy another one. Company paid for it but....$30 to forget an accessory that should never have been necessary? It's like Apple thinks we're back in the early 2000s video game era, where a the console alone wasn't enough. You needed to pony up $30 for a memory card, $50 for a second controller, and then another $40 for the component video cables if you wanted quality/HD output. Built-in hard drives and HDMI saved us there but Apple seems intent on regressing to the old days. So much for progress.

Does what it's meant to do and is very easy to set up. Hasn't let me down yet! I would recommend this item to anyone who wants a connection with Ethernet.

I needed a Thunderbolt to ethernet adapter while waiting for my router to ship and this worked perfectly. The simple clean design is a plus.

Great buy. Fast connection and very reliable. Keep up the awesome work Apple.

Works as expected. Been great to have in those occasions when wifi speeds aren't fast enough....like when doing backups to a NAS.

Probably works great but my Mac is USB-C Ragnarok. I'm sure a lot of people are making this same mistake based on the large number of open box items on the shelf. I should have paid closer attention but best buy's shelf had multiple products in one row.

Works just like expected. Easy to use, I did have to restart the laptop to use.

I bought this for my new Macbook Pro and needed a faster internet connection than what my wireless was doing. This works perfectly.

Works great for my audio extension. Highly revommend

This product is a must if you need to connect to ethernet. Didn’t give me any problems.

Works well. Does what it is meant to do. Slightly expensive as it is an apple product, but really the only thunderbolt to ethernet option out there.
