Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good cable, does its job, fast speeds and works great.

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

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.

The best ethernet adapter for a MacBook Pro. Just plug in a ethernet cable and you're all set.

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.

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

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

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

works perfectly. plug and play, and spectacular throughput since the CPU doesn't have load like it would a USB adapter. very handy!

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

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.

My MacBook Air did not have an standard ethernet port, but I already knew that I had found and used other Thunderbolt connector adapters and looked for this one to add to my collection. I use this to speed up my internet connection vs. wifi when I have the availability of internet via ethernet cable. I also use it to hard wire connect to my home network to help troubleshoot an internet out situation to diagnose whether he problem is coming from the cable modem or just the wifi router signal.

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.

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

Works great like most apple products. Simple setup

Not much else to say but that it works as it was intended for. No setup needed, just plug it in and it's good to go.

Works well and have had no problems connecting. Love using the ethernet because it is faster than the wifi at my school

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.
