Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 thunderbolt-to-gigabite internet adapter is easy to install. No driver needed, just plug in and it's ready to be used. The speed is fast too. I love it.

This works exactly as expected. It is reasonable small, and light. The only bad thing is that for the price, you would expect it to come with a nifty cover for the ports.

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.

works as expected, though I do not appreciate having to buy an adapter for something so rudimentary. sadly, there was not an Insignia version of this.

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.

This adapter allows me to hard wire my laptop for a faster connection. A good work around for the new MacBooks without ethernet ports built in.

Apple and other sites need to do a better job at distinguishing between Thunderbolt vs Thunderbolt 3.0 (USB-C). What I needed was USB-C and bought this one inadvertently. Normally I don't order online and pickup, but due to COVID-19 I did and the description/picture make it confusing. Having said all this, I do have a 2016 Macbook with the original Thunderbolt and this works great for that model.

All Mac products are very picky with the type of adapter and brand used, so if its not an Apple brand, it may or may not work. This adapter will do its job. 4 stars for working, but much too expensive for something so simple. Apple premium

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.

this does exactly what it says it does. Very useful.

Love the Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adaptor. It's small and very easy to use. Can attach to my router with an internet cable very easily.

Thunderbolt and Ethernet go hand in hand! This adapter is fast, reliable, and WORKS! No need for any software to be installed!

Great adaptor to provide 1GB wired connection for macbook. Not overly expensive, however there are now also USB-3.0 GB adaptors also available.

Needed a ethernet port for my older MacBook Pro. I have gigabit ethernet and wanted to boost my speed.

Worked like a charm until USB-C took it's place. Never had an issue.

Price is the same anywhere. It's an Apple product that let's you cord your Macbook. It's easy and requires no set-up. Just plug it in, put the Ethernet cord in and it works. I have a 100MPS internet set-up with Time Warner, using their Wifi box. The speed is the same with or without the Wifi. So I was a little disappointed that my speed didn't increase but that's more on the Macbook Wifi being so awesome. It's small so I can just keep it in my bad for times when I might need it.

Small, compact, and easy to use. This fits in any sleeve or carrying case or even in your pocket. Simple to set up, and you are ready to go.

Apple - Thunderbolt-to-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - White Needed to get my internet up to speed with a new cable. This worked perfectly!

I have used other adaptors not made by apple and they were not as reliable. This one always works no matter what. Spend the extra money.
