Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good product. The team member knew what iI was looking for and helped me find it.

I returned this item because my ethernet connector didn't seam to sit firmly in the adaptor. I never heard that "click" when I inserted it and it pulled out easily.

Simple fact it did not work. I don't know if it was my router or not. I wish it included more instructions on how to do this. Also installing the driver if it doesn't automatically do it Because in troubleshooting i don't think it installed.

Very displeased with this product. Purchased one initially about a year ago and it worked at first, but then just recently stopped working. I tried multiple computers on multiple ethernet ports with multiple cables. None of it worked. I took it back to Best Buy and they were kind enough to provide a replacement under the manufacturer's warranty. I took that one home and it did not work at all. Not even for a bit. I gave up and ordered an Amazon Basics adapter and it worked immediately.

Does the job, feels more solid than the generic brands.

After 3 months, my laptop couldn’t detect the adapter. It wasn’t worth the price. I bought one on Amazon for half the price, and it worked perfectly. Also, my desktop’s USB-C didn’t detect the original adapter when I first bought it, but the one I bought on Amazon did. So, that is something to think about if you plan on using it like that.

It’s just another adapter— I used when wireless network isn’t fast or reliable enough but also returned opted for more all in one.

Bought this item when I bought new iMac--turns out I did not need to use ethernet so I don't need this adapter. I will keep it in case I ever have a problem and need to hardwire the connection.

Not the best. The piece the Ethernet cord connects to is extremely loose and doesn’t hold it.I only got it for work but honestly I wouldn’t recommend no one to buy this.

This adapter works, but it only increased my download from about 12 mbps to 17 mbps. I got this USBC one because that is what the majority of electronics are moving towards. They sell a USB adapter as well (different product). Either way, the wired connection didn't make much of a difference for me. Maybe I have an outdated ethernet cord or poor internet. I've never had a problem with the wifi. However, like I said, this thing barely made a difference. I do think that if you need a wired connection, this will at least do it.

Constant disconnections. Tried a number of things to no avail. Bought it open box from best buy. Mistake but BB let me return it

It took a fee tries to get the adapter to work. Would not recognize until i have to resert the computer and modem

Does exactly what you’d expect. I do feel like it’s overpriced for what you’re getting, but no surprises.

Connected via a CAT6 cable from a 1 gig Ethernet switch from my internet router that should get 1 gig service as I pay for that, but this unit only receives 80-100 mbs.

I have the worst luck. Two failed on me. Tested with USB A and USB C to A hubs with ethernet on them and they work.

Was trying to connect to my router directly to configure it? Didnt work?

This adapter requires periodic hard cycle (physically unplug and re-plug) every computer restart! No software adapter resets work, only unplugging. Not only is this unacceptable for any application, but it is especially useless for my application, a home server.

Did not work very well. Kept disconnecting and had a bad connection. Had to purchase another one elsewhere.

Sometimes it would disconnect, other times it was fine but very inconsistent.

I have been wanting a USB-C to ethernet adapter for quite some time now for my Laptop. So when this Best Buy essentials USB-C to Ethernet Adapter came along I jumped on it. It is very well made and seems to have a high-quality build to it. It is very easy to use as well. All I did was plug it in to my Laptop and connect a Cat5E Ethernet Cabler to it and run it to one of my Mesh Sattelites and it works great. Gives good speeds and the stability of a wired connection without having to have an Ethernet Jack. It will even work with your phone as long as it has a USB-C jack on it. That is the great things about USB-C it does it all from one jack. You could even get a small hub that connects to USB-C that has a USB-C out and use it that way if you want. In my opinion this device seems to be higher quality than other brands I have seen on Amazon. I am impressed with the Best Buy essentials line so far. It seems to be a step up from the Insignia Brand even to me. I have been using this adapter for a while now and have not had any issues with it. So if you are looking for one I do not see any reason to pass up this Best Buy essentials option. It just works and works well. It seems like it will hold up well and last a long time too.
