Works as it should
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Cat 5 adapter works exactly as expected and has been very reliable for my needs. The setup was quick and easy — just plug it in and you’re ready to go. Connection speed is stable and I haven’t experienced any drops or interruptions. For the price, it’s a solid value and does the job well. I would recommend it to anyone needing a simple, affordable Ethernet solution for their laptop or desktop.

Durable plug and play for Switch
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plug and play for my switch, just what I needed. Over 100 hours logged already, at this price, is well worth it. Don't go with a cheap Amazon option, they won't last like this one

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great! I'm saving this for when my other port is full, cuz I have to use Ethernet (no wifi at my cabin) - so I've got two of these, one to fit each port. I can swap them out, depending on what else I have to plug in.

Excellent adapter
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have one laptop that is always used home at desk and recently it was upgraded from W10 to W11… what a mistake… wifi card driver keeps crashing the system… well… turned off the wifi card and bought this little adapter… works like a charm, speeds are excellent and the fact it added 1 more wire to the desk setup is no factor. Would buy it again

It Might Work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Best Buy Essentials USB-C to Ethernet Adapter made my Switch connection more stable and slightly faster than Wi-Fi. The speed gain isn’t huge, which may be a limitation of the Switch itself, but setup was easy and it works reliably for casual gaming.

Exactly What We Needed
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son's school Chromebook continues to have an issue with its WiFi. It'll randomly not be able to connect and so my son can't continue his homework. Since the Chromebook doesn't have an Ethernet port, this was the perfect accessory. We’ve had no issues and it’s worked great.

Easy setup and fast connection on my system.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Ethernet "card" in my desktop quit working. I bought this USB to Ethernet adapter to keep connected. Works just as fast as the original connection (I am using Powerline (Ethernet over ac wiring) so I am very pleased. Pretty much plug and play setup. I think I had to use Windows control panel to connect to new network, but I was up and running in about 5 minutes start to finish. Very satisfied.

Good Adapter for Ethernet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was having problems with my wireless signal and wanted to bypass the wireless to see if the problem was the modem or router. Spectrum analyzed their signal to my house and said all was fine. I had no computer with a ethernet plug so I purchased this to test the signal. I plugged it in to the computer, connected the ethernet cable and it worked great. I got a good signal so I bought a new router and all is well and everything is working fine again.
