Awesome idea. I have been using a USB hub with Ethernet adapter. This meant I also had to carry a Ethernet cable. Now with this I just need it and a USBC cable. I like it so much I bought another just in case. This makes my job so much easier and my bag less cluttered. Read more

Plug and play! Tested these with iperf to see them reach the full 1gbps. Be sure to use a USB 3.0 cable! Read more

I am using a Samsung cell phone as a USB modem on a laptop and here is what this little piece did for me: 1) Higher speeds 2) Free’d up a much-needed USB port 3) (and this is no small thing) Eliminated the Samsung USB drivers that keep polluting the driver store On another note: aluminum body, solid, quality build. RJ45 protective cap is a nice touch - I’ve added a type-c protective plug (second pic) and permanently added it to my “let’s-go” backpack. Read more

When traveling, I don’t typically carry an ethernet cable around so this device comes in handy. Just be sure to pair it with a faster speed USB-C cable for best results. I tried this on an iPad Pro and found that I could readily and easily get an internet connection. I found the speeds acceptable for my needs as my requirements did not need the fastest speeds. The big convenience for me is now I can connect to the internet by using a standard USB-C cable that I typically carry and no longer need that extra cable. Read more

This seems to be okay. I like the concept that it relies on the much thinner USB-C cable (not included) over the much bulkier Ethernet cable. Of course that limits you on distance to effectively just be a replacement for a patch cable. I ran a few tests with different devices and couldn’t get a data rate of more than around 300 mbps, about a third of the advertised gigabit speed. It’s still nice that it’s small and useable on most modern operating systems without special drivers. This makes it a great portable option. I would consider it if those factors are more important to you than speed. Read more

The Hagibis USB C to ethernet adaptor is a great way to connect to the ethernet. It's a backwards take on the standard design but it really works well. The standard USB C to ethernet adaptors have a dongle fits in your computer's USB port that ends in a female ethernet adaptor, which allows you to connect via an ethernet cable from your computer to the ethernet port the wall or into router. This device connects directly to your ethernet plug or device and converts the devices ethernet port to USB C. The advantage here is clear--most of us travel with a variety of USB cables but don't necessarily carry an ethernet cable. If you have this device any capable USB C data cable will be able to work with an ethernet port. The device works easy and well. The connection to my cable modem worked flawlessly. When traveling it worked with a USB wall port. The device is plug and play, so there is no software to install. The connections were easy to make and data transmission was fast. (NOTE: they rate this up to 1 gbps. Note, however, that this may be limited by the speed of your computer's native USB port, the speed rating of your USB C cable, and the speed of the ethernet coming out of the wall or of your device.) The only downside that I see here is that it is all to easy to forget that you have this dongle installed on a device or in your hotel room, so you will need to be careful to remember to remove the dongle and not just remove your USB cable. All in all, this is a simple device that really does the trick. Recommended. Read more

Works well, exactly what I needed as it was easier to fit a few USB-C cables in my bag and then carry around adapters like this to “change” them rather than carry many cables around. Couldn’t find anything else quite like this that was similar Read more
