I have been converting my home to 2.5 Gbps ethernet. Very few people need that speed in the home, and I am no exception. Computer performance is my passion, now that I am too old for the dragstrip. Most modern thin-and-light laptops do not have an ethernet adapter. If you want to connect to Ethernet, you need a docking station, a monitor with Ethernet, or a USB-to-Ethernet adapter like this one. Those other solutions are often expensive. This one is cheap. On both Windows 10, Windows 11 and Linux, no driver installation is required. Plug it in and it works. This 2.5 Gbps USB-C to Ethernet adapter is attractive, appears well built, and looks like it will last for years to come. If there is a problem, Anker has an excellent support team. My experience is that their people answer the phone, listen carefully, and try hard to help. In one case they immediately shipped me a replacement unit. I tested this adapter extensively on my new 2.5 Gbps ethernet network. When connected to USB-C it transferred full speed at 2.5 Gbps in both directions at once, with only a few errors. TCP/IP is designed to crank up the speed until it gets errors, so a low error rate is normal under most conditions. The only way I know to avoid all errors is to turn on Ethernet flow control, which this device does not support. In any case, Ethernet flow control often causes more problems than it corrects. Guessing I might be able crank up the speed on an older laptop, I tried using a USB-A to USB-C adapter with this unit. It connected and talked fine on the network, but it was running only about 600 Mbps. You could use it this way in a pinch, but the adapter is not designed for this service. I'm just pleased that it worked at all. I tried hard to find a flaw in this unit, and could not find one. It operates perfectly when used as directed with a USB-C connection. I highly recommend it for use with any laptop that supports USB-C. There are better solutions for laptops that have only USB-A connectors, and for desktop & tower computers. Review: Works Perfectly Right Out Of The Package, Top Results, Apparently Not Currently Android Compatible - As once would expect with an Anker product it worked right out of the package with my Windows 11 laptop and I was able to do proper full speed tests for my new internet connection that would otherwise be constrained by the 1 Gbps port on my laptop. The adapter is based on a current and well supported RealTek chipset. I would recommend this to anyone running a Windows laptop that needs a 2.5 Gbps ethernet adapter and has a free USB-C interface. One caveat for this adapter, while is works perfectly with Windows 10 and 11, it was absolutely not recognized by my recent, high-end Samsung Galaxy Android phone. The older Anker 1Gbps adapter that this is replacing is recognized and automatically configured by the latest, updated version of Android on my phone, but this 2.5 Gbps adapter is not. My Galaxy just stared at me like I hadn't plugged anything into it. Apparently this Realtek chipset isn't useable in current Android. Hopefully this will change as I'd like to have the ability to be able to use this with my Android phone when WiFi isn't available but a wired connection is. ## Features - The Anker Advantage: Join the 55 million+ powered by our leading technology. - High-Speed Internet: Connect to the internet via your USB-C device and enjoy high-speed, reliable internet up to 2.5 Gbps.

In my case, I used a static IP address. MacOS Sequoia recognized the adapter without any additional requirements, and once configured, it worked as expected, providing efficient and fast connectivity. I am very satisfied with this device and must add that its construction is solid, and the cable is also very good quality. ## Frequently Bought Together - Anker USB C to Ethernet Adapter,USB Type-C to 2.5 Gbps Ethernet LAN Network Adapter ,Aluminum Portable,for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air 2018 and Later, iPad Pro 2018 and Later, XPS - Anker USB C Adapter (2 Pack),High-Speed Data Transfer, USB-C to USB 3.0 Female Adapter for MacBook Pro 2020, iPad Pro 2020, Samsung Notebook 9, Dell XPS and More Type C Devices - Anker USB C to HDMI Adapter (4K@60Hz), 310 USB-C Adapter (4K HDMI), for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Pixelbook, XPS, and More (Compatible with Thunderbolt 3 ports) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/360434756-anker-usb-c-to-ethernet-adapter](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/360434756-anker-usb-c-to-ethernet-adapter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
