Does exactly what it says on the box without a fuss
Instantly recognised and installed by windows 11 and is consistent with the 2.gb up/down speeds the usb to usb c adapter is an added bonus as the c port is at the rear of my laptop which means it's not sticking out the side of the laptop getting in the way, plug it in and off you go its that simple, Seems quite sturdy and well put together got a couple of other products from this company and touch wood they've all been spot in so far

Cable is exposed already
It's easy to set up, and the design is intuitive. It works... but the build quality is terrible. I've had it for barely two months, and the cable has already started to fray at the joints. I don't even take it out of my room! Just disappointing.EDIT: The item I received might be defective- however, the company offered to replace it when/if it does give out. Very assuring! I added a star for this.

Unreliable USB connection - there are better ones on the market!
TL;DR: Doesn't work well on anything I own.Positive: Linux, BSD and Windows all recognised the device. (Mostly - see details below.)Negative: I thought that I am smart. Why should I buy anything more expensive than this (£13 after a £2 off coupon), if it has the same Realtek network chip as any other 2.5Gbs USB adapters here?It must be the same. Boy, I was wrong.I ordered right away five of these. One was dead on arrival. The others gave me not much joy either.I wanted to create a fast, 2.5Gbs network at home between my Linux servers, Synology NAS and Windows desktop computer and maybe adding one to my OPNsense box too.Linux experience:A HP microserver happily works with one of these units. The connection is stable. Success.Two others (HPE EC200a) only recognised the units on their front USB3 connector. On the back the adapter was reseting itself constantly and the machine could not recognised it.Okay, let's connect it to the front, whatever. But here it was not stable either. After about 1-20 minutes, it disconnects from the host's and reset itself so you need to do a network reload, what is not too convenient on a server. (Just a hobby, home-lab).I tried to swap them around but no luck.Okay, let's blame the hardware. I grabbed other devices to try those with Linux and got the same experience with disconnection / device reset issues on two laptops and on a desktop computer.Interestingly it worked better if I connected it on USB-C, without it's adapter. Better, but still not stable.After all this trouble with all the other units, it is weird, why it works flawlessly on the HP microserver...On Synology, it worked just as bad as on Linux. It seemed to be okay, iperf3 showed satisfactory 2.35Gbs speeds, but after it disconnected from the device and you had to manually intervene to get it back online.Okay, let's see if it is any better on Windows. Yep, it looks okay on Windows, however, it showed a 2.5Gbs link speed, but it could never exceed 1Gbs. I checked if it is on USB3 and on the switch it shows 2.5Gbs too, but it was just too slow. To be fair, its replacement UGREEN version could not achieve more than 1.5Gbs on Windows either, what is weird as on the same machine, on Linux, it could go 2.35 with the UGREEN. The Windows speed issue was the same with a HP laptop and with a Dell desktop. Both of them modern machines. I tried updating the drivers, fiddling with the adapter settings etc, but I could never achieve the 2.35 Gbs speed what I could on Linux. Luckily Windows was not my priority, otherwise I would feel that the device let me down.On OPNsense: the device was recognised but it was not stable at all - similar troubles like on Linux. Plus, the speed was super low (250-350Mbs). It was true for the UGREEN version too. Here, I cannot rule out that the device maybe connected only on USB2 speed, even on a USB3 port.I sent back all of my units, except the one what is working on the HP micro.I replaced them with the UGREEN ones, what are normal USB only, not USB-C.(UGREEN USB Ethernet Adapter, 2.5Gbps High-Speed Network Adapter for Gaming, USB 3.2 Gen 1 RJ45 Gigabit LAN Adaptor, Compatible with Laptop, PC, Switch, Xbox, Router, Surface Pro, Steam Deckhttps://amzn.eu/d/7KaRugY)Those works as expected. No disconnection issues, good speeds (except on Windows).After all, I started to suspect that the USB controller chip must be a funny one on these. Anyway, do yourself a favour and get something better, like the UGREEN ones.
