Acer USB C to Ethernet Adapter, Plug and Play RJ45 to Type C Network Dongle

It's simple, yet perfect. My laptop doesn't have an Ethernet slot and I needed to attach Ethernet cord to my laptop to get the download speed I need, this solved my problem. Thank you.

Nicely designed, attractive, aluminum body with smoothly finished polycarbonate end caps/detailing. Adapter works as advertised. Better quality RJ45 clip connector than I was expecting for the price.

Modern laptops usually omit the RJ-45 ethernet connector to decrease case height, so a USB ethernet dongle becomes the preferred (only?) way to connect to a wired network. This adapter provides full-rate wired ethernet connectivity to my M3 MacBook. It has been a reliable performer and done everything I've asked it to do, under MacOS, Linux, and Windows. It's pretty much a no-brainer, with two observations: (1) The adapter gets way hotter than I would have thought. The little metal case, slightly finned to resemble a heat sink, could use some better cooling. Not sure if this will affect the expected life span. (2) For whatever reason, the USB-C connector on this adapter is UNUSUALLY TIGHT, so that it actually takes some strength to attach and remove it from a laptop. This has decreased a bit with repeated use, but it's still worth mentioning. Keeping those details in mind, if you need wired connectivity for a modern laptop, this is a fine purchase.

Sorry about the long review! If you just need the short version, this is a good consideration for remedying issues with Sonos ERA speakers. The build quality is (at best) just average but the cable seems to be doing what it’s supposed to. For reference, I have an Eero network along with a Linksys 16-port switch. Wireless internet speeds in the same room as the router average 550Mbps (on a 500Mbps plan). Speeds throughout the rest of the house (getting signal from the Eero extenders) average 300-400Mbps. All the other devices in my home work flawlessly over Wi-Fi. But even with fairly consistent speeds of at least 300Mbps, my Sonos speakers would have all sorts of issues. They may play well for an hour and then just cut off completely. Or they may start to play well and one of the speakers will randomly mute from time to time. Other times, the speakers just wouldn't connect via AirPlay or they would play out-of-sync. And sometimes I would have to 'jump start' my ERA 300's by first playing music through my Arc. Super fun stuff. Out of frustration, I've contacted Sonos too many times. They usually just suggest factory resetting the speakers or updating my network settings via the app (basically the things I've done even before calling them). They also offered repair or replacement options but I really didn't want to send the speakers in. As their Wi-Fi performance just seems lackluster, I was so close to buying several of their Combo Adapters. And then I came across a forum post mentioning these. It appears the updated RTL8153B chip is what makes this adapter (and the OEM Sonos Combo Adapter) work with the ERA 100 and ERA 300 USB-C Line-In ports. The Realtek 8153 chipset correctly triggers Sonos' logic to disable the Atheros wireless radio. Ethernet adapters without the 8153 chipsets may link up correctly but, since they don't disable the wireless radio, the speaker is allowed to ignore the wired connection and jump back to wireless. Thus allowing for the same poor performance. After connecting the cable, my Eero App showed the new wired connections for the speakers. I started playing music via AirPlay and waited for any one of the common issues I was used to but non of them occurred. I couldn't believe I was listening to uninterrupted music. I’ll definitely update this with longevity issues. But if you're having any of the connectivity issues I was, this is a good adapter for consideration.

Works well for Chrome books that don’t have Ethernet ports.

I have a minicomputer with WIFI. Recently the WIFI has been very spotty. It was the computer, not my internet service. other wireless devices nearby worked fine. I bought this little USB-C adapter, plugged it into my minicomputer, and now I have my 1GB internet speed again. great product!

Works fine; makes it easy to connect eternity cable to laptops without a jack.

I didn't have this very long until the wires started showing on both ends poorly made it got a little damp from being outside over night frow dew in air and never worked again wasted my money when I thought I was buying from a excellent product manufacturer

特に問題なく使えています。以前、Acerさんのパソコンを使用していたことがあるので、似た製品が多い中信用して購入しました。AndroidスマートフォンからWi-Fiルーターへ、イーサネットテザリング用が目的でしたが特に問題なく使えています。

Bought for my Lenovo. Works well.

Compatible with Sonos Era 100.

I bought another, an all-in-one. the USB side of it worked fine but the Ethernet speed was unacceptable. This one however, although only for Ethernet works very well. Very happy with the speed up and down.

Well I saw this USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter made by Acer, so I request to review the ones in Black, White and Pink Colours, but even though the results should be the same I tested them all separately on the following Devices (Windows 10, Windows 11, Nintendo Switch, Samsung Galaxy S9+, Apple iPad Air 4 and Linux running Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS), while this review will be very similar to the other colour versions of this product, I am supplying the speedtest results for Linux and Windows. Results (White Version): ● Windows 10 64bit PC and I got almost the full speed of our connection. ● 2 Windows 11 PC's and once again I got almost the full speed of our connection. ● Nintendo Switch worked rather well, didn't get anywhere near the full speed of our connection, but that is due to the hardware in the Nintendo Switch and not this product. ● Samsung Galaxy S9+ (android Phone) while the speeds was no where near the speed of our connection, this might also be due to my phones hardware due to I have never really got good speeds using a dongle. ● Apple iPad Air 4 Tablet, I was shocked how well this worked with this product, while it was not the full speed of our connection, it did do better than my phone. ● 2 Linux Servers running Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS I did see very similar speeds as I did on my Windows PC's. I have attached a speedtest results for when testing on Linux and Windows from the OOKLA Speedtest site. Overall the product is a built of a solid build quality, I did notice this device gets a bit warm while in heavy usage which was expected, so I would advise not to cover this device when connected and in use. While the Black and White versions of this product, in the tests run, the White version performed a tad bit better (few Mbits more), but might be down to when the tests was done, but also I do rather like the look of the White Version My overall rating for this is the full 5 stars due to it just worked, no hassle nothing.
