Review: Excellent USB network adapter. - Bought a few of those over time as I upgraded my ISP connection speed to 2.5Gbps. Very conveniently comes with USB-A/C adapter and had no failures over the couple of years. The network connection is stable and as fast as advertised when measured with iperf3. Good deal for the money as well.
Review: Wide compatibility. Great product! - I used this on a QNAP TS-453a NAS (plugged in via USB 3.0 port) and it was easily detected! It has a RealTek (RTK8156) chipset. Connectivity was stable at 2.5Gbps (no disconnects!). Build is plastic. It's slightly warm to the touch as expected but not hot. The only thing I disliked about it was the fact that it makes it a little hard to unplug the Ethernet cable (I used 3 different ones). Worth noting - It uses a USB C and a detachable USB A adapter for versatility I gave it 5 stars mainly because I was happy with the functionality and outcome of this mini project.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does the job at a reasonable price
*by A***N on August 26, 2025*

Full disclosure, I used this for a very specific use case. I recently upgraded my entire home network to 2.5 GBe and while all of my computers already had NICs that could handle that, my Synology DS920+ didn't. For the uninitiated, this NAS is actually a great little package that has most of the features of its bigger counterparts, with the exception of native 2.5 GBe support (neither on-device nor through expansion). This adapter was on the community sourced list of 2.5 GBe adapters that would work for the upgrade. I can confirm that it works. It takes a little bit of setup on the device, but once you enable it and install the driver, it works perfectly. I'm actually kinda glad since this probably ends up costing a fraction of what it would be if Synology offered a first party solution. This dongle is small enough to tuck away behind the NAS so that it's completely out of sight and I'm able to saturate it fully with around 200 MB/s transfer speeds, which is definitely an upgrade from the 90 MB/s that I'm used to seeing. I did briefly also test this on my M1 Macbook Pro (since the onboard wifi card is actually kinda terrible) and can confirm that I was able to get full throughput on that device as well.
