Belkin 60W USB-C to Ethernet + Charge Adapter Cable w/ Gigabit Ethernet Port for High-Speed Network Access - Compatible with USB-C Devices Including MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, & Windows Laptops - Black

My laptop does not have an ethernet port so I had tried a couple of other usb gigabit adapters with very disappointing results. My ethernet speeds were actually slower than my WIFI. I tried drivers, adapter settings, cables, router ports etc to no avail. My other connected devices easily reached over 200mbps, but not my laptop. Decided to try once more and this one did the trick. Put it in and immediately got well over 200mbps.

Working better than expected. Using for connecting my wireless router to my backup android phone for home internet. The passthrough power allows the phone to be charged.

Works great to add an Ethernet port to my HD Chromecast with Google TV.I actually use this in conjunction with a PoE splitter, which splits an incoming Ethernet with PoE into USB power and Ethernet without PoE, then plug both those things into this adapter, which merges them back together again as a USB device. Kinda silly but it works!

I use my Quest3 VR headset in a different room from my gaming PC & read a lot of articles about people buying dedicated routers to do AirLink streaming but I thought something like this would be better & I was (mostly) right!.If you have ethernet in different rooms, this adapter makes it very easy to hook up your headset & stream in super high quality for hours. Depending on your home layout, you can even run your own ethernet cable from room to room (ethernet has a limit of approx. 300ft!).The biggest catch I found was the USBC from the adapter to the headset. Long story short, the shorter the cable the better. I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong with the software or PC when it was the USBC cable the whole time. I decided to velcro this adapter to the side of my headset & run 20ft USBC power & ethernet cables right up my back to the headset. Works like a charm with the highest resolution settings! I plan to use a cable sleeve to bundle the 2 cables together.Using Virtual Desktop & my 3080TI, I am able to run 200 bitrate, godlike, & 120fps.If you are doing this, you should set up a OpenSpeedTest server on your gaming PC to ensure you're getting solid speeds. There can be a lot of unique variables in each person's environment, but if you're set up well, you should get over 900mbps speeds from the headset to your computer.IMHO, this is the best option when it comes to VR streaming. It is certainly the most bang for your buck!

Worked as designed. No problems

**********************UPDATED REVIEW***********************This adapter was barely OK due to some design problems--short cord pulling down hard on USB-C port, significant heat build-up threatening electronics, and the RJ45 port not grabbing/locking protected ethernet cable tips which then fall out of the port and cut devices' internet connection. For these reasons alone, we planned to return the adapter. But we wanted to check to see if, like other adapters, either basic function--internet pass-through or power pass-through--changed in the week since we bought the adapter.We're disappointed that we can no longer get online with the adapter despite using the same phone settings as before and the same RJ45 cable directly from the same modem. Who manufactures these adapters? We've bought over a dozen for our machines and to date only ONE works. Save yourself the frustration. But from our experience, we don't know what adapter/hub is reliable.**********************ORIGINAL REVIEW***********************This allows us to hard-connect our USB-C Macbook to the internet while simultaneously charging. Most other docks we've tried ONLY do one or the other. So we're glad we can download updates or other large files without worrying we'll burn through our battery before the software transfer is complete.The big problem we've discovered with this hub is that it doesn't accommodate protected RJ45 ethernet cables. These are the ones with the little rubber hood over the tab you depress to insert/take out the cable from its port. These protective tabs are there to prevent the tabs from snagging on anything and then breaking off. That happened to us often before we invested in the protected cables. But this hub's port is designed to require a free tab to CLICK and lock securely into place. Otherwise, your internet connection is disrupted with the slightest motion as the end of the cable slips OUT of the port.We can't figure out why the design team made this port this way. Seems you have to accept the risk of ripping off the connection tab to keep it securely in place. Or use a protected tab and risk the cable easily slipping out of the port and cutting the internet connection. Why exchange reliability risks of wireless networks for unnecessary stability risks of wired networks?Another issue you should know--the short connection cable (you see this in the ad, granted) causes the bulky port to place dangerous strain on the USB-C port. Either the port or the hub's male USB-C insert over time is likely to fail. This could easily be solved by using a long cable (1m?) between the hub and the USB-C insert so the mass of the hub could rest stably on a desk. Many of us no longer leave our laptops on the table. Instead, we raise them up to eye level for more comfortable working, meaning anything attached to a port hangs down. Again, why would a design team not foresee this obvious structural flaw?A problem we guess is inevitable with a lot of these plastic hubs is that they get remarkably hot. And this small hub is no exception. It gets so hot it's uncomfortable to hold. If you were going to use this for hours on end, you might want to invest in a fan JUST for the hub. We don't know how all this extra heat affects the longevity of the hub, but when we spoke to Apple Support about the heat another hub was putting out, they told us that heat is the enemy of compact laptops (that don't have big fans and lots of space to move air around). So we don't feel comfortable using this hub for more than a few minutes...Given the three problems above, we're not sure we'll keep this hub. There are just too many major future failure points to justify investing in such a critical component (if you need a hard-connection instead of wifi to do serious work for many hours at a time).We're still on the hunt for a solid USB-C hub that allows, minimally, power and hard-internet pass-through without getting very hot. To end on a positive note about this port, though, it does allow at least 100 Mbps internet pass-through and standard 29W (Macbook) power pass-through, and it connects to the laptop without any fuss (plug-N-play). But minus 3-stars for the product's design flaws.

So I bought this for my Galaxy Tab A tablet, the WiFi seems really slow and I wanted faster net. When I first bought this I was using the Power Adapter that my Tablet came with. But I was only getting about .13 amps which was not enough to keep my tablet charged. After a bit I thought it's the charger. I thought the charger was not putting out enough amps, so I had a 3 amp charger and replaced the 1.55 amp charger that my tablet came with. This still did not increase the amps, the so again I looked at it and it hit me like a ton of bricks I had been using QC (Quick Charge) and I need PD (Power Delivery). PD allows the adapter to pull more power then quick charge does. I needed a PD charger and a Type C to Type C cable that supports PD. Once I got this now I get .5 amps which is enough to keep the tablet charged. This is maximum amount of amperage that this device allows (60w = .5 amps or 500 mA) If you need more Cable Matters make an Ethernet + Power Adapter that give 100 watts of power. You will need a PD adapter that puts out at least 60w for the Belkin and 100 watts for the Cable Matters. You will need a cable that supports PD 100 watts or better. Hope this help anyone that has this adapter.
