Pros & Cons
Pros
Nice brushed aluminum construction. Good construction.
Great adaptor for the lg gram. Gives gigabit speeds on a 100' ethernet cable. Great value for the money. Great for lg gram.
The 3 leds healp to have the connection status. I love the status leds which was a nice touch. Even on many blogs this item was mentionned on the top 3. I like the lights, they show connection and actual traffic. Good indicator lights to monitor data ... Read More

Highlights
Quality
Fit for purpose device with a great build quality.
Easy to use, high efficiency, beautiful, and good placed led indicators
Then it started getting faulty and the signal would drop once in a while, this become more frequent over the course of a month.
Do yourself a favor and pitch the junk adapter that comes with the gram and get one on these.
Price
Great devices for a very reasonable price.
Product was good value and worked great
The product cost is high, the rest product is good.
Got the speeds i pay for, 850mbps.
Shipping
Order arrived fast and it was easy to use!
Finally got full internet speed :) good purchase!
I contacted the seller and they immediately sent me a new one, which works great.
Competitiveness
I also connected it to a win10 ultrabook and a galaxy s10+ which both worked flawlessly.
I can confirm that it works with a google pixel 2 and it works well.
After a bad experience with an adapter from a not very popular brand, i decided to get this one as an replacement.
It has a realtek chip so compatibility shouldn’t be an issue with most systems on the market but i won’t recommend using it with esxi.
