Got 2. The startech. And walla. us1gc308. No dice. I have two more pieces on my wishlist list.

The usb-c connector has a positive tight fit into the port on the computer so does not wiggle or become disconnected accidentally.

Price

Not expensive and worked great and kept me up and running till i was able to replace the wireless chip.

Princess impression: this usb adapter is great and reasonably priced

Without a doubt, it's the best $25 i've ever spent on any kind of computer equipment ever.

Its a low price point, very small and portable, so its an easy way to provide ethernet connection to a device that does not have ports.

Well worth the few extra dollars compared to similar-looking adapters.

Even though both are using realtek chipset.
