Serious internet speed with this adapter
I got the USBC E5000 to get a faster more reliable wired connection for heavy file transfers, and it’s been rock solid. Setup was completely seamless on my Mac, providing a huge bump in speed over my old standard Ethernet dongle. As long as there’s a high speed router and fast USB port on your laptop, top tier speeds are seen. If your home network setup is ready for multi gigabit speeds, this adapter is a reliable investment that eliminates frustrating Wifi drops.
