Good things can come in small packages
The Star-Tech USB- C Gigabit Network Adapter with USB Type A Port worked great for me. The small size of the adapter made it super portable and easy for use with my laptop. The blazing fast speeds of the gigabit network adapter gave my laptop full wired lan networking capabilities. Setup was a breeze and the device works flawlessly for me. The built-in USB port is a great addition and allowed even more accessibility for my laptop. Good things can come in small packages.
I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

Cheaply Made
On MacBook's the USB port works with no issue, no installation of drivers needed; however to get the NIC working you have to install drivers to get network connectivity.
The NIC port doesn't seem to have a clip or latch; so when network cables are plugged in they don't stay securely connected and come unplugged easily.
Overall just seems like this could have been designed better than it was.

USB-C to RJ34 Gigabit Network Adapter
Very simple and fast. This is truly plug and play. Plug it into your USB-C computer and you have a gigabit NIC. Don't have a USB-C port, then plug into a USB-A cable into this device.

Incompatible with MacOS Big Sur
After the MacOS update to Big Sur, this network adapter no longer works because it uses a legacy extension, which Apple deprecated. They had many months to update their drivers for Big Sur, but failed to. They also failed to update their product pages to give this information and status of any driver updates. If they update their drivers, functionally consider this review 5 stars -- I've been using the adapter for a couple of years without issue until now. Or maybe 3 stars given if there is ever a case like this in the future, there is little confidence they will be prepared nor provide information.
