Amazon Basics Aluminum USB-C to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, Portable, Fast Network, Grey, 2.07 x 0.81 x 0.6 inches

I recently tried the Amazon Basics Aluminum USB‑C to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, and I’m really impressed with how effortless it was to use. I plugged it into my laptop, and it worked right out of the box with no setup or drivers required. Windows instantly recognized it and gave me a fast, stable connection — exactly what you want from an Ethernet adapter. I’ve also used other adapters in the past (like a TP‑Link USB 3.0 to Gigabit RJ45), and while that one has its place, this Amazon Basics USB‑C version felt more solid and well‑built — noticeably heavier and sturdier than many similar adapters. The aluminum build inspires confidence and feels like it’ll hold up over time. I didn’t need it full‑time yet, but its performance was very fast and reliable, exactly what you want when you need a wired internet connection without fuss. Whether you’re in a location with slow Wi‑Fi, working in an office, or just need a dependable connection for video calls or downloads, this adapter gets the job done. No drivers, no troubleshooting, just plug and go — and that’s worth a lot in convenience. I’ll definitely keep it on hand for future use. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a simple, dependable Ethernet solution for their USB‑C device.

I'm totally blind. I got this to see if it would work with my Samsung Galaxy S series phones to use a direct Ethernet connection so I don't need to use Wi-Fi. I figured if it work, it would be faster then my 2.4G Wi-Fi network. Yes 5G Wi-Fi would be better; But I've found you can't have a mixed network of 2.4G and 5G when running some smart speakers being when you have them setup as a group! They must all be on the same Wi-Fi band in order for things to sink correctly in order to play through all of them. But anyway! I receive this. I plugged in a cable to my Router and the adaptor. Then I check to insure I didn't need to update anything on the phone. I did fin d a Ethernet option in the Setting of my Samsung Galaxy S23 plus! but it was grayed out. I then turned on Airplane mode to ensure all the Radios in the phone got turned off. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular connection. I then plugged in the adaptor to my phone. After about 5 seconds, the Ethernet option in the setting became available. I went into this to see what was all under it and if I needed to change anything. Everything looked good. It was set to pick up an IP from the router. I next went into the Play store to update the phone installed programs. I had 30 plus program to update. After about 3 or so have them udpate! I went into the Notification shade to ensure Wi-Fi was still off and it was. I also checked to ensure the cellular was still disabled. So at this point, it was truely using the Ethernet connection. Went back to the Play store and waited for all the installed programs to finish updating. Then I went and did the same for the Galaxy Store. Both worked with the Ethernet connection. I next tried going to the Software udpate to update the phones OS and that failed. That only will work with Wi-Fi and will not take Advantage of a Ethernet connection. But that isn't the falt of the adaptor. I also tried seeing if Wi-Fi calling would work over an Ethernet connection. That also didn't work. But again, no falt of the adaptor. I did the same test with a S21 and S10E Galaxy phone and neither one of them have cellular service to start with and the Ethernet connection also worked. I also found when you connect your phone with this adaptor to the Ethernet! It automatically disables Wi-Fi. At least when I was downloading the Phone OS Software over Wi-Fi and plugged in the cable, the download stopped. So if you want a way to connect your Samsung Galaxy S series phone that is secure to your home network and you don't want to use Wi-Fi this is the way to do it. Keeping in mind most things will work but a few items will not. But that isn't the falt of the adaptor. And I didn't need to do anything extra with the phone in order to use the Adaptor. This worked better then I was guessing it would. No I wasn't using Ethernet Tethering either. That was turned off. That is an different option.

I’ve used mine for a couple years now, and it still works great! I have a laptop with a corrupted WiFi adapter drive and nothing I’ve done has been able to fix it, but using this, I’m able to hook it up directly to my Ethernet, so it makes it non issue, and this is so short that it’s super easy to pack up and take wherever I need to.

On my Samsung S26 Ultra, I had MASSIVE issues on wifi. Google and capped off a setting at 256 Kbps. I found that setting and fixed that but I initially thought it was the Xfinity Router. It wasn't the router as I found out both my Omen Laptop and my iPhone were getting 1 Gbps speeds, at least the iPhone was. After massive time trouble shooting with AI and trying everything, including making a dedicated wifi name, trying to get 6E, I gave up. I wasn't getting more than 720 Mbps from my wifi. So today just after giving up, my Amazon basics adapter arrived. I plugged it in and saw it works and started to shoot a video review and show the difference from the lame wifi speed and with the new adapter. But what happened is after hooking up the adapter and using it, it UNLOCKED that hidden speed cap in the Android phone! During the video, I saw the wifi was now at 1.2 or 1.3 Gbps. Somehow, someway, the phones internal cap got cleared and unlocked the full potential. I'd post that video I was shooting but in the middle of the video when I saw the massive speed, I stopped and said..."why is it so d---- fast now?" Then the video stops. This device works but if your have fast WIFI and it won't get over 700 or so Mbps on an ANDROID, this device after being used, unlocked that bottleneck somehow on my Samsung S26 Ultra.

They work ok. Good price. I have several of these as I am regularly working in IDF, MDF's amd machine rooms and need direct wired access to some machines and sometimes leave them behind. My biggest complaint is some ethernet cable locking clips get stuck and its a nightmare to get them out. You need a small flathead tweaker screwdriver to get it out. My biggest compliment is the size. It fits great in my pocket when I am running around

The Amazon Basics Aluminum USB 3.1 Ethernet Adapter does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Build quality is solid, with a sturdy aluminum housing that feels durable enough for travel. I’ve used it on multiple Windows 11 laptops, and it’s worked flawlessly every time — plug it in and it just works, no fuss or driver issues. I mainly use it for work when traveling or at trade shows where a reliable physical network connection is needed, and it’s been dependable in those situations. Stable connection, no dropouts, and consistent performance. Simple, reliable, and well made. A great value if you need wired Ethernet on a modern laptop.

This worked very well for transferring pictures and files from thumb drives to my phone. I haven’t tried it the other way around. I don’t know if that will work. Haven’t had time to play with it

Design is super clean. Feels durable. Doesn’t seem to be getting hot at all. Speed is excellent (900+Mbps up/down). Connection quality seems stable for the few hours I’ve used it. Can confirm it IS compatible with Linux (Ubuntu 24.04), however, for Linux users see the second part of my review. For my Linux users, this thing DOES work directly out of the box. However, you download speeds will be a measley 200/300 Mbps. You need to look in your manual that comes with the device and look for the drivers section. You need to go to the website and download the driver.tar file. Extract the tar file. Then open the readme.txt file and follow the directions to run the make & install commands in the terminal. This will install the drivers you need to get 1Gpbs up/down. Once I installed the drivers and ran a speed test, I went for 200-300Mbps to the mid 900’s up/down. I hope this helps my Linux folks out there.
