Hi there.

I'd been using a standard USB 2.0 to ethernet adapter and only got 1MBps max. My friend running windows laptop using same Lan port have 10MBps using the original lan port and cable plugged into his acer laptop. Is it worthy to buy this thunderbolt to ethernet? Any reviews? Rm139 is quite hefty and should i go for D-Link USB 3.0 to ethernet adapter instead?

much thanks.

hehe, USB 2.0 has a maximum speed below Gigabit LAN (which is 1000MBps), so of course your USB2 adaptor is not able to get that speed

I've been using the Apple adaptor for 2+ years now, no issues at all. Just take care of it, don't abuse it (bend / strain the adaptor) and it works just fine

edit : correct as per Mavik's info. Thanks @Mavik

I think you need to be clear with your units of measure.

USB 2 = 480 mbps (megabits per sec)

MBps = Megabytes per second

Thanks guys for the reply. I will buy the cable itself soon thankss!!!

Usb 3 or thunderbolt ethernet will give u same 1gbps. Always go for cat6 cable.
