Internet is severely slowed down by this issue
3/5

For the purpose of doing webinars, we bought this product to provide a more reliable and faster Internet connection. Our internet speed was severely slowed down by this and we had to go to multiple websites to check. We were getting nearly 3 times the amount of battery life when we were using another adapter A download speed of 400 Mbps and an upload speed of 18 Mbps It took 22 minutes to Using this adapter, we saw download speeds of 90 Mbps and upload speeds of 12 Mbps It was uploaded on 15 February. I'm not happy with that. In the past, we have tried to buy genuine Apple products, however the off-brand adapter we bought instead, which was less expensive and had good reviews,.

As long as you don't update the product, everything is fine
3/5

As most of you know, I paid $30 for this product, knowing I would have to pay Apple prices for software upgrades As a result of reading their products, they make off-brand products There are many types of brand that can be hard to use/compatible. The fact that I already had a problem with that did not dissuade me from taking the plunge in order to use Actually, this method worked like a charm for 3 times until last night when my Macbook Pro asked that I make an update. Initially, the device was able to register, but now it does not. The device today didn't work without a problem for nearly an hour until I almost thought my ethernet cable or the device itself had broken down. None of the above was At that point, I realized the only difference was the update, so I Googled the issue and found it to be a common occurrence. It is important to be forewarned that this device can be rendered useless with.

Apple is the only thing you need to buy
5/5

In the end, the less expensive method I used to connect my iPad to ethernet worked well. In the end, after some inconsistencies and draining of my battery, I decided to pay for this adapter and the lightning to USB adapter, and they both provide a reliable, fast ethernet connection, while remaining easy to use and maintaining my battery life is excellent. I would recommend just buying the Apple adapters even though they are more expensive!.

The only thing I like about this is that it works with Linux and is rock solid
5/5

Since the devices are made by Apple, they are of a high quality (even if they are somewhat overpriced). I believe it is solid as a rock. It has been a trouble-free week. The top speed of this product is only 10/100 due to its age. A gigabit Ethernet connection is not possible. This has the benefit of being There is always a clear understanding of what you will receive. Only one Ethernet chip is used by Apple, and that is For Linux, this is really crucial since there are a lot of differences between different chipsets in terms of driver quality. In fact, I even used this product for a commercial Linux system we sold at my last company, as it is dependable, and unlike other USB-based products, the chipset inside it won't switch to whatever is cheapest on the wholesale market when they produce it. These adapters open up the whole world to the Internet.

You can connect your iPad via a network cable one of two ways
5/5

I like it a lot! Is it possible to connect your iPad straight to your router so you can reduce your exposure to wifi? By using this and an Apple MK0W2AM/A Lightning To USB Camera Adapter, you will be hardwired in no time. It works flawlessly and the Ethernet connection is detected instantly. This is my daily connection and I enjoy it a lot.

I would not recommend it! SPEEDS ON THE INTERNET ARE SLOW! As a result of reading a lot of negative Amazon reviews, I An internet router that uses this adapter will have a greatly diminished connection speed! My purchase of this adapter was a mistake! As long as I am able to find a better one, I will do so
3/5

like about the adapter is that it really is incredibly high quality, and has a useful design that makes it easy to use connect your Ethernet cable and plug the device into your MacBook Air's USB port. My primary complaint is that I spent a lot of money on an adapter that slowed my connection, causing lag during my video game playing. As a customer of Xfinity xFi, I get 300MBPS speeds. An internet connection of 90MBPS is unacceptable. My money will be returned to me once I return it.

If you have an Ethernet Router and an Apple Computer, this is a necessity
5/5

In recent weeks, I lost internet access and was unable to reclaim it. Calling my local provider of internet service was the first thing I did. It cost me $100 to get a Tech to come over and hook up my Apple to my router using this adapter. The next time he walked out was My compulsive nature led me to check "my store. ". The value of it will be immeasurable.
