USE THE USB-C Port ON Your Laptop to ADD LAN Access with Two GBE Ports A USB-A

Being a computer engineer, I get to play around with a lot of tech goodies. But let me tell ya, this StarTech.com USB-C to Dual Gigabit Ethernet Adapter impressed my socks off. The convenience factor is real, folks! With two ethernet adapters coming in the same tiny dongle, it's like a pocket-sized Titan of connectivity! And we're not just talking a two-trick pony, this baby comes with an extra USB 3.0 (Type-A) port. It's like that bonus cherry your favorite ice cream shoppe throws in - unasked but oh so welcomed. What warmed my tech-savvy heart was the easily identifiable MAC addresses on the bottom. Nothing irks me more than having to play guessing games about which port is which. Smooth move StarTech, smooth move. If this bad boy was a flash drive, it would be the superhero one, complete with a cape and a 'USB-C' emblazoned on its chest. For connectivity that's more co-operative than a disciplined marching band, this is a piece of kit that definitely gets my nod of approval!

A very handy device to get more networks onto a device and have traffic segmented.

Update: It is the second startech dual NIC I buy, and the second that malfunctioned after a year or so. It starts failing the second NIC, but eventually it ends up with intermitent fails on the first one too. It is a nice idea, but the execution is poorly done

Works great. I’m using it to monitor a Dante networks (primary and secondary). One thing to note is it is not plug and play, at least not on Mac. You have to download some drivers/software. But once it’s setup I works flawlessly. Highly recommend!

Works, but between restarts the IPs sometimes swap... not great when using each port for different networks and randomly need to switch the cables or go in and change them in the computer.

Worked good.

2018 MacBook Pro 13in works great. They make quality products.

Sent this back because as soon as I took it out of the box the little rubber feet came off. They would not stick back on. Also, when plugged into to it the box got so hot. That alone told me to send it back. I was not impressed with this item.

Ich nutze es zusammen mit SMB3 Multichannel zur Verbindung meines Win 10 Notebooks via Ethernet mit meinem QNAP NAS. So kann man endlich beide Ethernetkabel am QNAP NAS nutzen (auf dem QNAP SMB3 aktivieren). Windows 10 (auf meinem Notebook) kann SMB3 eh schon. Damit komme ich jetzt endlich auf 200MB/s, zumindest wenn ich von SSD auf SSD kopiere. Einfach klasse! Ist ein bisschen teuer als ein normaler USB-Adaper, aber ist aus meiner Sicht das Geld wert. Der USB-Passthrough-Anschluss ist allerdings recht langsam, wenn ich dort eine Festplatte anschiesse schaft er seltsammerweise nur 50 MB/s. Aber das nutze ich ehr nur als Zusatz-USB-Anschuss. Insgesamt bin ich hochzufrieden und habe lange nach einer solchen Lösung gesucht.

I've been buying a lot from started. Quality is always guaranteed.

Works as its intedended use. Sadly there aren't any dual 2.5G adapters around.

macOS13.1で,ASIX社サイトからAX88179用ドライバーをダウンロード/インストールして利用できています <https://www.asix.com.tw/en/support/download> AX88179A用でなく,ちゃんとAX88179用をインストールし,且つ,ASIX_USB_Device_Appでアクティベートすればいい(下記Youtube参照)ので難しくはないと思います <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA1J7II6RA0> ただ機能上アクセスランプは機能するので問題ないですが,リンクアップランプは点灯しません その点に目をつぶれれば問題なく利用できています

Ce produit m'a permis d'ajouter 2 ports NIC RJ45 Gigabit à mon ESXI en lab fonctionnant sous v6.5 Stabilité, performance: aucun souci depuis 2 mois pour quelqu'un qui ne fait pas de prod mais reproduit dans son homelab, un environnement de prod/test.
