Thunderbolt To Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Driver

Got this to connect my XPS 13 from 2016/2017 to my 27" thunderbolt Apple monitor. It worked straight out of the box. However I have a Dell TB16 dock as well. Tried using that as well. So the dock's usb-c connector goes into the XPS, and the Startech adapter goes from the dock to the Thunderbolt monitor. That didn't work: I needed to update the BIOS, Thunderbolt firmware, thunderbolt driver, and installed I believe the latest thunderbolt application from the Intel website. Everything works now, even the audio and usb ports on the monitor. (facetime camera doesn't work, since it can't find a driver). All in all good buy, but I can't connect my 2019 macbook Pro to my thunderbolt monitor with the startech adapter. Monitor does not activate. Seems to only work with Windows machines.

Works fine with Windows and Mac. This adapter can basically max out a gigabit Ethernet connection. I have it connected to a USB port on the back of my monitor so that a single cable gets me not only power and video, but also a better internet connection.

This adapter works well with Linux, but will require the user to compile the open source driver and install it. Careful instructions are on the web. I use it on a workstation normally attached to ethernet, but occasionally in need of wireless access. Quick speed test on a strong signal was about 250Mbps (650Mbps on ethernet).

This is the only way I could connect my 27 in. Thunderbolt Display. The adapter works with any Thunderbolt device: Ethernet adapter, hard drives, etc. Well worth the price.

Not much to say, it's a USB to Ethernet adapter. Works exactly like you would want it to.

Cox just upped my speed ... needed an approved modem with a gigabit ethernet port, more channels and RAM. Works great with my Netgear WNDR3700 router. Expect it to go a few years!

the best thunderbolt adapter in the market period!

I got this for a PC that had no free slots for a 10 gigabit Ethernet card. It installed automatically on Windows 10 and has been perfectly reliable for the first couple weeks. Very solid performance at 5 gigabit.

The Trendnet gigabit ethernet switch was easy to install. And all of the devices now connected to it are running at their optimal levels. I like the solid feel of this switch in its metal box. A good change from all of these plastic switches. It is nice to see the green lights by those devices that are receiving their full gigabit speed and those devices that are unable to operate at that speed show up as a yellow light. I am very satisfied with the performance of this product and was even more satisfied with the price. It is nice that one can still get a quality product for a great price ($).

I finally decided to sign up for a streaming TV service, but my circa 2016 Samsung Smart TV was too old to run the latest streaming apps. After doing a LOT of comparison of Roku, Fire, etc. I settled on the NVIDIA SHIELD TV and I'm extremely happy. I wanted a device that could support Gigabit ethernet (instead of operating via WiFi) and the SHIELD fit the bill. The only other device that fully supports Gigabit ethernet is Apple TV, but since I'm already in the Android ecosystem the NVIDIA SHIELD was really a no-brainer. Very satisfied user.
