SABRENT USB-C to 5G Ethernet Adapter – 5GbE Optimized, USB 3.1 Gen 1+ Required, Clear Compatibility, Aluminum Body, Plug-and-Play for Data-Capable USB-C Devices (NT-C5GA)

I have 2gb fiber, so i picked this up for my windows laptop (HP Omen)When i plugged it in, it seem to auto install properly, however, i was getting 15mb down, 500 up. I went to the sabrent website to try and find a driver, but the link was a dead link (as other reviewers mentioned).So i was about to pack it up and send it back, then i saw on another product someone mentioned in a review they needed to do a windows update. so i tried it.Sure enough, windows update found an updated Realtek driver and installed itNow i get ~ 2100/2100 like I expected.So if you get really bad throughput when you plug it in, go to windows update. you will need the updated driver.Now it works perfectly and super fast.

At first I wasn't getting 5G speeds - it was very unstable at 200mbps download, and about 3000mbps upload on my Windows PC. I tried it on my Macbook and I was getting full 5G speeds.After a couple hours troubleshooting, I realized the driver I just downloaded and installed wasn't being used. I decided to update my 6 year old BIOS version to the most recent one, and now it works at full 5G speeds!Fellas, if you aren't getting 5G speeds, take a look at your BIOS age and make sure you install the latest Realtek driver linked on the Sabrent site :)

Works great, terrific price. I was able to use my Dell port replicator that only goes to 1GBps ethernet so I am happy!

Bought this specifically to use on my Synology DS920+ to upgrade from a 2.5G adapter I had. It works great so far.

I have 10G wiring and switches in my house so I bought this to speed up the connections on my laptop. I plug it into the brand new Surface Laptop, I get error messages about not being able to provide enough power to this device. I would think that is probably not the fault of the adapter but, when I plug it into another laptop I get errors that the USB device is not recognized. Unplugging and plugging it back in 4 or 5 times will eventually work, but when I shut down and then open the lid the next day I need to repeat that routine all over again. When it does work I get constant disconnections causing streaming video to stop and I need to manually restart. I went back to my old 2.5G adapter from another company and have none of these problems.

Proxmox recognized the network adapters and it pretty much just worked.

I have given this Sargent 5G Ethernet adapter every chance to work using the USB C 3.2 port on my Lenovo P16 Gen2 laptop but it just isn’t happening. It’s pretty rock solid I’m one of my Thunderbolt 4 ports but I need both Thunderbolt ports for monitors. I contacted Sabrent tech support (a short hold time for live support I was pretty impressed), however the tech was just a screen reader, didn’t help much at all, but was polite. He did inform me that there is no firmware update needed or available. The adapter is solidly built, short cable seemed very well put together. But I’ll be sending it back. I’ll go ahead and get the Lenovo 2.5G adapter vs getting a 2.5G Sabrent. I was able to verify compatibility on the Lenovo site. 2.5G will be sufficient for my needs. I always try to get my network stuff with a little headroom vs maxxed out. Maybe Sabrent will weigh in with some words of wisdom. I did give it 3 stars even though I’m returning it. USB C 3.2 should power this little adapter with ease.

Works just fine! Fast as should be and easy to connect.
