Review: This adapter works with Moto G7 phones and Lenovo TAB10 tablet - I have been trying different Ethernet to USB C adapters to be able to run my Moto G7 Power directly from my router. Working to keep WiFi radiated energy low when I sleep. I tried a Belkin adapter but no go, even though it did work on my laptop. However, when I connected the Plugable adapter the phone and my Lenovo TAB10 both connected in a couple of seconds. So far, my research has indicated few adapters that will work properly with older and newer phones and tablets, although this is not to say there are not others. As a bonus, the Ethernet connection is quite a bit faster than the WiFi connection and it automatically shuts off the WiFi connection. I haven't found a selection on either of my devices that let's me monitor the connection, my research indicates that some phones and tablets have that ability. You can tell you are connected on newer phones by looking at the upper right top of the device where you will see an icon that looks like this , to arrow heads with 3 dots (not dashes, couldn't do dots here) between them that indicates you are connected to your router via a direct Ethernet connection. Older/other phones may show different connection icons.
Review: Works With Google Home Max! - For several years I had problems with my Google Home Max dropping the wifi signal and freezing up. Out of sheer frustration I looked into bypassing wifi and using an ethernet direct signal into the Home Max. I read about someone with a similar problem who used the Plugable USB-C to Ethernet adapter with good results so I gave it a try. Success!!! The Plugable adapter worked perfectly with no special drivers or configuration. It was plug and play. And now my Google Home Max plays GREAT with NO drop-outs or freezing. I wish I did this years ago. Thank you Plugable for a great product!!!
