I currently have 2gb internet and routinely get over 2gb on my laptop and desktop. I tried it on my friend's system with 5gb and it does deliver it's advertised speeds. The added power port is a plus, allowing you to power / charge your device simultaneously. This works great on a type C smartphone too. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good value, good performance after driver update, but PD power passthrough causes instability *by J***N on June 16, 2025* This requires downloading the Realtek drivers in order to get full speed in Windows 11. Once that's done, it did reach the 5Gbps speeds. I like like adapter because it has a USB C PD power passthrough. Design isn't too bulky but it is larger the your average 1Gbps or 2.5Gbps ethernet adapter. I will say that it runs a bit warm but not too hot. EDIT: performance isn't great. I find that when the PD power passthrough is used it tends to drop connections if used on more hungry laptops. It still works without the power but it's unstable with PD power. Save yourself money and buy skip this if PD power passthrough is a feature you're looking for. I tested speeds between two points using iperf through a 10GBE connection. Pretty good for the price instead of a much more expensive 10gbe device. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/726872752-wavlink-5gbps-usb-c-to-ethernet-adapter-5000mbps-usb-c](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/726872752-wavlink-5gbps-usb-c-to-ethernet-adapter-5000mbps-usb-c) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
