Monoprice Consul Series USB-C Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Monoprice USB-C Female to USB-A Male, 3.1 Gen 2 Adapter
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it will work just fine. Although I would recommend buying USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Product # 11195 instead of the 2 units. Much cheaper and less prone to disconnecting

Monoprice USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
I have never tried with that adapter. But I did find that if you use just one USB-A, it will only transfer data and not video.

I believe that will work but why not just get an Ethernet adapter with a USB A connector?

Well, since Monoprice did not provide any OS support information, you will need to call Monoprice tech support and ask. Good luck.

Monoprice Consul Series USB-C Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Monoprice Select Series USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
BEST ANSWER: i have both they both work gigabit speeds. this one is smaller/sleeker form factor and design made with metal for heat dissipation i think as it does get hotter/warmer. the link light is part of the ethernet jack. the white one is all plastic and the link light is internal and shines through the white plastic..

Gigabit ethernet adapter works very well
Very satisfied with the speed and connecters seem quality made. Like the aluminum body. Only concern is that it runs a little hot, but this is better than the plastic bodies which people seem to say break down more.

So far, So Good!
This seems, so far, to be a better quality adapter than the usual all-plastic. I have hope that the braided fabric cable cover and its strain relief might help it keep working longer than some others I've used. I also like that it has a green 'on' LED plus a red signal activity indicator. So far, so good!

Works exactly as expected
Ethernet adapter works exactly as advertised. Was looking for a way to run wired ethernet on my MacBook Pro and this works without a hitch. The body of this adapter does get a little warm, but nothing alarming. Color/finish also matches my MBP case. Nice job.

Excellent addition for home or office use
Connect your gigabit wired signal to your phone or tablet. I use mine for my tablet which I use for gaming. WONDERFUL!!

No 802.1q, great otherwise
Wanted to add an additional note after I submitted my initial review. This adapter does not support 802.1q so no VLAN tagging.
My Mac was happy to provision the interfaces but then they just don't pass any traffic. Swapping it out with an older Apple 100BT adapter and the tags work fine. May not be a factor for you unless you are in the networking space but might be important for some folks.
I'm still giving it 5 stars because overall it's a great adapter. Just don't find out about the lack of 802.1q support the hard way (like I did).
