Is this supported for Microsoft Windows 10?
Nicole S
on Jan 4, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes, I have used it on two different laptops running Windows 10. One is a Lenovo Yoga 370 plugging directly into a USB-C port. The other is an older ASUS laptop with only USB-A ports, so I used a USB-C female to USB-A male adapter added onto this Ethernet adapter and it worked perfectly.

This device plugs into the USB-C which is smaller than the traditional USBs. An ethernet cable is plugged into the other end to aquire the internet. So the answer to your question is NO.

When I first plugged it in, it didn't recognize the aqdapter. I had to create another location in Networks and then found the Adapter. Works very well.

will this support data transfer between macbook pros? i didn't even know this was potentially an issue but comments for a seemingly identical product on amazon (same specs) said it didn't work... i shouldn't need it often for internet but was definitely planning to use it to move 2008 mbp content to a 2016 mbp... thanks!

Yes. It works with the late 2016 MacBook Pros and Windows PCs. I haven't tried it with the 12 inch MacBook. I haven't tried it with USB-C/USB 3.1 Gen 1, in other words the 5Gbps version of USB-C. I believe the Apple Late 2016 MBP ports support Gen 2 -- as does my Dell XPS 15 9550.

Works great
No driver required (for Win10) and it's much faster than a wireless connection.

Great adapter for the price
I’ve only had it two weeks but it’s been exactly what I needed. Solid adapter that connected well to my MacBook Pro. My only request for a future product would be that it doesn’t allow the cable to flash through the plastic of the adapter. It can get a little distracting.

Don’t ask me to review products that I haven’t received.
I haven’t received the item so I don’t know why Monoprice is asking me to review it. Tracking says forwarding expired. Doesn’t make sense since I used Amazon Pay with a saved address that has worked previously.
