## Overview

The StarTech.com USB-C to Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter combines two high-speed Gigabit Ethernet ports with a USB 3.0 Type-A port, enabling professionals to expand wired network access and USB connectivity through a single USB-C or Thunderbolt port. Featuring native driver support for major OS platforms, a compact design for portability, and advanced networking features like Wake-On-LAN and VLAN tagging, this adapter is engineered for seamless, high-performance connectivity wherever your work takes you.

## Description

Now, you can add wired network access through the USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your laptop or desktop computer, and connect to your USB 3.0 (Type-A) devices with ease. This Gigabit Ethernet network adapter gives you access to two reliable GbE ports, and without having to install drivers. Powerful Gigabit network connections The network adapter leverages the 5Gbps speed of USB 3.0 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1) to deliver the full bandwidth of your Gigabit network connection, without bottlenecks. This saves you time by making it easier to access very large files over your network at Gigabit speed. For added versatility, the network adapter supports a range of convenient features, such as Wake-On-LAN, VLAN Tagging, Crossover Detection and Auto-Correction (Auto MDIX), Checksum Offload (IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP), and Large Send Offload. Add connectivity to your USB devices This Gigabit adapter features an integrated USB 3.0 Type-A port, so while the adapter is connected to your computer to provide network access, you can also connect to USB peripherals that need a USB Type-A connector. The network adapter is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 systems. Native driver support makes installation easy The network adapter provides native driver support to ensure a quick setup. Simply plug the adapter into the USB Type-C port on your laptop and connect to your network. The network adapter chipset offers native driver support in Chrome OS and Windows 8.1, and supports Mac OSX (10.10) with driver installation. Trouble-free connections through USB-Type-C The USB Type-C connector is smaller and easier to use than previous USB connectors. It’s a reversible plug, so you can connect to your devices with either side facing up without frustration or the risk of port damage. US1GC301AU2R is backed by a StarTech..

Review: Double Dose of Connectivity Magic! - Being a computer engineer, I get to play around with a lot of tech goodies. But let me tell ya, this StarTech.com USB-C to Dual Gigabit Ethernet Adapter impressed my socks off. The convenience factor is real, folks! With two ethernet adapters coming in the same tiny dongle, it's like a pocket-sized Titan of connectivity! And we're not just talking a two-trick pony, this baby comes with an extra USB 3.0 (Type-A) port. It's like that bonus cherry your favorite ice cream shoppe throws in - unasked but oh so welcomed. What warmed my tech-savvy heart was the easily identifiable MAC addresses on the bottom. Nothing irks me more than having to play guessing games about which port is which. Smooth move StarTech, smooth move. If this bad boy was a flash drive, it would be the superhero one, complete with a cape and a 'USB-C' emblazoned on its chest. For connectivity that's more co-operative than a disciplined marching band, this is a piece of kit that definitely gets my nod of approval!
Review: 3.5 stars: functional - Some of the rubber feet fell off after even the first use, and for a plastic box it feels expensive, but both ports work and the device functions as expected. The only surprise I found was needing to download drivers from the manufacturer (that may need be updated and there is no automatic notification or mailing list to know when), but once installed, it performed correctly. I learned this chatting with customer support, which was helpful and efficient in handling my issue. If I could, I would rate this 3.5 stars considering, price, build quality, non-plug-and-play, and overall function. It is not a product that fits well within the mac eco-system, but it does what it should.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great
*by A***. on April 9, 2023*

Works great. I’m using it to monitor a Dante networks (primary and secondary). One thing to note is it is not plug and play, at least not on Mac. You have to download some drivers/software. But once it’s setup I works flawlessly. Highly recommend!
