I've been transferring via my wifi network. Will this work?** A: It will hook up your pc to your Mac via thunderbolt using an Ethernet cable. I am not sure about your Mac recognizing the connection **Q: this adapter works for my Macbook Pro pretty well, but it does not work for my Air. I tried many times. I do not know where the problem is.** A: Which Macbook Air do you have? how to identify: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3255According to Apple, only Air models 2011 and later will have Thunderbolt support. see:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5299 **Q: Must it be a gigabit use only or can it work with any wired ethernet connection regardless of speed? If not, can I buy the USB-ethernet cable instead?** A: There is absolutely no reason to get thunderbolt, USB 2.0 goes up 450mbps with 300 being the typical peak. For comparison, the most common internet today only goes from from 20-50mbps. Most at home routers don't even support Local Area Networks to 300mbps, you're really only getting thunderbolt for the name really. Thunderbolt is overkill for this, a good use of a thunderport would be like hooking up a 4k resolution monitor that needs tons of bandwidth. **Q: Is it compatible with a mac book air 2014 since it has a thunderbolt plug** A: If your Macbook Air have thunderbolt, it will be working. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ ATTENTION: Pas un USB C !!! *by P***O on 5 July 2023* L'annonce n'est pas claire et si vous êtes novices en la matière (ce qui est mon cas) vous vous retrouvez en moins de deux avec un port usb qui n'est pas compatible avec votre appareillage... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfecte adapter, weer mega snel internet op mijn laptop! *by M***N on 23 November 2020* Perfecte adapter om een data kabel aan te sluiten op je laptop via de Thunderbolt poort! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FASTER INTERNET! *by W***M on 26 September 2016* Okay, so. Who is this product for? This adapter is perfect for those who want to get the fastest internet speeds possible to their Mac, and those who want to be able to access the internet as there is no Wi-Fi/ the signal is very weak. In my case, most of the time I need this cable as one of the essential things to pack when transporting my Mac, whether that be to a lecture or for just having for when I’m in a location where the Wi-Fi signal in my room is weak. This cable proved to be more useful than I primarily anticipated. This is because I first purchased the adapter to obtain a more secure internet speed, in comparison to running on Wi-Fi, which worked a treat and I can now have good internet speeds like they should be when I’m on the right side of the house. But this was also useful as a cheeky way to get around my XI form’s Wi-Fi, where I could then access certain websites that were otherwise blocked on the Wi-Fi, such as YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud and so on. The adapter provides a male thunderbolt 2 connection on one side, so any Mac’s with a thunderbolt female available will be able to use this adapter, to an Ethernet female. In order to connect to the internet, you will have to provide your own Ethernet cable so that you can plug it into the female Ethernet connection on the adapter to your internet source, whether this be a modem or internet switch or anything else that you use to plug in your Ethernet cable. Do I think that this product was worth the purchase? Yes. Do I think it’s worth its money? No. However, it seems although it seems contradicting, I would buy the product again in a heartbeat if I lost it, but It’s not worth the money I paid which was £25. There are other options on the market that sell this adapter much cheaper, that I’m sure does the same thing. I would question whether the build quality is as good as Apple’s adapter and if the internals will provide the same quality of internet speeds, as I believe some adapters, like modems can be not as powerful and not provide the same speeds even if using the same internet and Ethernet cable. Although there are cons or should I say con of the price. It is a solid product and something worth looking into if you want a better internet connection to your Mac if it doesn’t have an Ethernet port available. Any questions, just ask!
