Appreciate LAN speed vs a crowded WiFi
I personally prefer to connect to LAN, when available, than to a WiFi. I would of course prefer a stationary LAN port on my ThinkPad, but this one is an OK alternative too, because it uses a dedicated port and leaves free the valuable USB ports.

Accessories are not compatible
It does not fit the Thinkpad so why would you sell an adapter that is not compatible. The Ethernet end is correct; but the adapter cannot be inserted into the Thinkpad because the end does not fit.

Overall Not Bad
Not an awful product. Does as intended. Wish the Ethernet cable was held a little better but other than that a great product.

Works As Advertised
Works as advertised with my X1 Carbon Gen 6. Just plugged it in and I was connected. Works just fine with Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Ethernet Adapter Review & Comparison
I bought a USB-A at the same time. It seems to be faster using my ethernet, but my computer may have had some mix-up configuring it with auto configure on Windows. It was very slow at first.

Adapter works great
Now that most laptop adapters do not come with Ethernet ports, this was greatly needed to first get our laptop on the network.

Great network adapter
Works perfectly and responds like an onboard NIC when your laptop doesn’t have one and doesn’t waste a USB port like most dongles

Does the job but should have come with the laptop
It does what it says, allow a wired Ethernet connection on my Thinkpad X1 Carbon. It uses the laptop's own network controller and doesn't hog one of my USB C ports. I don't like that it's a weird proprietary connector, where I'm up a creek if they ever stop making it and the first one breaks. Or if it is going to be proprietary, they should have included one in the box ...

Review of ThinkPad Ethernet Extension Adapter Gen2
This unit was useless and had to be returned. It is not compatible with the P1 Gen 2 despite what the Lenovo web site indicated.

expensive but handy
It's a bit expensive, but it enables my Carbon to be connected to an ethernet line. It's small enough to be packed in my backpack, but also small enough to lose if you are not careful, as I did with my first one.

Idiotic design, waste of c-USB port and money
It is unthinkable that a proprietary port is designed in a way to block the use of the c-USB port right next to it. Better spend money on faster WI-FI or cheep c-USB/Ethernet adapter, at least c-USB/Ethernet adapter will have use beyond your current ThinkPad.

Great solution for movement with ethernet cable!
It works great on my laptop. I was plugging an ethernet cable straight to the computer and the connection wasn't as stable and if the cable move, it presented an issue.
