Improve Speed and Reliability over Faster Networks
The Plugable USB 2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (USB2-E1000) kicks up network performance of computers with 100Mbps (10/100) Fast Ethernet adapters, using the higher speeds of USB 2.0 ports to achieve up to 300Mbps on a Gigabit network. It also adds the speed and reliability of wired Ethernet to computers with slow or unreliable wireless connections, or to computers without built-in Ethernet.

supported on macOS.
​Performance
If your network speeds are currently limited by slow WiFi or a 100Mbps (10/100) network adapter in your computer, this adapter can provide up to 250-300 Mbps on networks that support these speeds.
Please note that ultimately, your Internet Service Provider's maximum speed will determine the upper level of performance. Speeds can also be limited by other computers on the network, excessive traffic on a cable connection, or network cabling and devices like switches or routers that don't support higher network speeds.
This adapter will also allow 100Mbps (10/100) networks to transfer data at their fastest available speed.
