5Gb Ethernet is here! But it's not always easy. That might be fine if you use this WisdPi adapter.

I bought the WisdPi 5G USB-C Ethernet Adapter straight from the wisdpi website: wisdpi.com/products/wisdpi-usb-3-2-5g-ethernet-adapter-wp-ut5-wired-lan-network-connection-for-mac-os-linux-windows-backward-compatible-on-5g-2-5g-1g-100mbps-ideal-for-gaming
