Apple A1433 Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter not getting full speed

I run a speedtest on wifi and I get over 200Mbps but with the adapter I get right around 90Kbps. Do I have a defective adapter? 2012 MacBook Air running 10.15, TP-Link Gigabit Router/Cat 5e cable (also tried a different cat 5e cable)

Not all pieces of gear are rated the same. The first thing I'd suspect is your adapter is not rated at 200 Mbps. Especially if you get 200 Mbps without it.


What adapter? Your should be able to get the specs at the maker's website.
