1. I like the ones that have lights on the Ethernet port so you can see if the device is up/down. I find that critical as we go to a lot of sites where we don't know if the cable is good/bad, so a indication on the lights is critical.
If you're going to do network testing, then an NETool is recommended. That's a complete Linux network testing system in what looks like a larger-than-usual dongle. Beyond that, if you're using an older Mac, then in my experience Apple's Thunderbolt 2/GigE adapter can't be beat. I do not yet have enough experience with USB, or USB-C, or Thunderbolt 3 adapters to be able to make any recommendations. -- Brad Knowles <brad@shub-internet.org>
