TP-Link TL-SX1008 Review an 8-Port 10Gbase-T Switch
For years, the best way to get 10 gigabit networking on laptops was to buy an expensive, large, and hot 10 GbE Thunderbolt adapter. With new RTL8159-based 10G USB 3.2 adapters coming onto the market, the bulky adapters might be a thing of the past. Just look at the size of the thing in comparison to my Thunderbolt adapters: 2.5G and even 5G USB adapters have been out for a while, but sometimes you need more bandwidth.
New 10 GbE USB adapters are cooler, smaller, cheaper

Realtek RTL8159 10GbE to USB 3.2 adapters sell for about $55 and up

Realtek unveiled low-cost, low-power 10GbE RTL8127 (PCIe) and RTL8159 (USB 3.0) controllers at Computex 2025. Since then, we noted that RTL8127-based M.2 and PCIe 10GbE cards had already launched for as low as $35. However, a new X post by Jeff Geerling reminded me it was time to check on those RTL8159 10GbE to USB 3.2 adapters. So let's do that now, starting with the Wisdpi WP-UT9 mentioned in the post/tweet. Wisdpi WP-UT9 WisdPi WP-UT9 specifications: Chipset - Realtek RTL8159 Ethernet - Up to 10GbE RJ45 port; backward compatible with 5 Gpbs, 2.5 Gbps, 1Gbps, and 10/100Mbps Ethernet USB - USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C port; backward compatible, but slower ports will impact performance; USB hubs/docks and long cables are not recommended either Misc - 2x LEDs - Amber (Link) / Green (Activity) Power Supply - Via USB-C port Dimensions - 59 x 29 x 13 mm Weight - 58.8 grams
