I got this and works well. I would use it for permanent installation because locking mechanism is hard to disengage with my fingers. A spoon handle worked well at disconnecting the connector.

I agree about WiFi being so fast these days, though I still always make sure to use Ethernet (even on my phone via USB-C hub) when moving a considerable amount of data.
For the average home user, Wifi is good enough. For a power user (aka prosumer) with file servers, app servers, multiple 4K streaming devices, and many security cameras then wifi is woefully inadequate. It's not just about the top speed of a single connection, it's the aggregate bandwidth of all the devices combined. Wifi is a shared medium, ethernet is not (if properly setup). That said, the average home user relies on cloud services for just about everything so the internet connection becomes the bottleneck, in which case wifi vs ethernet is moot.

The anti-snag boots SUCK! Compared to no boot, you have to press like a gorilla to unlatch the thing. And though I understand the purpose, I can't recall one time in my life I've had an ethernet cable get snagged any different than any cable would. Certainly never a time a said "Dang. Wish this tab was protected." It makes total sense on the surface, but is a solution a problem I've never had. I have, however, darn near ripped ethernet jacks out of their socket because I thought I was pushing on the boot hard enough and clearly was not.
Anyone have a link for this one?
