Found this to help tweak the Windows settings. Sounds like it works better under Linux. For Windows, might work better on older firmware:

This is a more common problem with usb to ethernet or some other protocol adapters (e.g. wifi). The root of the problem is how windows handles the usb device controller. Not gonna endorse or bash this product, but a common fix for this is to block windows from applying automatic power savings to this device or the usb controller so windows doesn't put the device to sleep when idle. The problem usually arises when windows asks the device to wake up from idle and it just hangs up.

That one is standard 1 GbE, this one is 2.5 GbE. If you have the common 1G Ethernet hub (ie, don't have a 2.5G/5G/10G hub), they both will negotiate to 1G- no speed benefit, and not sure the reliability difference of the chip TP-Link is using.
When comparing to the Ugreen 4-1, this one adds USB hub ports, plus has a USB Type-A, then an adapter to use USB-C ports, which is proper when speed is only USB 3.0 (Type-A ports more common, USB-C ports prioritized for faster links)
