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)

Thank you, very helpful.

"This controller improves upon the performance issues commonly associated with the RTL8156 and RTL8156B versions."
History: Known overheat issues with the original RTL8156, mostly gone in RTL8156B but replaced with intermittent disconnect / slowness issues linked to USB-power/sleep and buffer size, and the current RTL8156BG seems to be the best and mostly working (assuming the product itself has no weaker link/component in the chain).
Note that there are overheating issues with 2.5G/faster switching hubs. Throttling / disconnects might be prevented by adding fans inside/outside the case, where also attaching a small heatsink to the main chip makes the largest difference. The commercial hubs tend to have better cooling, so might revisit when 5G trickles way down in pricing.

*reviews claims
Hardware Ids: USB\VID_OBDA&PID_8156&REV_3104
is in fact the BG
31.04: RTL8156B(S)G
https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-c...B07Z177Y2D
Makes sense, I've had no problems at 2.5Gbps
I did uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" just in case though.

My Asustor AS-U2.5G2 claims to have RTL8156B and its HW ID has "REV_3100"
Your (generic?) adapter (good deal!) shows a pic that identifies the PCB as from CableCreation. I have a plastic-shell USB-C version from CableCreation that is also ID'ed as 3104.
Edit: Yes, I also made the config change to not have it auto power down.
FYI, verified Ugreen's download site has the same driver version (Win10) as the latest on Realtek's site - Install_USB_Win10_10059_20_07272023_08042023:
https://www.realtek.com/en/compon...0-software
On linux, reports show the BG (v31.04) fixed the issues of the B version. Ex.:
https://www.cnx-software.com/2022...in-ubuntu/
Just figure out a way to strain-relief the connector- velcro-strap the body to an adjacent cable, or better yet, create a tension that presses the connector to the USB-C port.
otw, working well on Windows 10. I loaded the latest driver, 10059_20_07272023_08042023 (10.59.20.420), which can be downloaded from Ugreen or Realtek's sites.
Edit: Added actual driver version number.
Edit 2: Another way to get solid USB-C retention is to use stubby extension adapter or cable that has quality connectors. Ex.:
https://www.amazon.com/Degree-Fem...B0B77CJD7
Permanently attach the adapter - with tension - on the 2.5G dongle side, using a band that wont degrade like rubber:

Motor-heads can use Viton O-rings for overkill.
YMMV with USB adapters/extenders/cables - only time (and a couple of earthquakes) will tell if connector intermittency is fixed ... or aggravated by 2x.

Anyone test these for packet loss?
