I also have an MacBookPro12,1 and the Thunderbolt adapter was the first accessory I bought. You are right that you don't need it at home, but many customers do not have wifi at all and the only way to connect at their site is Ethernet.
- merb 10y agoactually I have the thunderbolt adapter as well. But I barly need it.
- vetinari 10y agoYou are lucky, then. I need it at customers place and also in the office - the WiFi is unreliable (but only on Macs, Thinkpads do not seem have that problem, go figure), I'm losing connection and the only way to reconnect is to toggle the WiFi off and on. It quickly gets tiring and the thunderbolt adapter solves that.

- vetinari 10y agoThanks for the tip. Now here is the funny part: the router is Netgear WNDR3700(v1) running OpenWrt. I have exactly the same router with exactly the same software at home - and it doesn't behave the same. It runs great at home, no dropouts.
