I use an in-house tool to connect to equipment over Ethernet for the company my company contracts for. Built in Ethernet is so good for it and getting very hard to find. When it was time for a new laptop my boss was able to find a decent one with built in Ethernet. I even offered to pay the difference in price.
I used two USB dongles in the past and it seems like they worked when they wanted to. It's most likely a software issue because the in-house tool is garbage.
Recommendation would be to use a Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter so it can directly connect via PCI Express. These USB Ethernet dongles are often crappy.
I'll keep this in mind, but that onboard RJ45 is doing great.
