I'm using this ethernet dongle from Anker.

It's not the end of the world, still getting plenty of throughput, but, just kind of annoying since these are supposed to be 10 gbps USB-C ports?

Does it seem reasonable to see a 40% loss in bandwidth due to going through the ASD for the network connection?

Seems others are having the exact same issue. Perhaps this is something that can be addressed a via firmware update to the ASD in the future.
