USB 3.0 to Ethernet Adapter, Fairikabe USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit NIC Network Adapter, USB Computer LAN Card Adapter for Laptop, Nintendo Switch, PC, MacOS, Linux, Windows

This LAN adapters works perfectly for what I bought it for, which is for use with the Switch. Sometimes the Switch can be finicky in whether or not it will take a LAN adapter depending on its chipset used. In this case, it worked immediately without any issues. I was able to load up an online game of Smash Bros Ultimate without any noticeable lag. On the network test screen, it shows a wired connection of approximately ~55Mbps download and ~15Mbps upload. tl;dr: If you came here looking for a Nintendo Switch LAN adapter, buy with confidence!

Perfect for hooking my lan into my laptop for working at home.

This product is easy to use, plug into the computer or gaming device and plug the ethernet cable into the adaptor and you are connected! Much easier than bothering with the wifi and allows for more devices to be stable on my network. I am using this product with my Nintendo Switch while docked which is no longer dropping signal, allowing for consistent gameplay. It also automatically connects any docked switch this way, when friends bring their switch over they place it into the dock and are connected instantly.

I live in a Wi-Fi saturated environment and I like to keep as many of my devices that are critical on a wired connection to cut down on interference, dropouts and slowdowns. While its too early to tell if this will minimize the amount of disconnects I get while playing Splatoon 3, I can speak to the fact that this works with the Nintendo Switch. Installation was a breeze, plugging it into an available USB port on the dock and then attach an ethernet cable into my switch. Changed the connection in the settings of the Switchs menu from Wi-Fi to wired and it was done. Conducted a self test of the network in the Switchs menu and it worked with flying colors. Speed values were a little off, but I think that has more to do with the inner workings of the Switch itself, as on a Wi-Fi connection I was seeing similar if not worse values. Nice, compact unit, fit my needs perfectly, recommended.

I needed an ethernet adapter for my older laptop that doesnt have an ethernet port. This device is essentially plug and play. Windows recognized it immediately, and within minutes I was ready to go. The price is affordable, much less expensive than most other solutions. Ive been using for a few weeks now with no issues. Definitely recommended.

When I received this adapter, I was skeptical about the capabilities. Im a retired electronics tech and technical writer. I was impressed with both performance and construction on the adapter. I had previously acquired the USB-C equivalent product from the same manufacturer, with very nice performance results. This USB-A device was used with three of my computers. One is a PC stick running the Windows 10 Pro operating system. The second is an older machine where I replaced the Vista operating system with Windows 7. The third is my newer Windows 11 laptop (not shown in the photos). The results of my testing: the Win 10 pocket PC prompted me for a newer driver which I downloaded. The guts of this adapter is an actual ASIX network interface card built into the Ethernet port end of the adapter. Performance was excellent and stable via the USB 3 port on my pocket PC. The computer was designed for Wi-Fi only so this adapter makes it possible for a wired faster Ethernet connection. Speed was as fast as my Win 11 setup on the other computer with the USB-C gigabit adapter. My 500 Mbps fiber optic gateway Ethernet speeds actually approach 600+ Mbps. The next test was on my older Windows 7 laptop using the USB-A to Ethernet adapter. The network interface card and Ethernet port on this computer stopped working a few years ago. Once again, this adapter allowed me to gain the speed of a wired connection. As expected, since this machine only has USB 2.0 ports, the throughput speed was reduced to 100 GB which was acceptable. I have been using this adapter via a Dell USB-C to USB 3 adapter on my Windows 11 machine continuously for the past week. No problems, great performance.

tldr; take it out of the box, plug it into your computer/laptop and you now have a wired 1GB NIC, thats it, no fuss. --------- Im a system administrator professionally, and that means a system-admin/troubleshooter for my friends and family. One of problems on most modern laptop is that manufactures have removed the physical network interface in order to make the laptop slimmer, but a physical NIC (Network Interface Connection) is important in troubleshooting, so I got this for those times where you need to remove the WIFI signal as variable and or no WIFI is present. These are pretty simple devices, plug them into a USB port and Windows (tested on windows 10 & 11) will recognize them as a Network Interface. You dont have to install anything, you dont have to configure anything (beyond what you would configure for network access, which for 99% of home users is nothing). The adapter is recognized as a 1Gb NIC, though I didnt do a transfer test on it to confirm, I have no reason to question that. In the end it did exactly what I wanted which is a wired connection with a zero hassle.

Main reason why I bought this to have it just 8n case if my internet is down and I need to check whats wrong. That is how you troubleshoot router modem issues. If router has issues, you would connect this to your modem via hardline cat 5. If you get internet, its a router issue. If not, then your service provider issue. I connected it to win 11 machine, and in 7 seconds I had service. No drivers needed. Windows recognized and installed drivers in no time. Both lights blinking. Very happy customer.

I got this to use in some cases when traveling where I wanted a wired network connection to my windows based tablet that only has WiFi. This worked right out of the box and provided the expected speeds for my older 100 Mbs wired network. Updated: 05/01/23 We have a SiriusXM Internet radio by Grace Digital that we got a few years ago. We had been using it with WiFi but it has a lot of tendency to drop the WiFi connection, or to be very slow to start up. You need a separate USB to Ethernet adapter to use a wired connection. Rather than order the more expensive Grace adapter I thought Id give this one a try with the radio. It works perfectly, and since changing over to using this adapter to provide wired Ethernet to the radio it has been solid. So, if you have a Grace Digital or SiriusXM internet radio you might want to give this a try if your WiFi connection is flaky. If I needed another in the future I would order again.

To my surprise, my newest laptop didnt have an onboard Ethernet port. It seems that as laptops and other devices get thinner, its becoming more common for ports such as Ethernet to be omitted from the device. This isnt an issue unless you actually need the wired Ethernet port either for network connectivity or to connect to other devices directly, as I frequently do for both work and hobby purposes. This USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter solved my problem quickly. It worked straight out of the box without requiring me to load any additional drivers or perform any setup. It just simply shows up as an Ethernet port to my system. If you need to add an Ethernet port to your device, as I did, I recommend this adapter as a simple solution to the problem.
