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

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

Received this today, and having had many ethernet to USB adaptors in the past, I liked the way that this one looked. When used with a samsung tablet, it was recognized right away and provided decent throughput speeds. Although, when connecting to a windows machine, the connection was spotty. I ran windows update and it pulled down the driver for the network adaptor, although even after that, and a reboot, the connection kept dropping. Unfortunately, I wouldnt purchase this again and would recommend looking elsewhere.

Works good does everythink it should .

This thing is built strong and tough and just works. Plug it into a USB port on your laptop or PC, connect an Ethernet cable, wait a few seconds for the familiar USB connection chime, and youre all set. It really is that easy. No drivers to install, no app to configure, no nothing. Just plug it in and start surfing or transferring files over the network. There is not much else to say about this adapter, except that it works very well, and transfer/connection speeds are as good as the built-in NIC port on my PC. With this adapter, I am limited only by my Internet connection speed (which is nowhere near 1 gigabit.) Still, this thing is awesome. Highly recommended. Build Quality - 5/5 Body and cable built like a tank. Super tough. Speed - 5/5 As good or better as the built-in NIC on my PC. Ease of Use - 5/5 Nothing can be easier. Just plug it in and it works. Value for Money - 5/5 At $13, this is a steal. Overall Score - 5/5 Great product and excellent value

The USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter was very easy to install. I only had to plug into an available USB 3.0 port and voila! I plugged in the ethernet cable and Windows 10 recognized and immediately setup. Within no time at all I was connected to the network and able to browse the internet at decent speeds.

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.

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 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.

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.

This is an ASIX ax88179 based adapter that is widely supported by various systems. The build quality of the cable and enclosure is very good and feels sturdy. Works great so far!
