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

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.

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!

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.

I acquired this ethernet dongle in hopes that I could plug my Galaxy tablets dock into the wired network instead of relying on a relatively saturated wifi network in the house. I can happily report that it works. The ethernet adapter was able to max out the speed of our broadband in Speed Test -- which means it was clearly faster than the wifi, but limited by my internet connection in my test. I didnt feel like setting up a LAN speed test (which is non-trivial to setup), so I cant say if this will actually get gigabit speeds, but I can say that it is faster than the built in wifi and also faster than 100 ethernet. Bottom line, the dongle seems to do exactly what it is supposed to, and does it without any setup hassle. And it DOES work in Android. Cant complain about any of it.

I ordered this because I needed a USB to Ethernet cable for one of my computers. This adapter works great and no complaints here. The flexible cable is strong but allows some flex. the USB and Ethernet connectors are both excellent and provide maximum bandwidth. This cable is my second order from Fairikabe company and it is really a well built product and deserves 5 stars

Using a Windows 11 laptop, I plugged in this adapter, and my ethernet cable and everything just worked! I instantly had a full wired connection, which was much more reliable, stable, and faster than my wifi connection. The cord length was just right. The adapter seems like it will last. Well worth the minimal investment to get this adapter.

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!

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.
