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 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.

I wanted to wire a mini pc I got instead of going through wifi and hoped this would do it. If it required any drivers the pc did it automatically because I plugged it in and was wired with much better speeds right away so Im happy. The OS is Windows 10 if that makes any difference to it being plug and play.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Good looking, simple use - I primarily wanted to test out this specifically on the switch, but I did also set it up on my PC to test the speeds and it does meet the speeds listed on PC. Just a word of warning for those looking to use it on the switch however, it does seem like Nintendo has done a poor job making it capable of high speeds - I used the exact same cable, ports, everything between my PC and my switch, and when Speed Testing, on PC I hit the ~1000 mbps I am supposed to get, but on the Switch Nintendo claims it to only be ~50-75 mbps. Again, this is NOT the fault of the product, and is instead an issue with Nintendo, but for anyone who was thinking about getting this for Switch, I wanted to be clear.

I plugged this into a USB 3 port on my laptop this morning, connected a network cable, and turned off the wifi. I didnt see any messages about my laptop installing any drivers for this. A few seconds later I checked the network connection icon in the lower right corner and noticed that it had a LAN connection; the yellow and green lights on the adapter are also active as one would expect (green is solid, yellow is flashing indicating traffic). There was nothing to setup or configure. The device looks well-built. To confirm that it actually worked, I opened Outlook and also a couple of web browsers. I am receiving emails, and Im also able to browse without any problems. Maybe its just my imagination, but this connection seems faster than the connection I get when using the ethernet port built-in to the laptop. The reason I got this is because I need to connect my laptop to two different networks at the same time. I do Zoom broadcasts for my church on Sundays, so its necessary to use wired connections instead of relying on the wifi in the building. With only a single ethernet port, Ive had to have the PTZ cameras on the buildings main network which includes internet traffic and connections by members. By having a second ethernet port, Ill be able to isolate the cameras on their own network and leave Zoom on the building network for broadcasting. Im looking forward to this to see if it reduces the video latency.

Works good does everythink it should .

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.
