Plugable USB to Ethernet Adapter, USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet, Compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7, XP, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS

I have had an ongoing issue with my inbuilt Network Adaptor and had previously purchased another product via Amazon which was similar to this one (all I can tell you is the other pluggable adaptor was blue 2.0 usb 10/100) . I probably shouldn't say it was similar as it ended up being slow as a dead snail even though the various sellers of the blue adaptor gave the impression it would handle anything up to 100mb when in reality its max was 12mb if you were really really lucky but usually maxed out at around 8mb. My max connection speed at the moment is around 38mb which is pretty good for the UK so I started searching for a better pluggable adaptor and was lucky enough to find this little beauty. I only have 2.0 USB ports but that wasn't a prob as all the 3.0 USB devices will still work in 2.0 ports (of course their capabilities are limited to 2.0 speeds) so getting a 3.0 devise would mean I was able to push the 2.0 port to it's max. Shortly after purchasing this Adaptor I received an email from the seller with the direct link to the drivers which I thought was really cool and ensured that when it arrived (which was in a matter of days), all I had to do was plug it in and I was set...no fuss whatsoever. The Adaptor worked the second it was plugged in and has done since the day it was installed. Zero drop-outs and consistently maintains an average speed of 34mb and at times even exceeds my expected max of 38mb. I noticed some people saying this adaptor was "quite big" or something like that It isn't!!..Its 6.5cm x 2cm which is a lot less chunky than the rubbish Blue one I unfortunately purchased. The USB connection is on a flexible wire which is a dang site better than the ones that rigidly plug straight into the USB port..which was a nightmare on my laptop. I don't make a habit of rambling on about things I buy off Amazon..but I can tell you straight, if you are looking for a Pluggable Network Adaptor which is reliable, consistent and no fuss..I would highly recommend this one with no hesitation at all. I don't know what it's max speed actually is, but it certainly works to my max...Awesome !!!!!

I recently upgraded to the Virginmedia 152mb internet package, but alas, my network card was not gigabit and I could only get D/L speeds of 100mb tops. So, after opting for the slightly more popular TeckNet® USB 3.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Wired Network Adapter - and having to send it back after it packed up on day one - I decided to purchase this Plugable unit. Cracking piece of kit: Well made, proper clear English instruction (not that you need them). The company also sent me a web link to download the most recent drivers, which allowed me to plug and play as soon as the adapter arrived. I've been using this for a couple of days now and happily achieve D/L speeds in excess of 152mb. And it works fine after waking the unit from sleep / hibernation, etc. I would recommend purchasing one if you are looking for an easier way of attaining gigabit speeds without having to swap network cards.

This works perfectly with the Nintendo Switch. I found that the WiFi on the Switch is pretty poor and that it was giving me much slower speeds then it should be, even though my Nintendo Switch is in the same room as my router. So I bought this adapter to see if it makes an difference and it made a huge improvement I ran a connection test in the Switch's settings and the speed it shows when using its built in WiFi is around 13.4, but with an Ethernet cable the shows it as 77.3. So I'm very happy with the results. It is very easy to set up. The adapter was instantly recognised by the console after i plugged it into one of the USB ports on the switch's dock (i used the USB slot on the inside of the dock at the back as this is a USB 3.0 port) and then plugged an Ethernet cable into the adapter. There is a little cable logo that shows up at the top of the Switch main menu to show you that you are connected online via a wired connection and you're pretty much good to go from there.

自宅で東芝Chromebook2（CB35-B3340）をWi-Fi接続していて電波が不安定な場所があるので、有線LANアダプタ（USB3-E1000）を注文しました。ASIX社のAX88179チップを使用。USB 3.0 とギガビット対応で実質600 Mbps 、無線より高速で安定したネット接続ができそうです。 海外のサイトで「Chromebookで使えた」というレビューはありますが機種名が書いてないので使えるか疑問でした。無事、ケーブルを接続しただけで有線（イーサネット接続済）に自動で切り替わりました。ルータ配下のGS105スイッチに1000MBで接続されてます。ブラウザも少し速くなった感じです。有線なので安定してます。 ＜気に入ったところ＞ 1. Chromebookに対応した有線LANアダプタは少ないです。Chromebook2（CB35-B3340）で、接続するだけで無線から有線に自動で切り替わりました。切り離すと無線になります。自動で切り替わるので便利。通常は無線で使い、電波が不安定なところにLANケーブルをひいておけばよさそう。高速でファイル転送したいときや出張にも使えます。 2. アダプタにランプが2つあり障害切り分けに使えます。 「Link」黄→ケーブル接続で点灯。「Activity」緑→データ転送で点滅。 3. 有線なので電波が悪い環境でも使え安定。そして高速。 4. メーカーのサポートは良さそう。注文したら、最新のドライバーの紹介と質問があればどうぞとメールが来ました。サイトを見るとChrome OSは最新のシステムアップデートで対応してるみたい。 →（追記） 日本語担当のスタッフがおられます。サポートはしっかりしていて迅速に対応してもらえました。 ＜気になったところ＞ 1. LANケーブルの差込口がえらく硬いのでUSBコネクタ側で抜き差ししたほうが無難です。個体差？ →（追記） 個体差でした。メーカーサポートの代替品で確認。サポートに感謝。 2. コネクタが長めの形状で目立ちます。細いので携帯はしやすいです。 3. 添付のドライバCD（Windows およびMac 用）が8cmCDなのでフロントローディングのドライブでは使えません。サイトでダウンロードできるし、Chromebookでは要りません。 4. Windows RTとAndroid では使えません。ARMベース（例. NVIDIA Tegra 3）はダメみたい。気になるTegra K1のChromebookでは…？ 5. Logitec LAN-GTJU3 に似てるけど？ MACアドレスの先頭は8C-AE-4Cかな？でも仕様が違って使えないかも…。 ＜追記＞ 2015 0326 差込口が堅いとのストア購入レビューを見たとのことで、メーカーのサポートより、抜き差し確認済のLAN アダプタをわざわざアメリカから送ってもらえました。個体差だったようで調子はいいです。サポートに感謝。 参考まで。

Ich bin Softwareentwickler und Administrator. Ich brauchte ein USB Gigabit LAN mit Qualität. Große Datenmengen und Latenz spielen eine Rolle. Das Gerät sollte mir im Beruf und privat nützen. Ich habe dies gewählt aufgrund des Chipsatzes. Viele der parameter lassen sich bearbeiten und anpassen (gerade in Firmen braucht man die ab und zu). Viele Features sind unterstützt. Das ist kein Billig-Chip der die Performance nicht bringt. Sowohl unter Linux als auch unter Windows keine Probleme. Im Job bei der Entwicklung sind Zeitkritische operationen alsolut perfekt gemeistert, in der Administration Backups umherschieben in Windeseile. Keine Treiber nötig (bei meinen Anwendungsfällen), einfach einstecken, einrichten und los gehts. Nach den Tests hab ich den Adapter für meinen Compute Stick mit Kodi (auf ArchLinux) verpflichtet. Hochauflösende Videos von Netflix, Prime, Youtube, Twitch sind im Vergleich zu WLAN kein Problem mehr. Da der dort fest eingesetzt ist hab ich direkt noch einen zweiten mit USB A bestellt und wenn mein neuer Laptop die nächsten Monate verfügbar wird, werde ich mir den Stick auch mit USB C holen. Ich kann wirklich nur zu diesem Adapter raten. Wer etwas vernünftiges haben möchte ist gut beraten. Plugable bietet auch Kombinationen an mit LAN und weiteren USB Buchsen, für Laptop benutzer möglicherweise genau das geeignete. Das einzige was ich noch nicht getestet habe sind Konsolen wie die Wii U oder Switch, verweise aber auf die Erfahrungen in den anderen Rezensionen.

worked flawlessly for windows xp

Veramente poco da dire. Prodotto ineccepibile. Collegato alla porta USB 3 del mio notebook Honor Magic Book Pro, dopo pochi secondi era già pronto e lo speed test con Ookla mi ha dato un risultato di circa 800 Mbps. Cosa chiedere di più!. Vale ampiamente i soldi spesi.

If you are having problems running this adapter reliably when streaming heavy content, you need to configure Window's to rate limit the adapter instead of pulling the entire 1Gbp/s. Might be a problem since I have a rather old CPU (i7 7600u) and that is causing dropouts or driver restarts. Other than that the adapter works fine for 100% of content usage. Watching 1080p 60fps videos, downloading large datasets, cloning large github repositories (all simulataneously).
