Pros
- Cost! Nintendo wants to charge you $30 for a USB Ethernet adapter.
- Works right out of the box with Nintendo Switch! I initially set it up utilizing one of the two USB ports on the side of the Switch Loading Dock. But for testing purposes I switched it to the USB port in the back next to the HDMI cable and it WORKED!
- I was able to statically assign the the IP, Subnet, Gateway, and DNS without any problems using the Switch Internet interface.
- No problems setting up a DHCP reservation for this card

Cons
- I wish it was 1000/100/10 instead of just a 100/10

Other thoughts
- I did not need to use the driver disk and I have not tested this device in a Windows environment because it was intended for use with the Nintendo Switch.

Stable internet on nintendo switch. I ran over 100 tests wlon wireless, 5g wireless and this wired connection on nintendo switch. My baseline connection on wired pc and phone on 5g was Regular 60-65mbps down and 6mbps up. Nintendo switch results. wireless was between 8 and 11mbps down and 3 up. 5g was 28 to 42mbps dowb and 4.5 and 5.1 up. Wired with this unit was 37 to 40 down and 5.0 to 5.2 up. Bottom line it made the connection more consistent and faster up than 5g. My wireless router is about 5feet from the switch with direct line of sight.

I had this same experience with an AmazonBasics USB 3 adapter, which I returned. And I will return this one, and eek out my technical needs with a few of these things I have lying about from another age, apparently when they used to work.

Thu 2/08/2018 7:06 am. ADAPTER OK; WINDOWS BROKEN

I grovel in shame before these innocent adapters, because I FORGOT important Windows mumbo-jumbo I should've remembered.

1. Whenever you plug-in a new usb/ethernet adapter, windows obliterates your ethernet parameters and sets them to a default.

2. If you then plug-in the old one, Windows *remembers* its settings, producing the behavior described above.

3. Most (?) system will work with this casual destruction.

4. Some won't, including my peer-to-peer fixed numeric address ethernet.

5. Once I remembered, fixing the ethernet settings wasn't hard, but much too lengthy for here. Try googling for "windows ipv4 settings".

I have a first generation Nintendo Wii that I have not used in years. Back when I purchased it in 2006 I used a wireless USB D-Link Adapter that seemed to work just fine. For whatever reason that wireless adapter does not work anymore. I've been meaning to download a game or two from the Wii Virtual Console Shop but I couldn't get online. I looked on amazon and found this USB adapter. As soon as I got it I plugged it in and bam! I was updating the Wii software and downloading Yoshi's Story for the N64. Sweet.

This little adapter comes packaged well in a cute little box. It includes an instruction manual (not that you need it because it's plug and play) that contains instructions in Spanish, Italian, Japanese, French, Dutch and English. It comes with a 3.5 inch CD-ROM with drivers for that rare person who's still using a dinosaur for a computer.

As said previously, it's plug and play. There's nothing else to do besides plugging into your USB connection and you are done.

Buy if:

-You have a Wii/Wii-U that you want an internet hard line for
-You have a defected LAN port on your laptop / game console / Motherboard

I use this with my Nintendo Switch. My switch sometimes struggles with my house wifi and this adapter worked perfectly to give it a lan connections.

It works.

My laptop doesn't have an Ethernet port (thanks, Apple), so I had to buy this USB adapter. Just plug in and go - no software needed. Small and lightweight, tiny LEDs light up when active. Minus a star because the 10/100 side of it is a tad loose and sometimes the cable slides out and I lose connection. Otherwise works like a charm.

Product arrived on time.
Fortunately I bought 2 of these adapters. The first one I used worked and is still working. When i went to use the 2nd adapter it is broke and not working. Its past the return period and really needs to be replaced for being defective. Hit and miss on the items for me; 50/50. Gave 2 stars due to 1 worked, arrived on time, but no more stars than that because the other adapter is a nice paper weight now.
UPDATE: The company reached out to me and offered tech support. We went through a few troubleshooting steps for the adapter to double check. It was still unresponsive and not working. The company sent out a replacement immediately and arrived in 2 days. Thank you for your help and response to my problem. Both adapters work great and will use the company in future for more purchases. Thank you again.

My 32 inch TCL Roku TV 32S3700 decided to stop connecting to wifi no matter what I did. I bought this, hit the reset button on the back of the tv, plugged this in the USB port, and after about 15 seconds it connected via the ethernet cable. So happy this little, inexpensive, gem did the trick!

Ich hab den Adapter für meine Switch gekauft. Was soll ich groß schreiben.

Installation = nur einstecken Netzkabel vom Router dran Ende. Man muss weder in den Einstellungen etwas machen , noch ist irgend etwas anderes nötig! Bei mir war W-Lan eingestellt, als ich den Adapter eingesteckt habe und das Lankabel vom Router, hat die Switch automatisch alles erkannt und ich musste rein gar nichts machen !
Ich hab mal ein paar Bilder angehangen um zu zeigen WO ich das Teil eingesteckt habe und was ich in den Menüs dann angezeigt bekomme.
Statt dem W-Lan Symbol ist nun ein Kabelsymbol eingeblendet. Wie geschrieben. Die Switch macht alles selbst. Man muss NICHTS in den Einstellungen ändern WENN man vorher bereits Internet über W-Lan eingerichtet hat!

Ich hoffe ich konnte damit anderen Switch Besitzern helfen :) Wenn ja würd ich mich über ein Klick auf dem Hilfreichbutton freuen.

Sicherlich mag das jetzt nicht jeden interessieren aber ich denke für einige ist diese Info durchaus wichtig. Es ist ja bekannt das die neue Nintendo-Konsole nicht das beste wlan hat. Es gibt offizielle aber sehr teure Produkte, und eben dieses hier. Hinten angeschlossenen, LAN-Kabel rein und das wars. Funzt perfekt! Ich kann Es für diesen Zweck nur empfehlen!

Great purchase. As a uni student, I bought a wireless printer for my room. Only to find that it won't allow connection to an enterprise network (which the uni wifi runs on). This meant I had to connect with the printer directly with my Macbook computer on a private wifi signal, rendering my Macbook useless as I can't be connected to two wifi hotspots at once (if I was connected to the printer I can't access the internet, if I connected to the uni wifi I can't print from my computer), it made it impossible to print online sources. However, if I could connect my computer using ethernet, all problems would be solved. Until I realised Apple weren't kind enough to put ethernet ports on their Macbooks...
I attempted purchasing a thunderbolt-ethernet adaptor...it was the wrong thunderbolt type :/ Tried to find a USB-ethernet adaptor that promised high speeds, didn't cost the earth and wasn't too bulky. This product hit all those marks and I'm still using it now without any faults and the speed is great. It also doesn't get ridiculously hot, operates silently and works straight out of the box. No need for software or anything, plug the ethernet in and plug the adaptor into the USB port and it's working instantaneously.

Got this for my Nintendo Switch and my MacBook pro, both of which sadly do not have an ethernet cable port.

I decided to get this adaptor and it worked like a charm.

The adaptors works straight out the box and has drastically reduced my switch download times and the internet speed on my MacBook pro.

This isn't the cheapest adaptor on the market, but for the quality and for how sturdy it seems to be built, I highly recommend it :)

5/5

( Click “Helpful” if this helped ^__^ )

I am having what appears to be a common problem with the new Switch - it refuses to see any wireless networks no matter what I do with it. Particularly given that any fix is likely to be delivered via the internet, I decided to give up trying and get a USB/Lan adapter, and opted for this one.

The adapter is very impressive for the price, and very nicely presented; it comes in a small cardboard box with a protective plastic film over the LAN end. I plugged it into the Switch, connected the LAN cable and at last had internet. Excellent!

Wir haben dieses Gerät vor etwa 4 Monaten gekauft. Kurz danach bekamen wir wiederkehrende, immer häufiger auftretende Internet/Router Probleme. Mal lief das Netz, mal nicht. Mehrfach kam ein Techniker von Unitymedia. Nachdem der Router (FritzBox) immer wieder von selbst re-bootete, wurde er sogar ausgetauscht. Leider ohne Erfolg, der Neue machte die selben Probleme. Als wir alle Kabel vom Router abzogen, lief er brav. Und als dann dieser LAN-Adapter dran gesteckt wurde, kamen die Probleme wieder und das Netzwerk brach zusammen.

Also Achtung: Anscheinend kann ein so kleines Gerät, wenn es defekt ist, mehr Probleme verursachen als dass nur das angeschlossene Notebook kein Netz hat.

Nachtrag:
Der Service hat mich aufgrund dieser Rezension angeschrieben und mir erst ein neues, funktionierendes Gerät angeboten, dann von sich aus das Geld zurück erstattet. Mit meiner Rezension wollte ich nicht vor dem Kauf des Gerätes warnen sondern berichten was passieren kann wenn man ein defektes erwischt. Und welchen Ärger man damit haben kann.

Yes it was great when I first got it but after the most recent Windows 10 update my download speed has dropped from 13 to 2. I had BT check and it was my side of the router hub. Then I discovered that it was only the Windows 10 machine not any of the other earlier versions of Windows on several other machines that was affected. The strange thing is that it did not affect my upload speed. On checking descriptions for this device I discoger a discrepancy regarding whether it should be USB two or three specification for the port. Perhaps it's not as compatible as it first appers.

Bought it for a laptop that was struggling for a Wi-Fi signal, and it works perfect. Like many laptops, mine didn't have an Ethernet port, so this was a no-brainer. It comes with a disk and instructions, but I just plugged it in, connected the Ethernet cable, and everything worked perfectly straight off.

Recommended! :)

I sometimes wonder if device manufacturers have ever actually seen a modern laptop? There's always something in networked wireless devices that goes "in case of problems, plug this into your computer's ethernet socket", but it's many years since I bought anything with an ethernet socket. Anyway, this little feller very nicely bridges the gap between the last century and this one. You might only need it rarely, but it's a lifesaver when you do.

My Acer Swift laptop has no ethernet port, and it's not always great at wireless connectivity. This little adapter worked straight out of the box without requiring any driver installation (on Windows 10) from the supplied mini-CD, which is handy as the Swift doesn't have a CD drive either.

I plugged it in to a spare USB port, connected the ethernet cable to it, and bingo, a solid connexion to my home router.

Well worth the modest price.

Works well with 2nd generation fire stick enables an ethernet connection rather than wifi would highly recommend easy to do but you also need a otg cable adapter which goes into fire stick power output then use power output from cable then USB ethernet plug in ethernet lead into adapter job done

This product starts off really well. Easy to install for my purposes, seems solidly well made. But after approximately 2-3 months, the product seemed to enter a sort of disabled mode periodically, where no traffic would go through it, and the link light flashed once per second. Only disconnecting from USB to reset it would fix the issue. I do not believe it is based on a poor connection as in my case, nothing even moved during that time period. I think there must be a component with a very limited lifespan inside the unit. Anyway, it's worthless now so I've had to purchase a different item; I can't see any way to get my money back here so my advice is to save yours and perhaps look at the Plugable series instead.

I purchased this network adapter to work with an Asus Chromebit that was having trouble connecting to the wireless network in our home. Not having used an USB Ethernet adapter before I was worried that it might be a pain to get working with the Chromebit, but purchased it because it mentioned Chromebooks in the product title and had lots of good reviews.

When it arrived I plugged it straight into an unpowered USB Hub connected to the Chromebit and then plugged in an ethernet cable which was coming from a homeplug. I probably shouldn't be so surprised, but it just worked! Chrome found the ethernet connection and switched off the wireless automatically. Whilst I haven't tested the speed of the connection through this adapter, it's not flagged with anything we've asked of it so far, so I'm really happy with this inexpensive little device.

Another plus for this adapter is the simple and easy to get into cardboard packaging that it comes in. More companies should be doing this!

I didn't hold out much hope for this, I had tried things like this before and they never seemed to quite work. I received the box with a disc in it, that was the first issue with installation, I needed this for something that doesn't have a disc drive, so I had to find one that I could plug in (the UGreen website has a list of downloadable drives but it is not well designed and quite confusing). Once I had done that I found the disc wouldn't work, telling me that I was using the wrong OS file (I wasn't), but I kept clicking and finally it said OK I'll install now.
And that was the last of any problems, I attached the adapted to the USB port, held my breath as I inserted the Ethernet cable......and it just worked!!

An upgrade to a newer machine bought many plusses and a few surprises. No ethernet port was one of them. I prefer being hardwired to the network when at home so I bought this and an Anker mini usb hub. Plugged them in and hey presto. fully functioning fast ethernet once more. Just what was needed. Product feels durable and well made and so far has been flawless. We move a LOT of data over the network and so far no glitches.
