Amazon Basics Aluminum USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 Adapter, Plug and Play, Portable, No Drivers Needed, Gray, 1.97 x 0.83 x 0.59 inches

A small USB3.0 adapter, very well made casing. The signal light is white and some may find it too bright, but it can be covered by some semi-transparent tape if it bothers you. It works really well with my raspberry 5 adding an extra gigabit connectivity option. The performance is as expected, compatible with all my devices. The adapter device id is 0b95:1790. It is made in Vietnam and features AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet Controller chip made in Taiwan, so safe and easy to use.

I have a dell notebook computer connected to a dell docking station. they are, apparently, notorious for being lousy at connecting to a cat 5/6 cable for internet/networks. It was constantly disconnecting and causing me endless headaches, so I figured, hey, why not just connect it more directly to the notebook, which did not have it's own RJ45 jack. So I bought this and boom!! All fixed.

It works as advertised. Upgraded my provider Service to 500mbs. Then discovered my PC ethernet card was card was rated at only 100mbs. Solution was this device. Connection way easy. Plugged it in to a USB port and my Ethernet cable and bam!! 500+ mbs all day long. Problem solved. I'm using a windows 11 home version. No drivers needed. No reason have a new ethernet card installed or buy a new PC and pay big bucks to a repair center. I would buy this metal encased version rather than the plastic cased version, for a few dollars more. It is more sturdy.

Bought this to use with an OTG cable and my streaming device. Plugged it in and was recognized immediately. Don't have to rely on Wi-Fi to stream anymore. Only issue is the network light. That tiny little light that shows network activity. It's very bright. Looks like a thunderstorm behind my TV when the lights are out. Will probably get a tiny piece of electrical tape to cover it up.

This product works great. I bought a gaming computer and could only get 100mps while online, figured out that the built in lan card was holding me back, with this I now get my full gig speed.

great for Nintendo switch for faster internet speed

Why a unicorn? Because as far as I know there is no smart-TV that has a gigabit connection natively. And when streaming from my HTPC at 4k I was getting stutter despite the fact that my network is build around Gigabit connection and I've wired it using Cat 7. I had already purchased a USB-Gigabit dongle from a different vendor and while it worked for a while it was constantly loosing the IP address I had assigned. After checking the lease length and the MAC address reservation I gave up after several weeks. I will say that the vendor just gave me a full Amazon credit without any issues. This leads me to believe that they knew there was a problem. Since none of the dongles go into what chip sets they use I had to get creative in my search. I went about this by looking at the positioning of the network lights. If they were in the same place as the one giving me problem I passed on them. The other issue was the case material. The prior unit has a plastic case that would get very warm so I wanted one that had better heat dissipation. The led me to this one. I have had it connected to my network for over 2-months now and I have had 0 issues! Speed tests show at or close to 1 Tb speeds and I have yet to drop a connection. The only thing that is odd is that the MAC address is 02:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 which usually indicates a custom ROM. Since this isn't causing issue on my network I am ignoring it for now. All in all this is a cheap, well made, and stable network dongle to give your TV 1 Tb connectivity for streaming.

This is a plug and play component that uses a USB 3 connection to supply Ethernet to a PC or laptop that lacks an RJ45 jack. My gaming rig’s motherboard glitched its network adapter which lost my Ethernet connection. So, it’s time for an upgrade. I’m holding out until Microcenter has a good sale on motherboard combos (likely after thanksgiving), so I needed to shore my rig up until then. That’s why I bought this adapter. It does work well, however… It drops connection periodically. There’s no pattern to it. It only drops for a few seconds. But, when you’re in the middle of a raid on WoW or a serious frag fest, those seconds can seem like an hour! I can’t figure out what’s causing the drops. I’ve gone into device manager to check driver compatibility, rebooted my gateway, double checked my patch cable, checked Windows Update…. …nothing. So, I’m stuck with this, for now. It’s not a bad product, but if you’re on Windows 11, stand by. You may experience the same issue. For an emergency connection, this definitely fills the gap!
