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

Received this today, and having had many ethernet to USB adaptors in the past, I liked the way that this one looked. When used with a samsung tablet, it was recognized right away and provided decent throughput speeds. Although, when connecting to a windows machine, the connection was spotty. I ran windows update and it pulled down the driver for the network adaptor, although even after that, and a reboot, the connection kept dropping. Unfortunately, I wouldnt purchase this again and would recommend looking elsewhere.

I took it out of the box and plugged it into my ethernet-less laptop and gave it a few seconds to configure itself. I then plugged up an ethernet cable and waited about 20-30 seconds for it to get the connection and give internet and I was then up and running. AWESOME!!!

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.

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.

It works. What more is there to say?

This excellent USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter works great! It was easy to install (there is no installation) and performs as advertised! I plugged it into my Windows 10 PC and it was recognized almost instantly and just worked. I then tried it on my Lubuntu laptop and again it was recognized instantly and worked flawlessly. I got this so I could transfer files more quickly across my home network than I can with WiFi. It will work perfectly for the task. The adapter feels solid and well built and appears to have a metal case over the ethernet end of it. It feels high quality. I like that. The only issue I have with it is the cord between the USB connector and the ethernet end feels a little stiff, but I think itll eventually become more flexible with use and it isnt going to break or anything. It feels firm, but it isnt too much of a flaw. Overall a great adapter at a great price!!

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.
