Works great! Easy to install!
||Posted .Works great! Very easy to install!! Comes with CD to install. Only gave 4 stars due to had to call the company to get directions on how to download off the internet to install since my computer does not have CD Drive and the directions do not tell you if you are able to download to get it installed. I would have given it 5 stars. Company Customer Service was great and got it installed right away.

Box is labeled incorrectly, Insignia
||Posted .Box says 10 gbps in multiple places. And even if this was a 10 Gbit/sec ethernet interface, USB 3.0 is only 5 Gbps. Aside from this it works great, plug and play and is a good value!

Needed it right away
||Posted .Just what I needed to connect my laptop to the modem. Easy to use. Plugs in quickly. Wished it was a little less expensive. I guess that's what one pays when one needs it right away.

Works perfect
||Posted .Not a lot to say about an adapter. It works as designed and I use it every day. I never liked white as a cable color but whatever.

Beware! Will break your Mac
||Posted .I lost ALL networking capabilities when I Installed the driver for this on my 2015 MacBook Pro running MacOS High Sierra. Wifi wouldn't work, ethernet wouldn't work. Complete loss of connectivity. After I got it yesterday morning, I spent the rest of the day trying to recover from the driver installation. What a terrible way to spend a Saturday. The Geek Squad technician at my local Best Buy spent over an hour trying to fix the problem. Nothing she did would work. I had to reinstall the operating system to get my networking back. Save yourself the pain and get something else!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Q: QuestionCan I use this to hard wire my smart tv to the internet?My daughter is having trouble with her university's wireless access on her smart TV. Her friend was able to wire an Ethernet cable to her TV and it works much better. My daughter's smart TV doesn't have an Ethernet port, but it does have a usb port. We were hoping this adapter would allow her to get hardwired network access for improved performance.

- A:Answer No this will not work on a smart tv. The usb port associated with the TV doesnt have the ability to recognize this as a networking device. The usb port is configured for viewing media which is a completely different protocol. I hope this helps.

Q: Questionwork with acer google chromebook?Will this work for wifi only acer google chromebook, also does it just plug in and ready without installing anything else?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I installed this on a windows 7 machine. I expected the drivers to just be loaded. Then realized that I was not connected to the internet and the operating system did not have the driver. After using the included CD it started working. Conclusion, Drivers are necessary. The box with the CD says drivers for a PC (windows) or a MAC are included.

Q: QuestionWhy does the orange light constantly blink?
Asked by WSB.
- A:Answer There are two lights, one for link, the other for data. The light blinks to show that data packets are moving. The one lit all the time is telling you that you have a valid physical link to the network
