QuestionMy mouse and keyboard are wired and plug into USB ports, when I use this adapter it cuts out the mouse/keyboard functionality making them spotty at best and unusable. Anybody experience this? any help would be appreciated.
Asked 2 years ago by RAY.
- Answer I have a 2018 vintage Lenovo Thinkpad L480 laptop. My use case is a little different. I have a wireless mouse adapter in one (USB 2) port and this LAN adapter in a (USB 3) port. No issues -- i.e. interference between the wireless USB mouse and the USB LAN adapter. What kind of desktop/laptop do you have?

QuestionNow, will this work going from WiFi to my Roku TV? Thanks in advance I hope. For Streaming. I'm old, and so is my Roku TV. It's not 1 way, meaning that it only goes from HDMI to Ethernet is it? Wondering... Thanks, Knob
Asked 1 year ago by Knob.
- Answer Hi Knob, Yes, it will work. At the back of your TV locate the Ethernet port. Connect an Ethernet cable coming from your router or modem to the TV. On your Roku TV, press on your remote to open the main screen. Scroll down and select Settings. Press the right arrow button and select Network.
