  • QuestionIs this device compatible with a sonos powered speaker?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Thank you for your question. Our Insignia USB to Ethernet Adapter is designed to provide an Ethernet connection to devices with a USB port, primarily computers and laptops. However, Sonos powered speakers typically require a direct Ethernet connection or a Wi-Fi connection. Therefore, this USB to Ethernet adapter is not compatible with Sonos powered speakers. Sono's speakers are designed to receive network connectivity directly through their Ethernet ports or via Wi-Fi, not through a USB connection. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! - Mae | Insignia Support

  • QuestionWould this work to console into a Ruckus 7150 Switch to configure switch routing with a cat6 cable?

    Asked by AdminAnon.

    • Answer Thank you for your inquiry! To console into a Ruckus 7150 Switch, you typically need to use a console cable, which can be either a USB Type-C to USB cable or an RJ-45 to USB cable. The Insignia™ USB to Ethernet Adapter is designed for network connections and might not be suitable for console access, as it does not provide the necessary serial communication required for console ports. For configuring switch routing, you would need a console cable that matches the console port type on the Ruckus 7150 Switch. If your switch has a USB Type-C console port, you can use a USB Type-C to USB cable. If it has an RJ-45 console port, you would need an RJ-45 to USB console cable. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-usb-to-ethernet-adapter-black/6483535.p?skuId=6483535

  • QuestionIf i plug the usb part of the adapter into my modem and the ethernet cord from my ps5 into the ethernet part of the adapter will it make my online gaming connection better

    Asked by Lamb.

    • Answer Hi Lamb, The Insignia™ USB to Ethernet Adapter is designed to connect a USB-enabled device, like a laptop or desktop computer, to a wired Ethernet network. Unfortunately, it won't work if you try to connect it directly to your modem and then to your PS5. The adapter needs to be connected to a device with a USB port that can recognize and use the Ethernet connection. For improving your PS5's online gaming connection, I recommend connecting your PS5 directly to your modem or router using an Ethernet cable. This will provide a more stable and faster connection compared to Wi-Fi. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

  • QuestionCan I use it to connect it to my tv from my WiFi box ?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer The Insignia™ USB to Ethernet Adapter is designed to provide a wired internet connection for devices with a USB port, such as laptops and desktops. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for connecting a TV directly to your WiFi box, as most TVs do not have a USB port that supports Ethernet adapters. For connecting your TV to your WiFi box, you might consider using a direct Ethernet cable if your TV has an Ethernet port, or using a wireless connection if your TV supports WiFi. If you need further assistance or have any other questions, feel free to ask!

    Asked by Paul.

    • Answer I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing issues with your Insignia™ USB to Ethernet Adapter. Let’s try a few troubleshooting steps to resolve this: 1. Check the USB Port: Ensure the USB port you’re using is functional by testing it with another device. 2. Restart Your Device: Sometimes a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. 3. Update Drivers: Make sure your computer’s USB and Ethernet drivers are up to date. 4. Try a Different Device: If possible, test the adapter on another computer to see if the issue persists. 5. Inspect the Adapter: Look for any visible damage on the adapter or the cable. - If none of these step's work, the adapter might be defective. Please don't hesitate to reach out our Insignia customer service team (877-467-4289).

  • QuestionWill this work for my PlayStation 5

    Asked by Gio1665.

    • Answer It is unlikely that the Insignia USB to Ethernet adapter will work for your PlayStation 5, as it is not listed as a compatible accessory for the console as this works with Windows 10, Chrome OS 81 and macOS 10.12 systems. -Ed | Insignia Support https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-13-8-cu-ft-garage-ready-convertible-upright-freezer-with-energy-star-certification-stainless-steel/6336450.p?skuId=6336450

  • QuestionWill this work for me to connect my 2 laptops in order to transfer all my data from 1 laptop to another?

    Asked by mary7.

    • Answer No, the Insignia™ USB to Ethernet Adapter is used to connect a laptop or desktop computer to a wired Ethernet network for internet access. It is not designed for transferring data between two laptops. To transfer data between two laptops, you can use a USB flash drive, an external hard drive, a cloud storage service, or a direct Ethernet cable connection between the two laptops. - Mae | Insignia Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285
