    I purchased this because my MacBook air didn't have a socket for ethernet cable, but it was not compatible with my laptop. Maybe this will work with other brands, but it did not for my MacBook. Returned for another one.

    Frequently disconnects

    My internet connection occasionally disconnects/reconnects when using this adapter. Also, when I first wake up the PC the adapter is often unrecognized, and I have to unplug it/plug it back in. It uses built-in Windows drivers (I'm on Win11) so I can't update the driver. I've tried through device manager and windows update, no updated drivers are found.

    Are you tired of unstable Wi-Fi connections or sluggish internet speeds on your desktop or laptop? Look no further than the USB Ethernet Adapter. I recently incorporated this compact device into my setup, and it has drastically transformed my connectivity experience.
