    Excellent for modern laptops lacking the ethernet adapter input port. Because sometimes you need the security of a wired internet connection.

    this is an essential for IT Admins who need to access a network to troubleshoot. Laptops that have ethernet are getting harder to find, so this comes in clutch and is a real time saver when you don't have the wifi password, or the signal doesn't reach to the basement where the network equipment is.

    Stable “Fast” Fortnite on Switch

    I wasn’t sure if this would work on my Nintendo Switch dock to add a wired connection, but I did a speed test on wi-fi and then on wired internet to compare and gained 20 Mbps! I did have to put my Switch to sleep to get it to recognize, but it worked great! Fortnite still looks like garbage on the Switch compared to an Xbox Series X, but at least the internet isn’t lagging.

    Easy to use and no set up needed. Used it for my Nintendo Switch that kept losing WiFi signal and this worked flawlessly. Never dropped out of an online session and downloads were so quick.

    Difficult to add to an older MacBook Pro that dosent have an App Store app and having to download the the web. The basic plug and play Ethernet adapter from Best Buy is a better option for easy and price without having to add an off site app to your Mac, taking vital storage of an older machine. Product does work nicly once getting past the somewhat time consuming process.

    Was an odd purchase for me, considering almost everything that needs a direct connected Internet has an Ethernet port, and that redundancy for Ethernet is available on almost every device I own even when it's not activated. However, with enough clients who have laptops and only limited USB ports dongle USB strips to their laptop for secure access This came in useful Plus, Best Buy sells high quality cable products. Not necessarily the best in the market However, consistent enough to satisfy the most stringent needs.

    I had a problem with my docking station at work. I was able to buy this USB connector for my laptop to directly connect the ethernet to it bypassing the docking station until it was replaced. This USB connector provided a nice workaround. If the same issue happens again, it will be on hand as a temporary fix.
