    This adapter works great! New laptops don't have an Ethernet port, but if you want to be able to access your router and make changes you need a cabled connection. My Phone app didn't let me access all the stuff I wanted to update on my router, but this adapter saved the day!

    Bought to hard wire my Switch to router. Went from ~20mbps to ~80mbps with a far more stable connection for things like Mario Kart online.

    Needed this to connect my software defined transceiver to my PC. The connection had to be made through a usb port because the Ethernet port didn't work. This adapter saved me an expensive repair or more likely new motherboard.

    Somehow, my ethernet cable was hampering with my other ports (or vice versa) and my connect would disrupt frequently. This solved it! Speed improved just a tad bit

    Lack of ethernet ports on some laptops make this necessary if you want to hookup ethernet for any reason.

      Absolutely, Laud—modern laptops may be sleek, but that missing Ethernet port can be a real hassle. Glad this adapter is filling the gap for you when a wired connection is a must!
