Need to install the driver with CD

I don't have wi-fi so I needed the usb adapter for the internet connection. My apple macbook air had the thunderbolt cable, but apparently it did not work with my router (apple should fix this problem), so I had to spend another 25 dollars to purchase this usb adapter for the internet cable. Then it still did not work without the drivers and since the Macbook air does not have a CD-drive, I had to go back to Geek Squad to use their CD-drive to install the CD with the software drivers for the Insignia adapter to work. The previous day, the geek squad guy had tested the usb adapter with a Belkin model, which automatically worked. So if you don't have a Cd-drive, then its probably best to buy the more expensive Belkin usb adapter, since the Macbook has the belkin drivers automatically installed without the need to download the drivers from the cd-rom.

When the Ethernet port on my laptop failed, this device allowed me to continue with hard-wired internet access at home and work thru a USB port. This product performs as advertised and is a good solution for anyone lacking an active Ethernet port.

Very simple and easy to use. Most of new machines don’t have ethernet port built in this is a useful device in an emergency like activating modem or connect laptop directly to wired network.

I purchased this to repair a failed ethernet connection on the motherboard of one of my desktop PCs. It was an easy, quick fix and works great!. Bought a second for a PC that did not originally have an onboard ethernet port.

We lost power and out WiFi was fired and it fried something in our computer and our computer friend told us to get this first before replacing the whole computer. Works great and it’s what we needed for sure.

Sometimes you can face a situation where you need extra ethernet port, this is the quick answer for that situation. Plugging it to a different USB port might reset the port assignment.

When wirelss connectivity is not as good as you need and an ethernet connection is available this is the way to go. It compensates for my laptop not having an ethernet port. Works great.

I am happy with the performance of the product but should not have been required to download driver to get it to work. It should have been up to date in the product packaging.

Great little adapter. My network card got zapped in the last storm and my ethernet port on my pc did not work. Because of this, I no longer need a network card on my pc. This plugs directly into the usb port and gives me internet.

We needed to connect a computer to the Internet immediately after the internal ethernet cord sale. This cable device from Best Buy was not only easy to install, it provided a faster connection than what the internal card had provided.

I needed an Ethernet adapter and bought one a few months prior to this one which just didn’t work well. This one works consistently and I am very satisfied. My new computer didn’t have an Ethernet port.

I never knew this product existed and this saved me a lot of money on repair or perhaps even having to buy a new computer. Lightning fried the Ethernet port and this worked great.

This device allowed me to plug my laptop that has no Ethernet port into my router so that I could get direct internet access when my laptop glitched on me. So thankful for devices like this.
