    I know the max bandwidth for USB 2.0 is 480mbps while the average ethernet is gigabit, with that being said this dongle will at best run close to half the max supported speed. But to add a second network adapter or network ports to a laptop it does its job. I recommend this for its price but if you have local NAS devices or gigabit internet go for the USB 3.0 version.

    not much to say other than it worked as expected. Speed is good, plastic is a little cheap but once plugged in i do not expect to touch it again.

    If a power surge or lightning strike affect your on board built in Ethernet port then this device is for you.Had a client with 100 computers onsite and 5 computers after lightning hit the building lost ability to connect to network. Bought these and after install these older Dell's where back on network at full speed. Best part was that they were in stock at local Best buy rather than waiting 2 days for shipping. 2nd best part is when they retire older equipment part can be moved to new machines with USB 3.0 as backups.

    These are the only usb ethernet adapters I use. I lead a team of technicians that work on cameras, access control, security, and other systems for hospitals, executive buildings, and police stations. Reliability is the most important thing. This is the most reliable adapter available, and the price is great.

    This product works as intended, however the driver required to use the adapter has to be installed via disc and cannot be downloaded online. If your computer is new enough that it no longer has an ethernet port, it almost certainly won't have an optical drive either. Luckily I have an older iMac with an optical drive and was able to use remote disc to install, otherwise I would have had to return the adapter.

    The wireless connectivity in my son’s dorm room can be spotty so we got him this adapter for his laptop which does not have an Ethernet port. The dorm rooms offer an Ethernet connection, and this adapter allowed him to have a more reliable connection. He loves it, and it was delivered quickly. If you need an Ethernet adapter, this is a good choice. The Insignia brand is very reliable.

    The USB Ethernet adapter did the trick for us. We were experiencing trouble with our wireless internet and could not diagnose the problem using because we had no internet access. Therefore we purchased the USB adapter to connect to our home network via a cable easily. Once we did the diagnostics corrected the problem for us and we were back using our wireless internet again. It has also come in handy when downloading large files. I use it instead of going wireless to speed things up.
