    Does it's Job

    Pro's - fast and does what it is designed for with no trouble. Lightweight. Cons - a little pricey I think. Would love to have gotten it for 10 instead of 15. Gets a bit warm after about 15 minutes of use. But don't really see where that hurts anything. Just something I noticed.

    This item is a lifesaver. I needed an adapter for my ethernet cable because I work from home and need to be directly connected to the internet. My ethernet port stopped working on my lap top and I quickly bought this device to connect. Works perfectly!

    I discovered I needed to hardwire my internet connection to my laptop in order to improve my upload speed but it didn't have an ethernet port. The sales associate recommended this, and it did the trick. Works great!

    Needed a network adapter to add network capability to newer PC that did not have Ethernet port. Wifi was spotty so this was the ticket. Very pleased with the speed on this. Best Buy was the only store that had this and we needed it same day. BB came through as always.

    I had a project which required Ethernet connections between two devices and my laptop computer lacked a standard Ethernet port. I needed this adapter to be able to connect the laptop to an Ethernet network. This USB/Ethernet adapter worked perfectly right out of the box.

    i mean there really isn't much to say. Its an adapter for laptops missing the port. It does what its supposed to do. Not nearly as fast as a dedicated connection but it works just fine. I wouldn't game on it though.

    Most new computers don't come with ethernet ports anymore and well sometimes you would just rather be wired up. This product makes that possible. Worked how it should and didn't notice any performance differences from an on board ethernet adapter. Would recommend.

    It won't work on the Nintendo Switch

    Honestly considering it's not advertised to work on the Switch and the Answer's page on Best Buy's website has someone who said that it wouldn't work, I can now confirm that it won't work on the Nintendo Switch, but again it works great on my Surface Pro, so I'd say 4/5, works as intended.

    This little device allowed me to connect my laptop to my modem/router for initial home network setup. In the old days laptops had Ethernet ports on the back. Nowadays, the primary ports are USB. This adapter does the trick.

    the wifi at a friend's home was terrible, nothing like my own. I noticed he had an ethernet connection, my laptop did not have a connection, the Insignia adapter worked wonders to stop dropping the connection. I was so happy to be able to reach the internet

    I needed to check the Internet connection in my daughter's apartment. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on the product. Found this item as an "open box" item for a fraction of the price that a new one cost. Nothing wrong with it and it did exactly what I needed it to do.

    Use these to connect laptops to Allen bradley PLC's after the Ethernet port on the laptop was not functioning due to abuse in the factory. Works great, did have to set the device with its own IP to get it to work.....took some trial and error to figure out.
