    If you have a Mac, do not buy this product. I have to reinstall the drivers every time I login or restart my computer.

    This adapter has worked flawlessly so far to provide wired internet access. Installation was automatic on Windows 10 and I get a gigabit connection when attached to a gigabit network. Very affordable and not too big.

    Installing it is a breeze, the only issue I had with it, is it kept disconnecting and I'd have to plug it into another USB about every 25-45 minutes. Sometime less then that. Not very reliable.

    Sadly, I had to purchase this due to the computer I had just purchased from Best Buy. Although it was supposed to, it did not have gigabit Ethernet capabilities.

    Great tool to add an ethernet connection to laptop without an NIC. Easy set up, just plug and go. Connected wtihout any problems. Need the USB 3.0 for good speed.

    This adapter comes in very handy while traveling. My tablet has a USB connection, so I can connect to the internet w/ an Ethernet cable if I have unreliable wifi.

    If PC lacks Ethernet port this adapter and accompanying software connects modem or other Ethernet device to PC's USB port. Adapter worked as described.

    My laptop did not come with an Ethernet port, but I like to connect directly to the network for faster download than using the wireless connection. Installation was quick and easy and works well.

    We tried to use this on MAC and it ended up turning off the wi-fi and we couldn't get it to come back on. When we called Apple they said not to use a non-Apple product.

    My new tower AMD A8 doesn't have a gigabit ethernet port (why HP?, why?). I bought this adapter to fix the problem and it is working perfectly.

    If you can't find a cheaper alternative, this should suit your USB-ethernet needs fine. Works for my Surface3Pro without issues. . .

    Bought this because our Ethernet card had burned out in our computer, and could not replace it. The unit only lasted 6 months before it died.
