    I first tested out on my Windows 10 laptop and confirm 800Mbps+ speeds with my AT&T 1Gbps internet connection. I currently have it connected on my Chromebook and works like a charm.

    Easy to install. Thankfully I didn't need to install anything because my new laptop doesn't have an ethernet plug nor a c.d./dvd player. My employer doesn't provide Wi-Fi in the area I work either.

    Initial use was plug and play like I would for work. After a day or so, it stopped working so I installed the drivers that came with the device. Getting good performance ever since.

    It works with the Wii U console. It's more expensive than the actual Wii U plug but it was what was available in our area.

    All you need to do is plug and play. No need to install or anything, the moment I plugged it in, my system ran. Not to mention it actually worked faster than anything else I have used.

    I thought I was taking a gamble on this as I bought it for a Linux PC whose internal ethernet card went bad. However, I just plugged it in and it started working immediately. Couldn't be simpler!

    Bought a computer that didn't have a Ethernet plugin and would rather be directly connected to the internet. Bought the Insignia USB3.0 and has been working great ever since. No problems with it at all.

    I just plugged it into the USB port of my PC and connected the Ethernet cable with internet. It was acting like a physical ethernet card seperate from existing one. Just perfect for the purpose.

    Product worked just fine after I installed the driver. It seems odd that such a simple device would require a driver, but that's what it is! Had a bit of a problem finding the proper site for downloading the driver.

    Plug it in and use an Ethernet cable, simple as that. My device, a Dell Inspiron 13 picked it up in less than 10 seconds and it was up and running on a wired network.
