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.

I go to school online and got the surface pro which can't be hardwired. But this device changes one USB port to a ethernet line so I can be hardwired.

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.

I was out of town on business and needed an Ethernet dongle. This one worked right out of the box. No Issues. Representative that helped me was friendly and knowledgeable.

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.
