    I purchased a more expensive adapter that kept disconnecting. I returned it for this less expensive adapter and was very happy. I've had no disconnection issues and zero latency. Highly recommend.

    My motherboard on my desktop gaming PC was not working so I purchased this adapter and thankfully it fixed the issue! You will need a open USB 3.0 port to support the bandwidth that 1 gbps needs.

    The Insignia™ USB to Ethernet Adapter in black has been a fantastic addition to my setup. If you need reliable wired network access on a device without an Ethernet port, this adapter delivers exactly what you need with no fuss. Right out of the box, setup was plug-and-play on both Windows and macOS — the adapter was recognized instantly, and I was connected in seconds. The solid build quality gives confidence that it will hold up through regular use, and the compact design makes it easy to take with you for travel or mobile work. Performance has been consistently strong. I’ve experienced steady, fast network speeds without drops or interruptions, which makes a noticeable difference when transferring large files or joining video calls. It’s a simple solution, but it works reliably every time. For anyone who needs a dependable Ethernet connection via USB, the Insignia USB to Ethernet Adapter is a smart and affordable choice. I’m very pleased with the performance and convenience it provides.

    Got this as a replacement for a bad mobo nic. It was for a user that is not the most tech savvy. Was able to tell them to plug into one of the same ports that looks like what there mouse is plugged into based on a picture from the user. No drivers needed and internet began working immediately. Good in a pinch. Can recommend and almost anyone could use it without technical experience. Better than adding in a PCIe replacement that requires the computer case to be opened.

    It’s as simple as plugging in. It works without the need for any other software or updates of any sort. Just plug and play, it’s simple as that. I got it for my Surface Pro because it does not have a port for Ethernet and this adapter worked perfectly. Compact and light so it doesn’t add much weight to my laptop.

    Needed this in a hurry for work as I lost the ability to connect to wifi and my Zbook does not have an Ethernet port. Couldn’t be anymore simple to use, it’s small and did exactly what I needed it to do. Price was perfect too! Also ordered online and it was ready to be picked up in no time at all, definitely an added bonus!
