- Pros mentioned:Speed
Fast connection but unreliable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.On windows 10 2004 update the connection nearly maxes out my 1 gig internet service but frequently drops internet. The only way to solve is to unplug the device and replug it in.

- Pros mentioned:Speed
Wi-Fi is faster ( 230 Mbps) than Adapter (70Mbps)
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I speed tested and adjusted All laptops and newer model (2017) . Newer model (2017) works faster and older models don't have USB type C. I guess I will keep it as back up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend You get what you pay for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used this to hardwire a tablet to an ethernet cable. It worked, but the connection was bad and the tablet regularly emitted loud sounds that were highly irritating. I upgraded to a $50 hub, and those sounds went away. If you are trying to find the right ports to hardwire your device without spending $400, this might be a good beginning, but for me it was not a final solution.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendCould not get Macbook to recognize LAN connection
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perhaps it is me, but I could not get my Macbook Pro to recognize the LAN connection. I have been using a wifi connection on my Macbook Pro (2017) and decided to see if a LAN connection would speed it up. I know the LAN connection is good because it is currently connecting my Roku. I followed all the set up steps per Apple but the Macbook could never "see" the connection. After a couple of hours of frustration I returned the adaptor. I guess the 200MBS wifi Iam getting is fast enough.

Randomly disconnects

Works great till it Dies
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It lasted less than 30 days. I'm sure it's just a defective unit, but still, it died after my return window. Now I'm stuck going through insignia's channels to get a replacement. Maybe I'll stop by a Best Buy store and make my case....but then again it's only a $30 adapter.

Randomly Stopped Working
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It stopped working within three to four months and I couldn't return it or anything because Best Buy gas a ridiculous 15 day return warranty. It has a one year warranty with the company, but you have to make sure you have the receipt still or you are out of luck.
