    Worked fine when testing on my desktop. Couldn’t get this to work in my laptop. I have used usb Ethernet adapters before and this one wouldn’t work. I attempted to download drivers from manufacturers website, but still wouldn’t work.

      Please have full admin rights when downloading and completing the installation process. Once the installation is finished, connect a Ethernet cable to the adapter and the other end of the Ethernet cable to a modem or router. Go to your Ethernet setting and you should see AX88179. ** If you require further assistance; please contact the j5create Technical Support team and they will be glad to further assist if necessary.

    Built well. Casing is metal. I am not sure overtime how this will work as I haven't tested it over time. Issue with these adapters is that they go bad quick. So far, my hopes are up on this one.

      Proper functionality entails downloading and installing a driver on a Windows or Mac platform. Depending on the OS you have, different instructions apply. Make sure computer is up to date such as software, drivers, BIOS, etc by visit your manufactures website in their Support section. Being behind on updates could cause the j5 device to not function as intended. j5create

      Obtaining both a more secure, reliable internet connection is part of the deal when using the JUE130 - supporting up to 1 gigabyte speeds make this a top seller.

    It did it's job for a while honestly about 4 weeks and then it gave out I'm not happy it slowed my entire work down and I feel as if I'm going to be forced to get a new type of connection that can finally maintain the "big strenuous load" of a 2015 Macbook air running on a entire wifi network ALONE mind you .I have had 3 of them and it will even fail on a 2021Apple products not to mention the exceptionally faster failures on PC respectfully.yeah not cool but get a new one and it works fine smh all cool until boom
