      The USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is intended to connect to a computer with an available USB Type-A port and connect an Ethernet cable to the adapter and the other end to a modem or router. The Ethernet Adapter will also require an installation of a driver for proper functionality. Will not work if the adapter is connected to a TV and Ethernet cable to a modem or router. j5create

    Mine does not work I have to adjust it for 30 minutes to get it to work every time I turn on my laptop it's ridiculous it seems sturdy metal and thick cable but it doesn't work as it should. And it's been 15 days and I can't return or exchange it for the same thing should have waited for the walmart one instead.

    Do not purchase any of the following J5create products if you are running Big Sur 11 or higher on a Mac. Their current drivers will not support these items. Very disappointing. JCA374 JCD376 / 381 JCE131 JCH471 JUA370 / 375 JUD380 / 480 / 481 / 530SE / 531 JUE120 / 125 / 130 / 230 JUH470

    Purchased this because it was the only usb to ethernet adapter the store stocked that wasn't usb-c. Yes, it "works" but not well and not for the purpose I had intended: adding GB wired ethernet to a new TV purchase (TV ethernet ports are 10/100 MB not GB). Uses an obscure/uncommon chipset not recognize by android/android TV (intel, realtek, broadcom , etc chip-based adapters do work). Also shipped with no drives, so many users needing it for network access wouldn't be able to get driver if it is not recognized. Would not buy again, would instead wait a couple days for online delivery of a better product for the same price.

      The USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is intended to connect to a computer with an available USB Type-A port (USB 3.0 is recommended) and an Ethernet cable to a modem or router. This Adapter requires an installation of a driver for Windows or Mac platform. Will not work if wanting to connect directly to a TV via Ethernet port. j5create

    I have an IMAC and it would not work on a Mac computer. The program kept asking for a Microsoft PC, which I do not have. Borrowed a usable adapter from a friend. I still have the adapter and the package it came in. If anyone needs one, just let me know. You pay the postage and it's yours. Max Stevens.

    This item is misleading.. It stated you would download upto 1gbm which it doesnt even download or upload greater than ten mbs.. I did send in a ticket to the customer service who sent me to a link to update drivers which didnt change anything.. Would of returned it, but my time is more valuable than $20 of aggravation.. I would not recommend this item to my enemies..

      RKBA101, We regret to hear about the slow speeds you experienced with the JUE130. This could be due to different factors such as the incorrect Ethernet cable, being behind on updates, and more. In order to narrow down the root of the issue, we recommend contacting the support team mentioned on the casing, a rep will be more than happy to lend helping hand and offer solutions. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope we can still turn things around.

      Hello Alex, we are sorry to hear that the JUE130 wasn't working as intended. If the device was for a Mac with Big Sur, unfortunately we do not have a driver as of yet. If it was for a Mac not running Big Sur or a Windows platform, it could have been a defective unit. Please call in and a representative will gladly do an exchange process with you. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to hear from you, j5create j5create

      Hello and thank you for your input. Subject to the operating system you have, the JUE130 may be a plug-and-play. If you are wishing to use the JUE130 with a Mac, we advise you to contact the support team and a specialist will be glad to talk you through the whole process. I apologize for the frustration this caused. The CD is actually an older driver version and it can be misleading - we sincerely apologize for the confusion there. Please feel free to reach to us via email, chat, or phone and we'll gladly assist.
