Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great. Handy - very small to keep in my laptop bag without taking up a lot of space and without being heavy. Although I don't usually need to use it all of the time, it's great to have for when I do need it. In fact, just a few minutes before seeing the request from Best Buy to do a review of this, I was in a situation where I was downloading something from the Internet onto my laptop using the home's Wi-Fi, and I was in a corner of my home where the Wi-Fi signal is very weak and the large download was taking a much longer time to complete. There was a network cable outlet in the wall next to the laptop, and I had a network cable, but my laptop doesn't have a built-in network cable input. So, I went looking for my j5create Ethernet adapter to hook up everything, and downloaded the file much faster now that it was being downloaded through a hard-wired connection. So, it was actually a life-saver for me right before I started to write this review.

Great speed and easy install (download the driver, install it, plug adapter, done!)

My dad’s Ethernet port on his CPU was fried after a storm due to the old outside copper Ethernet line around our house. Water became trapped inside that old line because the wire covering was old; and that water filled line was a perfect path for lightening to destroy his Ethernet port. Happily, Best Buy had this and so I brought it home and just plugged it into an empty usb port on his CPU… and now he has an Ethernet port and internet again! So easy! An excellent purchase! Thank you Best Buy so much!

It works great. easy to connect and doesn't take long to load. Not expensive and worth the money.

Well...it actually turned out to be the wrong item for what I was looking for... (needed ethernet to type c, that'll teach me to read the labels lol) But! The j5create customer service team is one of the finest I've encountered. Diana, the employee who helped me out that day, recommended the brand to me, saying it was generally better quality; though I never actually got to test that out, I'm gonna guess she was right on that one!

This is a Fast adapter and it is small as well. It should get a much stronger connection than wifi so I love it.

Needed this due to no Ethernet port in my laptop. Needed to plug in direct to modem for quicker speed. Absolutely works and install was a snap with Windows 10. Highly recommended ,

works great. functional and durable. met the need.

I bought this to replace a bad Ethernet port on my desktop. The PC does have usb 3.0 ports so this was the easiest fix. (prefer a wired connection on this desktop for frequent data transfers from a NAS). Pros - I can not provide raw data at the moment, but the connection is faster than the original Ethernet. Easy to install, no opening case to replace a NiC. Best Buy in store online order pickup was quick and efficient and I did not have to wait for UPS. Cons - Once in a while I turn on PC and the drivers for this device fail to load. Rebooting has always solved the problem. (Going to run HDD diag to ensure failing drive is not the issue here)

My older desktop PC ethernet and Wi-Fi speeds were limited to 10/100 Mbps. I purchased the USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter hoping it was backwards compatible with my older USB 2.0 port. Glad I did. Even with the limitations on my 2.0 port the adapter provided an increase to my internet speed 5 times greater than my original equipment. Easy to install, just plug and play with Windows 10. No drivers to install separately.

This is a super easy to use USB to Ethernet adapter. It is pretty much driverless since it will work with multiple types of devices without needing any software to be downloaded. We used it to replace a bad adapter on an Accuson Bonsai echo machine and it was picked up and worked right away even though the OS on echo machines is heavily locked down. Its easy. It works. Get it!

It works as advertised. Plug and play. USB 3.0 but works in 2.0 as well.

I bought an 8th Intel i5 generation HP Envy laptop and the laptop is very slim so we can't connect the Ethernet cable for internet at the office. this little device is the perfect adapter for that purpose: just plug-and-play and you're all set to connect with the Ethernet cable. and also small enough to carry around in the laptop slim case.

This a great network dongle. Very fast and consistent

Purchased it for my HP Pavilion as it does not come with the USB C port I had to go with the USB A instead and besides Amazon Best Buy was my only other option but Amazon was not available instantly so I looked up on Best Buy and the store near me was showing one in stock so I copped it. Works as designed and still going strong.

I bought this specifically for my Nintendo Switch as an alternative to the officially licensed adapter from Horizon. I was skeptical because it wasn’t licensed officially but because the box said it was compatible with the switch , I took a gamble. It works exactly as intended , letting me maintain a stable connection with no setup at all. I’m satisfied.

It enables my Laptop computer to have a quicker & stronger connection to the internet & wifi. It is valuable. My laptop needs this Ethernet Adapter.

This works great for laptops that don't have built-in network ports. Just plug-and-play, didn't have to setup or install anything. I just wish they had the black one in stock when I got mine. ;)

I love the j5 products. This worked with my MacBook air. I also have a USB to HDMI adapter and it works phenomenally.

This is one of the few products that I have found that carefully and explicitly outlines the OS environment it supports. I have found over the years that all Microsoft OSes are not alike, and that certainly holds true in the transition from windows 8 to windows 10. This adapter should put your mind at ease because it not only supports Windows 10 in its documentation, it performs that support flawlessly.
