Customer Ratings & Reviews

Affordable, functional and handy. A good combo of utility for a connector that allows wired connectivity when needed at home.

Due to the situation of COVID-19, I started working remotely at home. My work laptop did not have an Ethernet port and it became an issue because my WIfi didn't work well. I tried to find a USB-Ethernet adapter but only this product was available at my local Best Buy store. Ever since I started using it, my internet connection is always consistent and works very well with my laptop USB 3.0 port. I am very satisfied with it. I loved that it also included a CD installation (old school here) and it is compatible with my family Switch console!

I was ready to throw out my Gateway Netbook I got from Verizon when the ethernet port stopped working, and Verizon's tech support was useless addressing the problem. Then I saw this item and decided to try it. Great device that performs flawlessly. I have used it on my my Apple MacBook Air loaded with Mac OS X, my Compaq and Gateway netbooks loaded with linux and my Dell notebook loaded with Windows 10, and have not had any problems. It says it's USB 3.0, but it is backward compatible with USB 2.0 standard. My notebooks and netbook PCs are both over 5 years old, but it still performed well with them. I noticed no difference in performance between this device and the Compaq's built in ethernet port. Good device, and to me it is well worth the cost.

It works perfectly. It stabilized my connection during video meetings. There is absolutely NO glitching!

Small, light and easy to use. It comes with DVD for drivers but you probably will not need it. It works really nice with Windows as well as Mac. Product support from j5create is just awesome

Needed this for my old computer. The ethernet port went out and this worked well!

I had to wait for J5Create to make a driver for Sonoma, but once they did that, I was able to download the driver and install it. Once installed, I am getting the full speed of my IGB FiOS connection. I was hoping that no installation was required, but if you follow the instructions on their website, you'll get the adapter to work.

Affordable, easy to setup, nice color, and portable strong connect for any usb port to an exteral modem or smart tv.

This product is good for anyone who uses a laptop for their main point of operation, from working to streaming games this product actually does exactly what you need it to do. Of course, there are different options out there such as getting one like this with 3 extra usb ports on it. I love this product, and it is very convenient for any laptop user who needs a way to hard wire & connect to their router via Ethernet cable.

Worked well I’ve had it for a year now had not failed

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.

Wonderful for adapting my computer to my old equipment.

I bought this adapter so I could troubleshoot my modem but my laptop doesn't have an ethernet port. It connected quickly and gave me a fast connection. Ended up using it to help check my handmade ethernet cables and worked like a charm.

Reliable for years and easily configured to a static IP without a hassle.

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 ,

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

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.

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!

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!
