Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently stayed at a small college for a conference. The college recommended using their Ethernet network in the dorm rooms rather than their wi-fi network for security. My Microsoft Surface laptop does not have a built-in RJ45 port, so I bought the J5Create Gigabit Ethernet adapter and a 14-ft Ethernet cable (CAT6). I followed the (easy) installation instructions that came with the adapter, and it worked like a charm. Provided gigabit Internet connectivity. No problems whatsoever, and I had the peace of mind that Ethernet gives me while at the conference.

My onboard LAN went out on my motherboard so I was faced with sending in my motherboard for warranty repair or simply plug this in and be back in business. Not much of a decision to make. I plugged it in to a USB port and was back online instantly. No difference in speed uploading or downloading. Works great and simple to install.

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

The adapter worked great with our Dell XPS 13 running Windows 10 Pro. This laptop didn't have an RJ-45 (network) port. The installation and setup was flawless and we were up and running in no time. The unit is robust, with a thick cord and flex shield, and the silver color was a nice bonus.

Product is great and works exactly as advertised. There is no difference between using this and using the regular plug.

Works very well. No issues, no need to download software for use.

This worked excellently to migrate a new surface pro to our corporate domain (surface pro has no NIC for wired LAN) effortless driver install and works arguably better than my lightning network adapter on my MAC- the network status lights are exceptionally handy when trying to troubleshoot network problems.

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

This gizmo just works, which is amazing. Apparently USB can do almost anything and it is capable of GIGABIT speeds, my connection to the internet feels very fast. I am very happy with this unit, well made, the company makes other outstanding adapters, worth every penny, I am glad I bought this brand.

Wonderful for adapting my computer to my old equipment.

I was not sure if the little guy works or not ... but , its huge . I got a Macbook pro with Thunderbolt 2 . But this usb , works much faster . I get my full 1GB/1GB from fiber optic which I have on Fios . I wish I could give it 10 Star

Works great, i've had no problems with it at. Easy to use.

I am happy with the ease of install and the performance. We did not think our son would need an Ethernet option on his college laptop because they have Winfield throughout the campus but it the dorm the wi fi signal is week at times and he can not get access. So I bought this devise and he has no issues now.

I have been putting it off for too long so I shall give a short review. This is The Best Performing USB to Ethernet adapter I have worked with/owned. If you have both 2.0 and 3.0 ports on the same PC try both ports just to verify performance. I have seen some PC's with just marginal increases in speed while others were obviously faster. Using various Speed Tests that are available do not seem to help in consistently. any feedback is welcome...GrandNationalMike

Bought for my son's laptop. When I bought the laptop I didn't realize that it didn't have the slot for the Ethernet cable. Found this, picked it up, and had it working in less than 5 minutes. No issues with speed so far.

Works great, just plug in and you’re all set. Setup was very easy!

Works as expected. Very simple to use and apparently widely supported. Even supported on relatively niche applications like FPGAs.

Got it within the store. Was a simple as plugging in a cord and plugging the ethernet cable. Recommended

I was in need of a new network card but didn't want to spend the money. I saw this and it was easy to use and connected m right away. Excellent value.

Works great!. I just switched to Gigabit and this adapter pulls down the packets as fast as it get's them. One thing I might recommend is that people buy powered USB hubs so that the heat generated by these busy devices can be pulled away, especially for laptops. I had fast thumb drives, external SSDs and devices like this one generate a LOT of heat. A powered hub with save your battery and pull away the heat. A very good USB adapter and also a common chipset so drivers aren't a problem.
