Cable Matters Plug & Play USB to Ethernet Adapter with PXE, MAC Address Clone Support (Ethernet to USB 2.0 Adapter, Ethernet Adapter for Laptop) Supporting 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Network in Black
By: Cable Matters Store
===============================================
Bought this as an Amazon Deal and it was shipped and received quickly. Inserted it into a USB2 port, connected an Ethernet cable and it worked immediately - didn't even have to reboot. However, a subsequent Windows Update did download a newer driver.
My application:
The onboard Ethernet module on my old Dell desktop Windows 10 computer had stopped working, apparently due to lack of driver updates. The wireless USB network adapter I was using had occasional problems penetrating the thick plaster walls in my old home, but has been retired and the computer now has a reliable connection to my network using this device.
Very Slow Speeds:
The specs only mention that USB 2.0 speeds are up to 480 MB/s. Providing that theoretical USB 2.0 maximum speed is deceiving, as large-file transfers FROM this computer are just over 11 MB/s and average about 45 MB/s TO this computer. (For testing, the other computers had gigabit onboard Ethernet modules.) Some other reviews mention various non-performance issues but I haven't had any. None with reliability, Internet connections or for streaming content. (My home network consists of an AX router and CAT5E cabling and is connected to a Comcast cable feed.) I haven't had this device very long and will try to remember to update this review if any issues are encountered.
It Works, if you don't mind slow speeds.:
Although the measured data transfer rates are a bit slow, I view this device as an inexpensive fix for a non-critical problem. If you require faster speeds and have a USB3 port, you may want to look for a USB3 version of this device, or simply use a wireless USB network adapter. However, for what it is, I recommend this device.
