Are you trying to work or school from home via videoconference? This doohickey is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY! You won't be the guy whose feed cuts in and out, and you'll be capable of being present for the entire class or meeting. INDISPENSABLE! It also came more than a week earlier than Walmart.com said it would!

I purchased this to upgrade my laptop that had 10/100 Ethernet. Later, I installed Win10 Tech Preview on my desktop, and the Intel driver for the I218v gigabit Ethernet adapter wasn't compatible. Dug this adapter out of a drawer, plugged it in to USB3, and instantly had gigabit Ethernet. It's a great performer - I'm impressed all over again. Thanks, StarTech!

You can see the photo and the chromebook ethernet notification in the photos below. And thank you for finally making ethernet possible on my chromebook. I also got very fast speeds.

just as described.

Bought the USB3 to Gigabit adaptor a few years ago when I was using a Windows laptop. Changed to Mac. Just downloaded the Driver Package, Followed the instructions and works like a dream. One problem (Mac) handled by StarTech support via Chat and then telephone. Both worked great. No connection in any way with StarTech but all my career in IT (60 years) and can not think of a better product and support experience.

I've got 2 of these plus a slightly earlier version originally purchased to use for PXE booting Windows laptops, tablets and PCs. Don't seem to have any issue in Windows 10, windows updates you can bet are likely to mess many things up and I even seen it mess up Graphics cards, network cards etc. I suggest if you buy this to make sure that it will fit the intended use and research as much as possible.

I bought this a few years back and needed one for a MacBook pro (2022 model with only usb-c ports) had use another usb-c to adapter to plug this Ethernet adapter in. Followed the steps offered with this product and it works, full gigabit speed. Great.

First install attempt was unsuccessful (I believe it's because I didn't use "Run as Administrator" when I first ran Setup.exe). I had no Link/Activity LED's. - Although the adapter may work for some without the drivers, they were required for my work laptop. - I had to uninstall the driver from Control Panel as well as the device from Device Manager. - I recommend installing the driver before plugging in the adapter. - Right-click the "Setup.exe" file and select "Run as Administrator" (even if your user account is Administrator, follow this step anyway) - Connect the adapter and then connect an ethernet cable to it. - Unplug/Plug the adapter from USB after the first connection if you don't have any Link/Activity LED's

Unstable operation when connected to a laptop port work MacOs High Sierra 10.13.6 You have to reinstall the device driver all the time. Download and upload speeds are good for streaming.

I was very happy with this adapter, but I have upgraded to MacOS Big Sur and the adapter is no longer supported. I'm disappointed there is not an updated driver for it.
