Ethernet Port Adapter Not Showing In Device Manager

Does exactly what it's supposed to do, and sounds good doing it. I've got zero complaints about the function. Two annoyances though: 1 - LIGHTS A red one for phantom power and another blinky fella under both the small volume knobs. Can't leave it plugged in overnight or my room lights up. Can't put tape over them either :/ I may try to tear it apart and unsolder the LEDS... 2 - It's a thing to attach fake storage to USB devices now and put the device's manual in it. Kinda cool. Until your monitor and audio interface and other audio interface all have manuals filling up the sidebar of OS file manager... it's just gross. Disabling in device manager only lasts until you change the USB port. I suppose you could plug it into every port on your pc and disable it for each to cover them all... Whatever. Not required and it's just clutter.

I always take my multiport adapter with me whenever I'm traveling. Super handy especially the ethernet port.

I just got this and connected the adapter and went into device manager, selected the adapter to check for updates and it downloaded some drivers and the adapter is active. I love things that are quick to set up and work well.

My laptop doesn't have an ethernet port. This USB adapter is a great solution.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's fast for transferring data from USB-C or USB-A. On the back, there is one USB-C port that supports 96W power delivery, used for charging devices like laptops. There are 5 USB-A ports in Gen 1, along with two HDMI and two DisplayPorts that support 4K resolution. Some modern laptops, like the MacBook, lack an Ethernet port. This dock includes Gigabit Ethernet support up to 1000Mbps, which would be helpful for connecting to an Ethernet cable. On the front, there are two card reader slots for MicroSD/SD, one USB-C port, one USB-A Gen 2 port that supports transfer speeds up to 10GB, and a speaker port. This plug-and-play device has everything needed; previously, I had separate card readers and USB ports. With this device, I can consolidate everything. It's great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this device/dongle, has everything I need. I would only make two changes, I'd remove the ethernet port, and replace it with a microSD slot. Other than that, can't complain! Really useful for my photography/video workflow on my iPad Pro!

Not much to this device. USB 3.0 with a type-A plug on one end, ethernet jack on the other. Plug the USB end into a USB 3.0 compatible port on your computer, plug the ethernet in on the other end. Profit.

The best way to use this product is to hardwire one ethernet port on the first device you setup. To avoid a troublesome issue known as a network loop it is best to rely on the built in sonos wireless protocol once the main device has been hardwired to the network.

I had been searching in vain for a small, humble adapter with VGA, ethernet, and USB-A ports, but *without* pass-through charging. And then I found this little gem, quite literally exactly what I need. All the other docks and adapters from elsewhere either had too much, not enough, or not the right combination of ports—and they were all so expensive it would have made more sense just to buy a new monitor instead. Most importantly, this adapter works. (The Apple multimedia adapter did not play at all nicely with my monitor, and I had to return it.) Although, I do have two small gripes with this Belkin adapter: 1) it scratches _very_ easily, and 2) the lights from the ethernet port are _very_ bright. The case became scratched the day I received it just from being on my desk; this was disappointing, but ultimately I care more that it works (it lives under my laptop stand and will never be seen anyway). And the lights from the ethernet port are so bright, they illuminate too much of the room when working at night. For this I used some black tape to cover the lights and part of the clear bit of the ethernet plug that was magnifying the light. All in all, I will still rate this product 5 stars for being exactly what I need and for being fully functional. I can pretend the scratches aren’t there if I never have to see them, and I was able to successfully block the obnoxiously bright lights.

This single-purpose adapter may be more reliable than an Ethernet port combined into a multipurpose USB hub. Still, with all such adapters, you may sometimes need to unplug and re-insert the USB hookup. TP-Link also has a USB-C version; I've purchased many of both types.
