Gigabyte Ethernet Adapter Driver

This adapter works well with Linux, but will require the user to compile the open source driver and install it. Careful instructions are on the web. I use it on a workstation normally attached to ethernet, but occasionally in need of wireless access. Quick speed test on a strong signal was about 250Mbps (650Mbps on ethernet).

After patiently waiting 6 months for the email from B&H that another batch of Ryzen 5 5600X processors had arrived, I immediately purchased the following components for a mini ITX build: Ryzen 5 5600X cpu Gigabyte B550I motherboard Patriot Viper 2x16GB DDR4 3200 MHz ram WD SN850 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 SSD Noctua NH-L9x65 low-profile cpu cooler Resulted in a SPECTACULAR performance upgrade to the FX-6300 hard disk drive computer that has been my workhorse for the last 8 years. Click the mouse, and Boop, almost immediate file load. Power on completes within 5-10 seconds. Because of the video card supply shortage, had to use an old Asus GT630 card, although the rest of the system compensates to still make for quick graphic design. The only issue was installing Debian Linux. Debian 10 Buster does not have a native driver for the Realtek 2.5 GbE LAN chip. After a few hours of trying to manually load the RealTek RTL8125 driver with no success, I tried the testing Debian 11 Bullseye release, which successfully completed the installation with the r8169 driver. A hearty 5 Star recommendation for the Gigabyte B550I, especially since it does not have a chipset cooling fan that can add noise. The SilverStone SG05BB-LITE case I use has plenty of vent area and temperature has not been a problem.

Not much to say, it's a USB to Ethernet adapter. Works exactly like you would want it to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Belkin USB-C to Ethernet + Charging adapter is amazing tool to have with you when you need an ethernet connection. The USB-C to Ethernet + Charging adapter charges your connected device while also providing an ethernet connection, so no need for multiple connectors. I have been using this on my Android phone and my laptop, both devices have a USB-C port and my Belkin adapter worked great on both devices. It provided an adequate charge and a stable internet connection without any issues. The adapter was immediately recognized by both devices and there was no need to install any software to make the adapter work. The adapter is also small and portable enough to carry with you anywhere you go. I would highly recommend this adapter to anyone looking for an ethernet + charging adapter.

Since this device is so new, the device driver for Wi-Fi and Ethernet is not in the installation software for the operating system. You must connect an external USB Wi-Fi so that it can download the device driver from the internet. Other than this hiccup, everything works fine. I bought three.

The assembly was easy, and the driver installation was easy, and the ethernet cable connection was easy, and paper roll loading was easy, and then the plotting worked well. Only glitch was the driver software creating two printers, and no documentation on which was which (one was ethernet and one was USB).

works great, does not heat up as much as other ethernet adapter I've had.

Used it with apple TB to ethernet adapter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a Belkin USB-C to Ethernet + Charge Adapter 100W complimentary from Belkin and Influenster in exchange for my honest review. The Belkin USB-C to Ethernet + Charge Adapter 100W has been a huge game changer when it comes to my Teams meetings/video calls. In the past, I was missing out on critical information because of the internet lag, and calls were being dropping due to my internet's speed. With the Belkin USB-C to Ethernet + Charge Adapter 100W plug-and-play adapter, I no longer have a lag or have to worry with those calls dropping off. The adapter keeps my computer charged and my connection completely sound while I'm hardwired. So far, I'm pleased that the adapter hasn't overheated and has stayed cool to touch. The adapter is both small and portable, and works with most USB-C compatible devices. The Belkin USB-C to Ethernet + Charge Adapter 100W provides an Ethernet port, charger, and a nice boost of internet speed, all in one device, at great price. In my opinion, you can't go wrong!

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