Startech Usb3 To Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Works fine with Windows and Mac. This adapter can basically max out a gigabit Ethernet connection. I have it connected to a USB port on the back of my monitor so that a single cable gets me not only power and video, but also a better internet connection.

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

Cox just upped my speed ... needed an approved modem with a gigabit ethernet port, more channels and RAM. Works great with my Netgear WNDR3700 router. Expect it to go a few years!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With more and more ports disappearing from laptops, it can be a pain when setting up networking equipment where your initial interface is the ethernet port. Furthermore, doing a USBC-USB3 dongle to a USB3 adapter that has the ethernet, too many connection IMHO. So I was very glad to pick up this USB-C to ethernet allowing me to be able to simply plug it into my Macbook and then connect to my networking gear and also to get a faster connection for larger downloads.

I have not used these yet, but they appear identical to the StarTech adapter cable I have used for several years. B&H's price was about half what I paid for my first one.

I got this for a PC that had no free slots for a 10 gigabit Ethernet card. It installed automatically on Windows 10 and has been perfectly reliable for the first couple weeks. Very solid performance at 5 gigabit.

The Trendnet gigabit ethernet switch was easy to install. And all of the devices now connected to it are running at their optimal levels. I like the solid feel of this switch in its metal box. A good change from all of these plastic switches. It is nice to see the green lights by those devices that are receiving their full gigabit speed and those devices that are unable to operate at that speed show up as a yellow light. I am very satisfied with the performance of this product and was even more satisfied with the price. It is nice that one can still get a quality product for a great price ($).

I finally decided to sign up for a streaming TV service, but my circa 2016 Samsung Smart TV was too old to run the latest streaming apps. After doing a LOT of comparison of Roku, Fire, etc. I settled on the NVIDIA SHIELD TV and I'm extremely happy. I wanted a device that could support Gigabit ethernet (instead of operating via WiFi) and the SHIELD fit the bill. The only other device that fully supports Gigabit ethernet is Apple TV, but since I'm already in the Android ecosystem the NVIDIA SHIELD was really a no-brainer. Very satisfied user.

I am currently using this for gigabit Ethernet. The cable works well, though the connector release is a bit on the stiff side. Note: 1Gb Ethernet doesn’t need Cat6a cables (Cat6 is perfectly appropriate; Cat5e is adequate but marginal), I just got Cat6a for future-proofing.

Add Gigabit Ethernet port to laptop. The Yoga 6 build-in Wi-Fi is unstable, & it doesn't come with Ethernet port. Adding this adapter would allow it to connect the network with stable wired connection. With the extra USB ports, you can connect more accessories such as wireless mouse & keyboard.
