  1. ArunK

    I bought two of these, to build a DIY multi-ISP load balance/failover internet gateway for my home LAN.
    Using an OpenWrt (22.0.3) image for the RasPi 4. The kernel recognized the USB dongle (Realtek). I was able to configure the 2 LAN ports from these dongles to connect with (a) Cox cable and (b) T Mobile 5G home internet service providers.

    Load balancing/failover and auto-recovery work like a charm for my internet usage.

  2. Superb

    Plug and play. It works perfectly on various HP and ASUS laptop computers.

  3. hmheartfelt

    I was so happy to find this Adapter at a great price at BB. I needed this because my laptop didn’t have an Ethernet port. The adapter was plug and play-love that! No problems or issues with it.

  4. Customer

    Functional adapter. Works well. It works as expected.

  5. Richard

    Works great on my Ubuntu Server 22.04 Linux server.

  6. Jayce

    It’s hard to review a product that I never used but I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt.

  7. TomHarris

    Works well at a reasonable price. Plug and play, worked great. Bought this so I can connect the Ethernet cable to my laptop which doesn’t have an Ethernet port.

  8. Apple

    Great adapter. My laptop stop connecting to Wi-Fi, and doesn’t have an Ethernet port. This worked great!

  9. TheTim

    Great price compared to other brands and works great! I’m using it with a raspberry pi zero and usb adapter. It has functioned with my desktop and laptop usb ports as well. I highly recommend this.

  10. Iska

    It’s easy to forget the new laptops don’t have an ethernet port. This thing makes my IT needs easy as it sits in my backpack all the time. Great quality and plug and play.

  11. Jennifer

    This adapter is easy to use, compact and convenient.

  12. DoomGuy

    Using for my switch. Works fine as of now. Will update if there are any issues

  13. JakeM

    My internet connection occasionally disconnects/reconnects when using this adapter. Also, when I first wake up the PC the adapter is often unrecognized, and I have to unplug it/plug it back in. It uses built-in Windows drivers (I’m on Win11) so I can’t update the driver. I’ve tried through device manager and windows update, no updated drivers are found.

  14. Brutis

    Works perfectly and I love the price. I needed to connect my lap to the internet and this was what I needed.

  15. 007s

    Great adapter and working well, no problems. Good price as well.

  16. Vicente

    Plug and play so easy to use with no special software needed.

  17. Neita

    It has come in handy. So it was a good purchase yes

  18. DNRecon

    works great!

    Plug it in and it works great and easy to carry in my computer bag!

  19. Stephen

    I do not use Wi-Fi. I want a direct cable connection, modem to PC desktop. This is it. USB 2.0 to Ethernet.

  20. BestBuyReviewer

    Works automatically, just like it should; doesn’t require any setup.

  21. Tommy

    Plug and play for my switch, just what I needed. Over 100 hours logged already, at this price, is well worth it. Don’t go with a cheap Amazon option, they won’t last like this one

  22. HogardthP

    Item works very well and I needed this because my laptop doesn’t have a Ethernet port so it was a win win situation for me

  23. TimB

    Good price and worked perfectly with my nintendo switch!

  24. DavidF

    It works great for what I needed. Used it to hard wire my Nintendo Switch.

  25. JacquivaH

    Only used the item for a short time but it worked perfectly when I used it

  26. Ramie

    Exactly what I needed. Would purchase again. Recommended:)

  27. RichardC

    I guess it works going to give to my friend with a laptop

  28. Nathos

    Somehow, my ethernet cable was hampering with my other ports (or vice versa) and my connect would disrupt frequently. This solved it! Speed improved just a tad bit

  29. MatthewS

    It works like it’s supposed to. Pretty much Plug n’ Play.

  30. SuspiciousJosh

    My cousin shoved some of his mac n cheese in the port and it still worked, amazing tech

  31. Chavele

    A must have for any IT or CS professional in a personal or enterprise environment.

  32. Losreyes

    GREAT DEVICE!!! This is my second purchase, 1st one was for a faulty laptop cable connector jack worked fine. This second purchase was for a faulty USB connector on the same laptop. Unable to connect a new Brother Printer same success printer worked great to! Both are Plug & Play EZ install. Saved me the cost of a new laptop thanks BEST BUY! They are the GO TO ELECTRONICS STORE in North Texas great techs & great service desk!

  33. LisaM

    Due to the way the modem works in our house, we got one of these to try mainlining from the modem to the laptop instead of wifi. It is a lifesaver! Great value for this item and it has been wonderful. Boosted our signal and helped with our random disconnects. A++

  34. Stephanie

    Working well and I appreciate its simplicity very much!

  35. Slick1

    Adapter works flawlessly and never fails, especially on lackluster internet speeds.

  36. Jones

    Thank someone for thinking this up. It is a necessary, useful, gratefully received tool.

  37. Unknown

    Guy said it would work with my laptop it did not work

  38. TedT

    I bought this since I have a DSL modem to Ethernet connector and newer laptops/Chrombooks don’t have a standard Ethernet Port. So I bought this a s converter. I did ask the sale rep with it would work to convert Ethernet Internet to the USB and the new laptops could process the signal and they could.

  39. Unknown

    The sound was too low. Only low bass came from bass box with no audio sound. Only volume control was on bass speaker.

  40. Alvin

    This device is very convenient to have and works well with the Nintendo Switch.

  41. TorreyJ

    Works great. I like the white look.
    Not much more to say about it.

  42. user154212

    Now I can get three stocked in Smash Ultimate with no excuses otherwise! Thanks Nintendo!

  43. Chels

    Definitely faster speeds. Idk why my laptop didnt come with an ethernet port but this works well

  44. DanielD

    Works great fits into the usb laptop ans its easy to hide

  45. FrugalBuyer

    Works as advertised and faster than using WiFi connection (our service is pretty slow to begin with).

  46. PaolaS

    Ive been using this product for a month to connect all my work from home equipment. So far no issues.

  47. Best

    It is hard to find an item but Best Buy store has it.

  48. CelesteO

    A lifesaver! Needed for virtual interview to test internet speed via Ethernet cable. My laptop doesn’t have an Ethernet port and this adapter was able to let use the Ethernet via USB!

  49. Paul

    This item met my needs perfectly. It was readily available and arrived very quickly

  50. Jjcabinets
