Great price, works perfectly with no setup, and the extra length of it ensures it can connect inside the dock (where the USB 3.0 connector is) nice and easy
This adapter works flawlessly and at a much cheaper price than the adapter that is officially licensed by Nintendo.
Positives:* great price, even cheaper than USB 2.0 GigE adapters
works great, fantastic price 60mbs through the router, who can beat that

Well built, works as described, easy to install, a little pricey, you'll need USB 3.0 to see any improvements over 2.0, stick to wired Ethernet if you can, my media player experienced more "buffering" with this adapter
Plugable said there was a chance it could be a defective unit that only worked on USB 2.0 but not the newer USB 3.0 on the Dell.
This works extremely well and comes in handy especially with some of the new laptops.
Junk, stopped working after a 2 months!
This works well, is easy to use, and is reasonably priced.

Quality looks very good...have not had a chance to install it.
While appearing of average to good build quality these are terrible adapters
Great quality, arrived on time, no complaints, have several
Great quality and same technology as the certified Nintendo adapter but much cheaper
Overall this particular product from Plugable seems to work well and as advertised, though it's got some questionable quality in regard to the actual ethernet port itself

Once that was figured out, it was very quick to install and has given me back Ethernet on a Mac with a broken E-port
It pretty much had the same connection speed as my WiFi connection (802.11ac), it was a little less than 1 MB/s slower.

The adapter was very easy to setup with my MacBook Air and it delivers high-speed internet access as fast as described.

This adapter delivers excellent speed, limited only by my router and gigabit network switch.
Works great as a LAN cable adapter for devices which have a USB port but no LAN port.
I bought this network adapter for my Nintendo Switch.. and it works perfect!
This adapter works flawlessly and at a much cheaper price than the adapter that is officially licensed by Nintendo.
I was using a different USB/Ethernet adapter, and I have several of those, but I can't use more than one because Windows 7 gets confused when multiple adapters with the same chipset are connected

The speeds on my switch are slower than if I was using wireless
This adapter delivers excellent speed, limited only by my router and gigabit network switch.
Upload and download speeds were fast and the adapter performed well
Works great with top speeds thanks to USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet
Very pleased with this adapter and plan to order another one for 'just in case' as there is NO WAY I'm going back to the days of the slower internet speed

I ordered this to have a hard wired connection on my iMac.
And every once in a while you need a hard wired Ethernet connection.
For the perils of multiple users accessing a local QuickBooks server database over wifi do a Google search on "quickbooks sln41481".Anyway, I'm back in business connecting to our local QuickBooks server via a hard wired Ethernet connection
I use in on hard wired HTPC set ut and it gives real boost over wifi speed 1gb easy
Our office has a local QuickBooks server that I need to access via a hard-wired connection

works very good; but living in a condo, but in the afternoon the wireless traffic in the area really picks up & of course slows down a bit; Hooked it up about a week ago in the afternoon, & I did not see much difference in speed; by the next Morning, it really starting picking up the speed & after a couple of days it really got super quick for my Chromebook and it is constantly quick regardless of the time of the day; Just plug & play on the Chromebook; & hey guys, for less than $20 bucks this is a steal; I picked up the USB 3.0 Model since it is backward compatible since I will use on my next unit; Go Ahead;
It's a bit tricky to install if you are also missing a CD drive, but not terrible.
I may muck with it a bit before I return it, but for now my verdict is do not recommend for linux users

I was copying to a usb 3.0 SATA hard-drive on the same laptop.

3.0 pci adapter a year ago to take advantage of a usb 3.0 external hard drive I bought
The performance is better than I expected and shows no issue feeding a Hyper-V switch that has 4 computers running 24x7
Of course at USB 2.0 it transfers at 160 mbps, but once I switch it to the 3.0 USB port it goes up to 400+ mbps under normal operating circumstances, this means single hard drive in both network PCs and all apps running.
