    • This connection was even faster than the native ethernet port
    • Works perfectly for my Switch, now I get to blame other peoples faulty connections.
    • I don't know if it would give as fast a connection if it were plugged into a USB 2.0 port
    • One of the areas where I have a dock for my switch is too far from my router to get a consistent wireless connection on my Switch, as when playing online in Splatoon 2 or Mario
    • Use this for teaching online, has definitely improved my connection!
    • This is also handy if you want a faster connection than wifi will provide.
    • If you're looking for an ethernet adapter that allows the Nintendo Switch to get the fastest network connection possible, this is the one
    • I telecommute to work on some days and need a reliable connection
    • Both the USB plug and the RJ45 socket make tight, solid connections.
    • These are good to have for faster downloads of files like video and pictures which is to slow over most wireless connection or if you have a wireless problem.
    • I wanted something that used the speed of a direct connection but although slower my external wireless adapter never drop the connection.
    • With the Nintendo Switch not having an ethernet port this made getting a hardwired connection super easy and convenient.
    • It just new I wanted the faster connection
    • Good speed and connection
    • really flimsy and loses connection frequently
    • This Plugable USB to Ethernet adapter was a great, inexpensive solution to getting a fast ethernet connection back up and running.
    • When using the adapter I get about 4x faster connection in combination with Cat6 wire
    • I live in Thailand and now get the fastest internet connection possible
    • Wireless is great & convenient, but depending on where you are and how the WiFi is setup at a location, you sometimes can't beat hard line connections.
    • things went downhill when I tried to scp a folder from one of my servers and I lost the connection, and even the usb device was no longer recognized via lsusb
    • Needed a faster connection on my Nintendo Switch for online play
    • and now I have a good high speed connection
    • I bought this because I was having trouble keeping a stable internet connection
    • Plugged in and immediately had a fast Ethernet connection.
    • Technically my wireless connection is faster, but the stability of a wired connection is way more important to me when playing games online with my friends.
    • Bought it to play Splatoon 2 on my Nintendo Switch online with a better internet connection
    • That would be fine for a fifteen dollar product if the connections and engineering were still solid
    • Excellent buy for those times when I will need a hard Ethernet connection.
    • After a while, I just gave up, and we got a rather unreliable connection over wi fi
    • Easy connection and driver loading too.
    • /sec up and down (we are on a fast connection)
    • Though this is far from the speed that my laptop (which I plugged in to the same powerline adapter) reaches, it is still significantly faster than what my Switch would run wirelessly in the same area of my house, and provides a much more stable connection than wireless would allow.
    • 'Worked great for about ten minutes and then lost connection
    • Fast connection, excellent
    • This shouldn't be an issue with an ethernet port as it should allow a cable connector to latch into the port, securing the connection and ensuring stuff like this isn't a problem
    • You cannot help me in this case the product looks cheaply made and has poor fit and finish and even the connections are rough
    • After a lightning surge disabled the ethernet LAN port on our desktop PC, we were stuck with a frustrating, weak, slow wi-fi internet connection
    • I bought it, and had it plugged in, in a matter of seconds, tested my connection and just WOW.. TONS BETTER!!!
    • It provides a super-fast connection (I can detect the speed difference between it and a regular ethernet adapter), is extremely foolproof to set up (just plug it in, no drivers to install for a Chromebook), and is compact enough for me to put in my purse or pocket.
    • I have a faster connection on my Nintendo Switch because of this.
    • -limited by the disk's I/O capabilities.
    • 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
    • -limited by the disk's I/O capabilities.
