### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product
*by  on Reviewed in the United States June 19, 2026*

Came on time . Works great

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solves speed isssues for older100mbs ethernet PC cards
*by  on Reviewed in the United States December 26, 2025*

It works as advertised. Upgraded my provider Service to 500mbs. Then discovered my PC ethernet card was card was rated at only 100mbs. Solution was this device. Connection way easy. Plugged it in to a USB port and my Ethernet cable and bam!! 500+ mbs all day long. Problem solved. I'm using a windows 11 home version. No drivers needed. No reason have a new ethernet card installed or buy a new PC and pay big bucks to a repair center. I would buy this metal encased version rather than the plastic cased version, for a few dollars more. It is more sturdy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ small and very well made gigabit Ethernet adapter
*by  on Reviewed in the United States November 14, 2025*

A small USB3.0 adapter, very well made casing. The signal light is white and some may find it too bright, but it can be covered by some semi-transparent tape if it bothers you. It works really well with my raspberry 5 adding an extra gigabit connectivity option. The performance is as expected, compatible with all my devices. The adapter device id is 0b95:1790. It is made in Vietnam and features AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet Controller chip made in Taiwan, so safe and easy to use.
