Arrived on time and in good condition. Works great.

This Review is For: Cable Matters Plug & Play USB to Ethernet Adapter with PXE, MAC Address Clone Support (Ethernet to USB 2.0 Adapter, Ethernet Adapter for Laptop) Supporting 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Network in Black By: Cable Matters Store =============================================== Bought this as an Amazon Deal and it was shipped and received quickly. Inserted it into a USB2 port, connected an Ethernet cable and it worked immediately - didn't even have to reboot. However, a subsequent Windows Update did download a newer driver. My application: The onboard Ethernet module on my old Dell desktop Windows 10 computer had stopped working, apparently due to lack of driver updates. The wireless USB network adapter I was using had occasional problems penetrating the thick plaster walls in my old home, but has been retired and the computer now has a reliable connection to my network using this device. Very Slow Speeds: The specs only mention that USB 2.0 speeds are up to 480 MB/s. Providing that theoretical USB 2.0 maximum speed is deceiving, as large-file transfers FROM this computer are just over 11 MB/s and average about 45 MB/s TO this computer. (For testing, the other computers had gigabit onboard Ethernet modules.) Some other reviews mention various non-performance issues but I haven't had any. None with reliability, Internet connections or for streaming content. (My home network consists of an AX router and CAT5E cabling and is connected to a Comcast cable feed.) I haven't had this device very long and will try to remember to update this review if any issues are encountered. It Works, if you don't mind slow speeds.: Although the measured data transfer rates are a bit slow, I view this device as an inexpensive fix for a non-critical problem. If you require faster speeds and have a USB3 port, you may want to look for a USB3 version of this device, or simply use a wireless USB network adapter. However, for what it is, I recommend this device.

great product Iwould recommend. it increased speed and looks identical to the picture. functions very well.

After several hours of trying to install this product, downloading drivers, unzipping, installing, etc. I could not get this product to work. The company, Cable Matters, was closed (it was Saturday), so I called Dell Technical Support since this was a new Dell computer which did not come with an ethernet port (ridiculous --yes). After nearly two hours with Dell, sending pictures back and forth, speaking with managers, etc. Dell concluded that the problem must be with the adapter. On Monday I called Cable Matters and was connected with a technical support rep within seconds. He was very nice, but ultimately concluded that it must be a bad adapter or a bad usb port. So, I then purchased another adapter (different brand) at Best Buy ($30) which also did not work. After another 3 hours on hold with 4 people from Dell, I still had no internet, and Dell refused to help me exchange the computer (which was only a few days over the 30-day return period). During a second call to Cable Matters, Ted suggested I shut off the cable modem to let it reset, and then restart it. PROBLEM SOLVED! Thank you Ted at Cable Matters, for this simple solution to a problem which Dell could not figure out after 5 conversations and nearly 5 hours on hold. It would have been nice to not have had this problem, or have had the solution presented earlier. It is amazing to me how many people work in the computer industry who don't understand them.

This device saved me. As I work from home and I didn't realize my laptop needed this to make it connect directly to my router. Still have it and I love it. Not issue and connection is easy to install. It fit perfect and very reliable.

Works great to connect my laptop with my internet. Great quality and price. Very easy setup. Did not run hot, great speed

*UPDATE* Their customer service is EXCELLENT!!! They reached out to me immediately following my review and sent a replacement that is working PERFECTLY!! No more issues! Thanks again and I will definitely recommend this company and this product!! The product is really easy to use because you literally just plug it in but unfortunately it does not give me a stable connection to the internet. I work from home so being hardwired to the internet is crucial and I miss out on so much work time because the internet cuts off even though it is hardwired so there are intermittent periods where I'm left in somewhat of a dead space until the connection is made again. At first it was not that bad I thought that maybe it was a glitch and I restarted my modem and checked all of my connections but it did not work and now the problem has gotten worse. I borrowed an ethernet adapter from a neighbor just to make sure that was the issue and his ethernet adapter worked just fine in my laptop with no issues. This is extremely frustrating

I am not sure why, but this product was shipped to me without the CD that has the drivers. Fortunately, you can download them via the cablematters website (http://www.cablematters.com/cs-Downloads.aspx). A word of warning though, for Windows 8+ machines, Windows will try to automatically install realtech drivers to get this device working, and that will screw it all up - in order to avoid this you must copy the downloaded driver file from the cablematters website, (www.cablematters.com/cs-Downloads.aspx) and paste it over your realtech driver file in the Windows/System32/drivers section of your device. Upon rebooting the device will work great. Now, if you are tech savvy, this is not a problem....but if you barely understood what I just typed, you would be well advised to buy a different product - one that comes with the installation disk. Now, on to the product itself - it appears to work really well once installed, and pegs out at 10/100, just as advertised.
