    4 out of 5 stars
    Provides wired internet to laptops/devices without an Ethernet port, but it's not perfect.
    My WiFi router was having problems, so I had to switch to Ethernet cable. My laptop doesn't have an Ethernet port, but with this adapter I am able to have internet access by using one of my USB ports. I plugged the TP-Link adapter into my USB 3.0 port, the drivers installed and I was able to get online using my Ethernet cable. Also, using this adapter isn't causing any slow-down. I am able to reach the full speed of my internet service (see image for screenshot of the speed test results).BUT it's not perfect...I tested the adapter in one of my USB 2 ports to see if it was backwards-compatible, and it is not. Internet performance was slow, very slow, or didn't work at all. This adapter should have a driver that allows it to be fully backwards-compatible with USB 2. So then I could move the adapter to a USB 2 port that is on the left side of my laptop, and I could plug my mouse into the one USB 3 port that is on the right.What I learned, is that if I had bought a USB-C adapter I would be using my USB-C port and that would have left my other USB ports open for my mouse or a USB thumb drive.I hope this review is helpful to shoppers and leads to improvement of the driver(s).

      This is really easy to use. All you do is plug it into your computer and then whatever you need on the other end. We use this to plug in to our solar panel box to get a quick reading of the output. It connected quickly to our laptop and the cable was a nice length. The design makes it super easy to use.

      Overall, works great. The price for this is excellent and made our lives so much easier when the solar panels didn’t connect via Bluetooth.

      This device is pretty small but effective. It just plugs into the computer via USB port. You then plug a standard Ethernet cable into the other end, and thats it... The computer automatically registers the USB port as an Ethernet connection to the internet, and you'll get a wired-connection symbol on your internet icon in the taskbar tray.
      It is obviously not optimal speed, as the data has to pass through the Adapter first.
      However, I bought this as an emergency Ethernet for my Desktop PC, as it has no wireless card and the Ethernet port went bad. It works spectacularly. It was a tad slower, but not by a whole lot, I was still able to download a 3GB game in a few minutes.

      This product is also great if you have a laptop that does not have an Ethernet port and you need to wire directly without WiFi.

      For NON-TECH people: I literally only needed to plug it in the USB, then into the Internet Cable. And BAM internet. Works and gives a solid speed.

      also, it is pretty cheap on the wallet, but its not super cheap feeling in the hand/plugged in.Its good for the price for sure.

      5/5 because it DOES work…but tried bypassing my TV LAN Port through hardwiring. Come to find out my TV, as good as it is, only supports 10/100mbits. Better off using your WiFi. If you’re using this for a TV make sure your TV LAN supports up to 1gbit, or any Ethernet port for that matter. TVs don’t seem to want to incorporate a 1gbit port. Sent it back.

      I have several of these, both the cheaper sort that only has the networking jack and also the more expensive model that contains both a USB hub and the networking jack. Both models seem to work well for giving a device gigabit wired networking, and the model with the USB hub also works for giving you extra USB jacks. And as others have commented, this device is "plug and play" (i.e. just plug it in, and it works). And I have confirmed "gigabit speeds" out of this device, although I suspect you would get slower speeds if you used inferior networking cables/switches and/or your device had a slower USB port (but in both of those cases the slowdown would be the fault of something this adapter is connected to, vs the fault of the adapter itself).

      However, like all "plug and play" devices, this adapter does require the device you are using it with to have the needed drivers already installed/present. In the case of this adapter, that means your connected device must have "networking via USB" drivers already installed. So any device that doesn't have these needed drivers obviously won't work with this adapter!

      In my case I have confirmed that several (but not all) of my home "smart TVs" will work with this adapter, as will both of my chromebook laptops, and even my android smartphone (via a USB "on the go" cable). Again, all devices that this adapter works with are "plug and play", although the TVs also needed to be "restarted" (unplugged from house power, plugged back in and then turned on) to convince the TV to use this adapter vs using its builtin WiFi.

      The product is really good and was delivered on time in perfect condition. Tested both in Mac (Macbook air) and windows (Lenovo Z50). Driver for LAN connection available on Tplink website, link and installing options described in manual provided with the product.
      Test Run:
      1. On Mac with LAN driver from tplink installed, everything runs perfectly. All three 3.0 USB ports can be used at the same time plus LAN connection too.
      2. On Windows, LAN connection worked perfectly only after installing the driver from Tplink website. My windows laptop 3.0 USB was not powerful enough to power this adapter for my external hard drive to detect, so only pendrives can be used simultaneously in all three 3.0 USB ports (I think depends on your laptop).

      I like the 3 ports but sadly the MacBook Air does not receive any signal from the ethernet cable. Perhaps the distance between the USB end to the ethernet end is too far. I ended up buying the apple ethernet to USB adapter and that works perfectly.

      منتج جيد جدا حل مشكلة بعدم وجود مدخل خاص بكابل لشبكة الانترنت او ما يعرف بــ RJ45
      كانت لي تجربة مع منتج اخر وكان سيء ويحتاج لتعريفات
      لكن هذا المنتج فقط عليك توصيله بالجهاز ويبدء بالعمل مباشرة
      انصح به
