Review: Plug & Play - 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 desertcart 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. ## Features - Ethernet USB adapter connects a computer or Raspberry Pi 3 to a router, modem, or network switch for a Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) network connection; Connect the USB Ethernet adapter to your laptop without an Ethernet port - Cost-effective USB network adapter for many computer applications that only require a 100 Mbps Ethernet connection; Use this convenient USB Lan adapter to replace a failed USB NIC or Ethernet port on an older computer - Portable RJ45 to USB dongle weighs less than 1 ounce with a 6-inch cable tail to connect to your computer; Wired LAN USB adapter is more secure than most Wi-Fi connections - Feature-filled USB to network adapter supports Preboot Execution Environment (PXE), Wake-on-Lan (WoL), Full-Duplex (FDX) and Half-Duplex (HDX) Ethernet, Crossover Detection, Backpressure Routing, Auto-Correction (Auto MDIX); Supports IPv4/IPv6 protocols in 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX networks; Supports MAC address pass-through (MAC clone) with the Cable Matters EZ-Dock utility software (Windows) - Driver-free Simple installation USB to RJ45 adapter for most computers; Diagnostic LEDs on this Ethernet USB adapter verify the power, connection and data transfer status; OS compatible Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/Vista/XP, MacOS 10.8 and up, Chrome OS and Linux for kernels up to 4.15; USB to RJ45 adapter is NOT compatible with Windows RT, or Android ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ET4KHJ2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #77 in USB Computer Network Adapters | | Brand | Cable Matters | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Modem | | Compatible Operating System Family | ChromeOS, Linux, MacOS, Windows | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 7,053 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Ethernet , Fast Ethernet , USB | | Data Transfer Rate | 100 Megabytes Per Second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00081159809188 | | Hardware Interface | Ethernet, USB | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 2.2"L x 1"W x 0.6"H | | Item Weight | 1.13 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Cable Matters | | Mfr Part Number | 9188 | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Windows 11 | | Model Number | 202023-BLACK | | Product Dimensions | 2.2"L x 1"W x 0.6"H | | UPC | 081159809188 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cable Matters - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Modem - **Compatible Operating System Family:** ChromeOS, Linux, MacOS, Windows - **Data Link Protocol:** Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, USB - **Data Transfer Rate:** 100 Megabytes Per Second - **Hardware Interface:** Ethernet, USB - **Item Weight:** 1.13 Ounces - **Product Dimensions:** 2.2"L x 1"W x 0.6"H - **UPC:** 081159809188 ## Images ![Cable Matters Plug & Play USB to Ethernet Adapter with PXE, MAC Address Clone Support (Ethernet to USB 2.0 Adapter for Laptop) Supporting 10/100 Mbps Network - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eBl5kKjBL.jpg) ![Cable Matters Plug & Play USB to Ethernet Adapter with PXE, MAC Address Clone Support (Ethernet to USB 2.0 Adapter for Laptop) Supporting 10/100 Mbps Network - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZWW7fkceL.jpg) ![Cable Matters Plug & Play USB to Ethernet Adapter with PXE, MAC Address Clone Support (Ethernet to USB 2.0 Adapter for Laptop) Supporting 10/100 Mbps Network - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tpRk3+U5L.jpg) ![Cable Matters Plug & Play USB to Ethernet Adapter with PXE, MAC Address Clone Support (Ethernet to USB 2.0 Adapter for Laptop) Supporting 10/100 Mbps Network - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61l7Vk9CfUL.jpg) ![Cable Matters Plug & Play USB to Ethernet Adapter with PXE, MAC Address Clone Support (Ethernet to USB 2.0 Adapter for Laptop) Supporting 10/100 Mbps Network - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rzbvq1QjL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I purchsed this adapter and it did not include a driver disk.
