Review: Good product - Arrived on time and in good condition. Works great.
Review: Works Perfectly! Like a built in Ethernet port. - I got my first new laptop in 8 years, a workstation Dell 7590 Windows 10. Little did I know that many laptops don't come with an Ethernet port I expect because their chassis are so thin. So at first frustrated, I considered returning the laptop and upon looking at other models, many if not most did not have a wired port. So then I discovered this device and gave it a try. Its plug and play for WIndows 10. It comes with a driver disk but for WIndows 10 no installation needed. Just attach it to a USB port and connect your Ethernet cable and it works. No installation, not nothing. The PC recognizes and reports an ethernet interface just as if it was hardware built into the computer. It ran all night continuously downloading with no interruptions. PERFECT!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works With ChromeOS
*by W***Y on January 21, 2016*

Let me say up front that I do not anticipate using this adapter very much. I have a DSL modem with integrated WiFi router, so don't have much need for wired Ethernet. However, occasionally I do need to connect to the router directly. My desktop computer is off in a distant room and I use a Chromebook (which does not have an Ethernet port) around the house, so recently when I needed to connect to the router's Ethernet port I had to go find and then fire up my seldom-used Windows laptop to do the job. Quite by coincidence I read a discussion of Ethernet adapters on a Chromebook Google Community recently and noted that the Plugable brand was recommended by several users. The price looked good and the specs specifically stated that Linux and ChromeOS are supported, so I ordered one. Even before I received the adapter with two-day Prime shipping I got an email from Plugable with support information and thanking me for my purchase. Well done Plugable! Upon receipt the first thing I noticed was how easy it was to open the packaging, which is the plastic clam shell type, but with a simple tab closure rather than the sealed edges that require either a knife or scissors to open. I opened my Chromebook, turned off WiFi, cabled up the adapter and plugged it in to a USB port and I was immediately on line. I ran a speed test and everything checked out just fine. I've added the Plugable to my collection of adapters (USB C to A, USB C to HDMI, HDMI to VGA, etc.) and know that it will do the job when next it is needed.
