USB 3.0 Ethernet Hub

UGREEN came through again, I continue to really like the products that UGREEN delivers.This Gigabit USB3 adapter worked out of the box, with ZERO setup.1) plugged it in to the PC2) connected the ethernet cable.3) browsed the web and viewed local LAN shares NO PROBLEMS whatsoever.After checking out the device properties i verified it was indeed connecting a 1 Gbit and the active settings were all reasonable.I really like that all of the drivers were native windows WHQL certified and nothing needed to be installed.The unit was slightly warm (if it was coffee it wouldn't be warm enough).----- technical mumbo jumbo TL DR; follows....The chipset inside the unit provides the nifty operations you want from a modern internet adapter.checksum offload, large send offload, jumbo packets, priority & VLAN, energy conservation, automatic cable length detection, wake on lan, wake on link, wake on pattern, wake on magic packet, ARP offload, NS offload. (i tested none of this, im just noting that the chipset offers it and the windows 10 drivers support it)There is a mini CD that contains drivers for windows versions < 10. including mac and linux.The linux drivers include source code.The manufacturers web site was very open about certification and complianceand even provide gerbers and schematics for embedded applications that want to use the chipset,

I purchased this adapter since my new Acer laptop didn't have an Ethernet port. After spending a whopping 10 hours on Wifi doing an initial setup on my laptop, I needed a better option for downloads. Wifi is great for tablets and phones and less intensive surfing, but for downloads a hard wired connection is much better. This adapter just simply worked. Plugged it into my USB port and put my cord into my router and was enjoying super fast download speeds. No setup was required, Windows 10 recognized it and off I went. I highly recommend this adapter. Well made and easy to use. Particularly love the additional 3 ports on the side to plug in additional devices. Great price too!

The hub worked great and all while I was using it without external power. Very convenient for a Surface Pro, allowing me to use wired ethernet and still use some USB 3.0 ports for mice, keyboards, etc.The hub does have a power port for 5V 2A power. Be warned though, DO NOT plug in anything over 5V 2A into that port... My idiot self decided to plug a more powerful one into it and, suddenly the hub ceased to function and had a weird burning plastic smell to it, and no longer functioned. Doh! Well that one was my fault. At least none of the USB devices that were plugged into it at the time suffered any damage.The only reason I'm docking it a star is because for some reason no ethernet cable I used would snap into the port. They would connect and function, but would easily fall out with the slightest bump. It did this for every RJ45-terminated cable I tried, from multiple manufacturers.I'll likely be buying UGREEN's updated version, with USB-C power, to replace it, but this hub did serve me very well before I fried it out of an act of ignorance.

Purchased this item so that I can hardwire my Amazon Firestick and it works flawlessly!! I purchased a different brand item which looked identical but it did not work. So don’t waste your time with other Ethernet adapters and purchase this Ugreen adapter

This is an amazing product. It made my internet connection 10 times faster from 100 Mbps to 1000 Mbps. I do have 1 Gig from my ISP but my laptop's Ethernet card was only 100 Mbps. So it actually takes full advantage of the Gigabyte connection by speeding up the PC. Just plug the cable coming from the router into this Ethernet Adapter and do a speed test. WOW!!! And you have 3 USB connections to boot!

If your laptop does not have a network port, this is what you need.
