Cable Matters USB to Ethernet Adapter (USB 2.0 to Ethernet/USB to RJ45) Supporting 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Network in Black

Product Information

As theASIX AX88179 is used on this adapter, it should work with Nintendo Switch, at least theoretically. USB Ethernet adapter for Mac May be there's a type C port on your phone, so you can use the adapter both on your laptop and smartphone. Another advantage is they'rereversible, hence easier to connect. Best USB to Ethernet Adapter Such adapter+hub combos are quite useful when there's only one USB port are available, like in a smartphone or tablet. The RTL8152 chip used in this device is pretty well supported by most operating systems, just like it's gigabit version RTL8153. So we could expect a stable operation and wide range of device support. Ethernet ports are almost gone from laptops, unless it's a heavy gaming laptop. Thankfully this problem could be solved easily with a USB to Ethernet adapter.

This adapter works without any problem on Windows 8, Windows 10, Linux and macOS. However it's explicitly mentioned that it's not for Android, Windows RT and pfSense. The most notable feature of this adapter is the foldable adapter cable and compact size. I'm using one from Oct-2017, still no fraying sign on the cable. Micro USB still the main wired connectivity option for most Android smartphones and tablets. You can connect any type A adapter with a OTG cable, but it adds up unnecessary bulk. It's because USB 3 signals works within a broad frequency range, and the 2.4 GHz band falls under the it's spectrum. So, there could be significant amount of RF radiation, specially when the connecting wires not properly shielded and long.A Gigabit adapter on USB 2.0 port could reach 250-300 MBps speed easily, about 3 times more speed compared to a 100M ethernet adapter. Recent versions of Linux, Android and Chrome OS also doesn't need any driver installation. As default inbuilt USB to Ethernet driver has a wide range of hardware support. There's few advantage of type Cusb ethernet cable compared to type A. As example, it's quite future proof, compatibility with Thunderbolt 3 and ability to connect the same adapter on a wide range of hardware. The type C devices are reversible, hence easier to attach and detach. On linux 4.9 and above the cdc_ether driver can detect the device, but on older systems the ax88179_178a module is used instead. This USB to Ethernet adapter works just fine on Windows 10 and Linux, no driver installation is required at all. But the compatibility withNintendo Switch makes it stand out of the crowd.

Then connected a Logitech Unifying wireless keyboard receiver to the TP-Link TL-UE330 adapter. No lags while the keyboard is close, but starts lagging and dropping when it's about 4-5 feet away.Compatibility with many devices is one of it's main highlights, like Macbooks, popular Android tablets and smartphones, and Chromebooks. So it should work with any macbook without any problem. Dell USB type C Gigabit Ethernet adaptor As I've said earlier here, the USB 3 adapters with hub functionality may cause with interference with any wireless device connected to it operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. You many feel the glossy plastic body somewhat disappointing. It's prone to scratches, if rubbed against hard surface. But I've to say the adapter performs reasonably well, both as a ethernet adaptor and USB hub.

Here's a list of 5 USB LANadapter, USB 3.0 type A. all of them with 1000 Mbps speed. Specially for somewhat older laptops,2-in-1 detachables andconvertibles, like Surface Pro.So, if you're planning to connect a USB bluetooth adapter, wireless keyboard-mouse receivers or a USB WiFi dongle, then they might not work as expected. I've also got two other Volans aluminium USB 3.0 > GbE adapters that I haven't used that thoroughly and only identify as "Realtek USB GbE" (hardware ID: VID_08DA&PID_8153) which I'm assuming is the RTL8153. Here's few shortlisted USB type C adapters, should be compatible with any type C port and thunderbolt 3 ports. Plugable USB-C to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet

This is a perfect adapter for any Windows 10 tablet and most android tablets. Features a ASIX AX88772 chip, which has quite mature driver support. Though the USB to Ethernet converter chip of is not reported yet by anyone, it works just fine on all updated Mac and Windows systems, chromebooks are also in the supported device list. Anker USB type C to Ethernet adapter with 3 port hub Almost every PC hardware manufacturers are constantly trying to make their laptops and ultrabooks thinner and even more thinner. As said before, this adapter is quite well built with sufficiently strong cable strain relief. So you can expect a relatively longer life when handled roughly.If you're thinking about to connect a wireless keyboard, bluetooth adapter or 2.4 Ghz USB WiFi dongle, then it might disappoint you. The reason discussed at the end. Anker USB 3.0 Unibody Aluminum Ethernet Adapter Though it's not a USB adapter, but it's worth including this one in this list. The main advantage of this adapter is there's no driver installation is required at all. If there's a Thunderbolt 2 port on your Mac, then it's a good choice, the adapter is from Apple itself. Note that it won't fit on a thunderbolt 3 port, they're not pin compatible. Android driver support:A micro USB to Ethernet adapter can be connected to any android device with USB OTG functionality, if there's a proper driver. Most of the time the default cdc_ether driver is built-in inside the kernel, which has a wide range of converter chip support, including the RTL8153 and RTL8152.
