Connected easily and transfers data fast

I bought this for the use with the Nintendo Switch. Running off Wifi while playing games like Fortnite and Super Smash Bros. online, there was a great deal of lag. Needing a USB ethernet adaptor, I started looking at the options that were out there. The Nintendo branded adaptor looked good, but was priced around $30, I wanted to see if there was anything else that would work for a cheaper price. In my search, I ran across the AmazonBasics USB 3.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter for $14! I did not know what to expect for $14, or even if it would work with the Switch, but I wanted to at least give it a try. The adaptor arrived in simple packaging with a CD for installation to a PC or Mac if you are using it for that purpose. Not sure where to start, I plugged the adaptor into one of the USB ports on the side of the Switch and turned it on. As soon as the Switch powered up, I immediately saw the network signal change from Wifi to a Wired network. No way it’s that easy right? I fired up Fortnite to make sure there was a connection and sure enough, not only was it online, it was online without any lag whatsoever.Final thought is; I cannot say how this product works on a PC/Mac, but on the Nintendo Switch, it works like a charm and only takes the time to take it out of the package and plug it into the Switch to get it going. There is no reason that you should not spend the $14 on this if you are looking for a Ethernet adaptor for your Switch!

Im using this with a ANKER 10 port hub, with USB 3.0, and see NO speed reductions. This makes my laptop truly mobile, and on the fly, when not doing office work. Dock life folks will appreciate this purchase!

I couldn’t connect my tvs to Ethernet because of old out of date network card in tvs especially the Hisense. So I tried the USB Ethernet adapter and its much more faster!!!

Wow!!!!! From 72.0 Mbps (wi-fi) to 100.0 Mbps (ethernet connection) on my old previous laptop to 1.0 Gbps on my new laptop using this adapter!!!!! Since my new laptop came without an ethernet port – and because I really wanted this specific new laptop — I resigned myself to using my wi-fi connection instead. My current internet provider seems notorious for slow internet speeds. Watching streaming video and even accessing the internet was trying my patience constantly but — even if a higher speed was available in my area the cost would be more than I was willing and able to pay. I googled this problem to see if others experienced same problem. Googling and speaking with a customer service representative at my internet providers suggested that – as an alternative — I use an ethernet connection which would make a very noticeable difference in connection speeds. Using my ethernet connection my speed jumped from 72.0 Mbps to 100.0 Mbps; however, the speed was still lagging. I was “shopping” here on Amazon (BTW, Amazon is my one-stop shopping with exception to my groceries. Amazon is amazing, and they are credible and reputable and stand behind their satisfaction guarantee as well as stepping in when a third-party seller did not measure up to their guarantee and return policies. Mind you, that only happened one time where Amazon had to step in to resolve the issue. Anyway, I digress. Nothing usual! LOL. I was searching out of curiosity to find out if there was some way to connect to ethernet without an ethernet port available. I discovered this alternate solution. I was pleasingly surprised when I switched to just wi-fi connection on my new laptop just to see what the difference was between the Mbps and using this adapter. I was used to the wi-fi connection speed being 72.0 Mbps and never even thought of checking to see what it would be on my new laptop. I do not know why but my new laptop using wi-fi was a whopping 144.0 Mbps versus my old laptop internet connection speed. I do not know why this is, but I will take the “WIN”.
