Does the thing perfectly. I actually prefer it over the official as it lights up when there’s signal.

After having purchased a U-Green USB ethernet adapter which actually stated it works for Wii-U, the console would not recognize it at all. However, this little gem works great. You go into the settings and under the network set-up, choose wired and the console initializes the LAN connection with this Plugable USB adapter. Works great! Highly recommended! Worth the money! Much better than the wifi speed.

I ran an Ethernet port behind my 40 inch Onn roku tv. When I put the tv back up I realized it didn’t have an Ethernet port on the tv after already cutting a hole in the drywall and running Ethernet. I used this and it instantly recognized it as a wired connection! I’ve had no problems turning the tv back off and on, and even unplugging it, as soon as it comes back on it says wired connection! This thing works! I didn’t have to modify any settings like other stated. Plug and play for me even.

Plugged it into my Roku soundbar pro. The soundbar recognized it and connected to my network. Did not require any configuration or setup. For a change it was really plug and play.

More than likely works with all other Roku TVs as well. If it has a USB port, you can stick this in and convert it to ethernet.Make sure that you have an Ethernet cable, and that it’s long enough to stretch from your modem to the TV. Works great. No issues. Simple set up.

Works fine with Widows 11. Speed seems okay, but it gets warm while in use. This caught me off guard. It includes a mini CD with drivers for older versions of windows assuming you have a CD player which will accommodate mini CDs.

Have a Sharp Roku TV in the far back of the house that has been having a hard time loading, decided to wire it into my network. Problem is that this TV does not have an ethernet connection, its around 5 years old, but it does have a USB. Bought this adapter not certain it was going to work, unplugged the TV, plugged in the adapter, started the TV, and that was it. Settings showed a wired connection, it was plug and play, that easy. TV is working better. Adapter is sturdy and well made. Excellant purchase.

I bought this intentionally for my Wii couldn't connect it to the wifi wireless so I ended up buying this, works right out of the box but the internet connection is slow no other problems though!

I bought this for one reason: my Sharp Roku TV can't connect via wifi and has no ethernet port.I bought the TV on clearance and I suppose I got what I paid for. It's always had this weird thing where it will just turn itself off and restart over and over when I first turn it on. I have learned to turn it on and then walk away for ~10 minutes to let the TV figure itself out, and then it stays on and works fine, just no wifi. Which, honestly, is okay because I can get to Netflix or whatever through other devices (PS4, FireTV, etc).But I bought this hoping I could at least get the TV to stop freaking out about not having an internet connection. And...IT WORKED.After connecting this adapter and a factory reset, it no longer turns itself off over and over for 10 minutes. It still can't use Netflix because it wants to "Activate" itself before letting me use the apps, and it will only let me activate using wifi, which doesn't work. But the TV otherwise works perfectly and has ended 3+ years of headache with this TV.For anyone else wanting to use this for a Roku TV - it works! Depending on your model, it might not let you activate the TV over Ethernet, but it should let the TV function okay otherwise.

Il prodotto e ottima ma e stato reso per cambio progetto. in poche parole volevo trasformare il mio vecchio router adsl in un router 4G mettendo questo adattatore e una chiavetta 4G, ma alla fine ci ho ripensato ed ho restituito il prodotto. Funziona perfettamente ed i materiali sono di ottima qualità. consiglio l'acquisto.

Hasta el momento funcionando sin problema, lo compre para conectar a Internet mi Roku Streambar y responde sin problemas, quizás a mi parecer se calienta un poco mas de lo normal, pero eso de momento no ha afectado.

Wie erwartet und auf der Herstellerseite angegeben, funktioniert es mit dem Honor 6X. Einfach über OTG eingesteckt und sofort war die LAN-Verbindung da. Der OTG Adapter lag dem Gerät ja bei und der Netzwerkadapter wird über diesen mit dem Smartphone verbunden. Es muss nichts installiert werden, Routen nicht nötig. Läuft unter Android 9. Damit sind zu Hause W-LAN- Abbrüche Vergangenheit.Flugmodus o. ä. muss nicht eingestellt werden. Es gibt leider kein Entfernen - Button, so wie beim USB-Stick. Deshalb Kabel einfach abgezogen. Danach musste W-LAN über Einstellungen aktiviert werden. Über die Leiste im Bildschirm funktionierte es nicht. Werde noch testen, wie der Stromverbrauch dann ist. Dazu kann ich noch nichts sagen. Da gleichzeitiges Laden mit Netzwerkadapter nicht möglich ist, sicher auch noch ein entscheidendes Kriterium. Werde dann 20 m langes LAN-Kabel noch anschließen, was aber noch nicht angekommen ist.

Estaba buscando un adaptador para conectar a un cable Ethernet mi smartphone Huawei p9 ya que no le funciona el Wifi y no me detecta ninguna red. Funciona perfecto, casi 100 megas de bajada con lo que puedo conectarlo cuando estoy en casa para descargar actualizaciones, videos, etc y no tener que estar consumiendo datos. Muy buena compra. Lo que no se es si es compatible con todas las marcas de smarphones y tablets. Desde luego con el mio (un Huawei P9) si.
