USB2-E100

I bought this adapter because occasionally I need to connect my Nexus 7 using Ethernet rather than WiFI. Note that to use it with the Nexus 7 you will need a USB OTG cable - these are available for £2 or £3 on Amazon. Connecting the Nexus 7 using the adapter is very simple - switch on "Airplane Mode" (I don't know if that's necessary, but it's a quick and easy way of switching off the WiFi). Plug the USB OTG cable into the Nexus, plus the adapter into the cable, switch on the Nexus then plug an Ethernet cable into the adapter. The lights come on and after a few seconds of activity (presumably while the DHCP server allocates an IP address) you're up and running. It really couldn't be much simpler and ping times and connection speed are all as expected. Overall I am extremely pleased with both the ease of use of the adapter and also it's apparent durability. It appears to be well made but time will tell on that - I'll update this review should I encounter any problems with the thing Note: My Nexus 7 is an un-rooted "stock" device.

My need for this product was initiated by my wife wanting a "mini computer" to show photos to her retired "Ladies who lunch" pals. So, after 4 weeks of researching which Tablet to buy, I bought a Versus TouchTab Dual Core. VERSUS TOUCHTAB 7" DUAL CORE 16GB TABLET ANDROID 4.1 BLUETOOTH One of my purchase criteria was that when I was at home I wanted to hard-wire the Tablet to my internet router to take advantage of the higher bit-rates offered by RJ45 LAN connection over WiFi. My research soon uncovered that some manufacturers (for example Samsung Galaxy and HP Slate), appear to mask or remove the necessary software switches that "enable ethernet" in the "Settings" menu of their products. In my experience this Plugable USB to Lan Connector works absolutely perfectly. It comes with a mini CD containing drivers (if you need them), and there is further advice on the manufacturers web site, however I didn't need either. I did this: Turn on your Android and open "Settings", turn OFF "WiFi" and "Bluetooth". Open "More... Device" (note this is the s/w switch some manufacturers appear to be masking), press "Ethernet" and then tick "Use Ethernet". Now turn OFF your Android, plug in the USB to Lan adapter and re-start your Android. I agree with one of the earlier reviewers, I now need a second Plugable USB to Lan connector to keep in my away/holiday bag.

I have to admit being a bit sceptical about whether this would work - but I was very pleasantly surprised. First off, I ordered the item quite late in the day and was surprised to see next day delivery was still offered. I paid extra for this and was expecting to seek a refund when the item didn't arrive the next day! It did - very impressive - and I was able to take it on a trip with me. I had bought a separate connector cable to give me a full size USB port for my Motorola Xoom tablet and needed a USB to ethernet adapter. I travel a lot and often end up in hotels with rubbish wifi but fairly stable wired internet. I also wanted something to speed up downloads when I'm at home. I wasn't convinced that any of this was going to work to be honest, but when I plugged it all in and it immediately found the internet without any intervention from me I was very pleased. I double checked it was actually connecting over ethernet by switching off wifi on the Xoom. All good. I still have to work out why WD2go doesn't see my 3TB MyBook over ethernet but is fine over wifi, but I think that's a WD2go issue, not anything to do with this connector. So, long and short, wired is a lot faster than wifi and I'm able to move stuff on and off the Xoom, and browse, get email etc a lot quicker than before. Happy customer.

This is one of the better USB to Ethernet adapters on the market, in large part because the AX88772 chipset is well supported by nearly all modern OSes, and there's decent driver support for those without drivers included. I'm particularly pleased to note - especially given the difficulties I've had with other USB to Ethernet adapters - that this unit works fine under both Linux and FreeBSD without a need for any additional proprietary drivers or kernel blobs.

I recently bought a macbook air without considering whether it had an ethernet port, but it is so slimline that on investigation I found that I was without one. Not a problem with wi fi available most the time - BUT then the wi fi went down and I was stranded. So thank heavens for companies like Plugable Technologies! I checked out a few connectors on line, and bought another model first because it was cheaper, but then found that it needed setting up with a DVD, which all got overly complicated, and neither me nor my partner could get it to work. I returned it to Amazon and got a full refund. Money that I then spent on buying the Plugable USB. I admit I was a tad anxious after that because I had read that many connectors had issues with drivers and compatibility etc. So when Plugable Technologies connector arrived (really speedily, only 2 days to get to me) I took it out of the packet, plugged it into the USB and KABANG it worked, seamlessly and almost instantly. My heart was in my mouth for a moment, as it configured itself, but then it sprung into action. Phew and horrah were my reactions. Its nice and neat and I like the cable version as it allows the bulky bit to be round the back of the macbook out of my way. The first one I bought was a plug in block that stuck out the side, demanding room and more easy to damage. The flexible cable eases both those issues. Job done.

This works fine but have subsequently bought an adapter which is less bulky and had an ethernet, vga, and a spare usb socket on it! Much better!

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.

good and worked fine with surface pro

Fonctionne très bien avec ma WiiU. :)

This was exactly what I needed to link up my router to the Touchmix 16 mixer- in order to get the WIFI working better. The 2.0 was the key- buying a 3.0 means you waste your money as the Touchmix 16 needs an older version of adaptor to enable it to work. I tried 3- 3.0 ones and they didn't work at all.
