Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This usb adapter is worth the price! Performs as advertised. Also very reliable.

Startech network adapter works great with my dell xps 9570. Provides up to 1 gb transfer speeds. And one of my backup strategies of syncing files between the two systems is now much quicker.

Usb-c dongle provides a standard wired ethernet connector. Bought two of these to build a three-interface router. Wanted to decrease our wifi congestion by connecting my mac airbook to our ethernet.

Cons

Works great, until it starts working only intermittently after several months. If any step is out of order it refuses to come up.

I hate writing bad reviews but either i'm really unlucky or this product is junk. These devices are like incandescent light bulbs and only last a relatively short time. Not very happy with the shelf life of the item.

The ideapad 710s is not compatible with windows 10. The chipset is an asix ax88179, which isn't included in macos. The documentation only mentions compatibility for windows xp, 7, 8 and 8.

The usb-c connector has a positive tight fit into the port on the computer so does not wiggle or become disconnected accidentally.

Price

Not expensive and worked great and kept me up and running till i was able to replace the wireless chip.

Princess impression: this usb adapter is great and reasonably priced

Without a doubt, it's the best $25 i've ever spent on any kind of computer equipment ever.

Its a low price point, very small and portable, so its an easy way to provide ethernet connection to a device that does not have ports.

Shipping

Then i found this usb adapter and was back online just as fast as amazon delivers their packages… (magically in one day)the ada... Read More

And kudos to amazon for a 1-day early delivery.

Competitiveness

Recently got ethernet throughout the house, to get more out of the gigabit fiber service, and found it worked better on some pc... Read More

Well worth the few extra dollars compared to similar-looking adapters.

Even though both are using realtek chipset.

Macos indicates it uses a realktek chipset.
