Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Usb to rj45 adapter gives 800-900mb download speed on laptop. Perfect for a hardwire connection and it's on a desktop.



Cons

Switched it back to this one. Didn't change the download speed one iota. Requires drivers - but are obscure, unintuative, written in chine language, compressed (unnecessary and outdated) with no automatic installation.

No warranty response from seller despite two tries over more than 6 weeks. Clearly points to this device not functioning correctly, at least not with the roku.

It's the usb nic that's faulty, not the ethernet cable or the router. The adapter logs into the router but cannot acquire the dhcp ip address to obtain internet access. Everything says it's plug and play, it is not plug and plays.
