Pros

Not a bad purchase and would recommend. The adapter is very neat and will travel easily in my laptop case once we're allowed to meetings in the real world.

All you need to do is plug it in into your laptop and the device doesn't need any more installations. Works on linux (xubuntu) and windows 10. Purchased this due to updated linux kernel 5.



Cons

Ethernet adaptor is plastic, not aluminium.

    My sole intention for buying this was to have a fast ethernet adapter to use with my nintendo switch because on wifi my switchs internet connection is poor and sometimes makes my online experience borderline unplayable


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This adapter is not recognised by the switch at all as such it is safe to assume that this adapter does not have that chipset and as such is incompatible

    But my advice is to just doublecheck the description and look around to see if the ethernet adapter youre looking to buy for your switch will actually work
