Durable and trouble free

I have been using this adapter for years and it performs flawlessly on on every lap top I own from Win7 to Chrome on a Chromebook. I love the metal enclosure that I can use with a ground strap to send those winter static zaps elsewhere. I bought more spares in case it goes out of production. I doubt my winter static zaps will ever go end of life.

Adapter Works Well

Fits well, solid construction. You can be rough with it and it won’t break easily.

Wait, drivers are included INSIDE the device? .. ok.

This is CRAZY! Is this how they do it normally and I'm only just finding out now?When you plug this into your computer, instead of installing the USB network card, it installs a new "CD drive." It shows up in My Computer (or whatever it's called now) using the next available letter, "containing" a "CD" inside labeled "RTL_UL." Open it and it will have (or auto-run) a single executable that (1) installs the actual driver for the network device itself and (2) uninstalls the virtual CD drive. After that it works just fine.I've seen this done before years ago on other items, but only rarely. However it usually tells you in the instructions to look for a new drive and to run the installer that appears. Would have saved me half an hour of digging around in Device Manager trying to figure out why I don't see a new NIC appear. Anyway, I'm happy with how it's performing. Just would have been nice to have a heads-up.

Works in Linux

Works out of the box as expected in Debian. No complaints.

Do You Have An Older 10/100 NIC Card?? Buy This Now!!!

I have the latest & greatest Comcast White Cube Router, and could NOT for the life of me figure out why my speeds were so slow compared to what they kept telling me by email I should be getting. I tried everything I could, replaced cables, upgraded the splitters....everything. No dice. I even called Comcast, & they ran a battery of tests, & said I was getting a very high speed to the home, but I couldn't see it.So they sent a tech out, and he was great, very diligent. For two hours, he ran a ton of tests, checked the line from the street right to the router, and I still wasn't seeing high speeds I should have been seeing. He couldn't understand it either. After he left, I did hours of more online searching, and came to find out that my laptop was one of the last models to use a 10/100 NIC card, as the super internet fast speeds were just now starting to come about. I'm not a HARD computer user, so the older card wasn't a huge deal. It seemed fast enough for me. But when I found out I should be getting up to 5X the speed I was, if not more, I wanted it. Anyways, I found this StarTech.Com 3.0 USB Gigabit adapter listed on Amazon, and seemed to be THE answer I was looking for, so I got it. 48 hours later, you can see the difference in speeds. It does EXACTLY what is says it will, and I'm thrilled with it. Without a doubt, it's THE best $25 I've ever spent on ANY kind of computer equipment EVER. Big Fan!!

Easy to install and has worked perfectly

The built in Ethernet adapter on my almost 10-year old Lenovo ThinkPad W700 get fried by lightning a couple years ago. Fortunately, the Wi-Fi adapter was not damaged, so I still had Internet and network connectivity, but at Wi-Fi speeds. That was not at problem until the W700 was replaced about 18 months ago by a Lenovo ThinkPad P71 and the Lenovo W700 was moved upstairs. Our house has a metal roof and the Wi-Fi throughput is significantly degraded in that area of our house.Not a big problem for Internet usage but moving large files, doing backups, or syncing files between the two-system using our LAN became painfully slow. So much so that I started using the old 'sneaker net' approach and began moving files and data back and forth with thumb drives. My W700 is from the days before USB 3.0 and only has native USB 2.0 ports. USB 2.0 thumb drives is certainly faster than weak Wi-Fi but still relatively slow, and always cumbersome.The first thing I did was obtain a StarTech USB 3.0 ExpressCard. The USB 3.0 ExpressCard has worked perfectly. Having one USB 3.0 port means I can use USB 3.0 Thumb drives. USB 3.0 connectivity at both ends of the LAN made moving larger amounts of data faster but I still had the hassle of physically carrying thumb drives back and forth, and up and down stairs, between the two Lenovo systems. I tried a USB 2.0 ethernet adapter, but speeds were about the same as Wi-Fi.Then I tried the StarTech USB 3.0 Ethernet adapter plugged into the StarTech USB 3.0 ExpressCard. I had no idea if this would work and crossed my fingers as I rebooted Windows 10. And work it did, and very well I might add. Now I can once again move large blocks of data such as 200 or 300 15mb-18mb photo files between my two Lenovo laptops in a minute or less. And one of my backup strategies of syncing files between the two systems is now much quicker.
