It does what it's supposed to.February 18, 2010 Harmless Gryphon(Nowhere worth mentioning) Pros:
It's an ethernet to USB adapter. It does exactly what it's supposed to, and nothing more.
Cons:
The cable is WAY too long for most things.

Perfection in an adapterSeptember 28, 2009 Isaac Lyman I love this adapter! When I downgraded my machine from Vista to XP, the ethernet port didn't work and I couldn't find drivers for it so I bought this. It worked instantly and has worked ever since. No hassle - just quick, easy internet. Nothing could be easier.
New life to an old computerAugust 28, 2009 John A. Koerner(Panama City, FL United States) Nowadays if a computer can't hook up to the internet then it's worthless. I abandoned my wireless network for a more secure ethernet home network. I acquired an old computer that didn't have a working ethernet port. I already have several other computers, and so I didn't want to spend a lot of money to get this hooked up to the internet.
This adapter was PERFECT!!! Easy to install on an 8 year old computer, and I was on the internet like a flash.
I don't think it's as fast as a dedicated ethernet connection to the motherboard, but even with USB version 1 my connection speeds are fast enough that I can watch Youtube and download small files without really noticing the difference. Unless you're seriously into downloading gigantic files, this is a good gadget to breath new life into an old computer without spending a lot.
I could have just bought a new USB 2.0 pci card for faster service, but I didn't want to spend that much on this old computer.
