D-Link USB Ethernet Adapter, High Speed Network PC Desktop USB 2.0 Fast (DUB-E100)

You read reviews and they are always mixed. I was attempting to run a customer service program on my laptop for a work from home company. My laptop is a little over one year. However, the program would not run. It gave me a network card error. My ethernet cable was plugged in and my LAN and wireless devices indicated all systems go. The company told me to try using USB ethernet adapter and specifically recommended D-Link. I went to the Microsoft Windows Vista website first to check compatability. Amazon shipped my item today. All I did was insert the USB cable in my computer and searched for drivers and told me it was ready to use. I then inserted the CD in my computer and the program ran and now I am going to be able to work a part-time job from the comfort of my home. Thanks Amazon and D-Link!

I decided to turn an old laptop into a router using pfSense since I needed IPSec VPN capabilities for work and I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a new router with this capability. Like most laptops, it only has one Ethernet port, so I decided to buy an adapter to add another port. After plugging in the adapter and installing pfSense 1.2.3, for some reason I could only get 50mbps down even though I could get 100 up. I upgraded to pfSense version 2-RC3 and it seemed to use a new driver for the adapter and now I can get the full 100 up and down. So overall I'm very pleased that it worked for what I wanted, and I'm glad the latest pfSense had a good driver for the adapter that allows me to use it at full speed.

I bought this back in Sept 2011 for use on my Macbook Air. It has been working great the past 5 months until recently. There's still a link light but I've been getting intermittent communication problems (pinging other machines periodically stalls and some times the system couldn't get a DHCP address). I've since bought another adapter to replace this one and I'm back in business. The product is cheap but don't expect it to last very long.

I have an Atom-based motherboard with a single built-in network interface. I needed to add a second network interface so that I could turn the machine into a router. This device worked perfectly for my needs. I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.04.3 and it was detected correctly and works perfectly. The connection has been rock solid for about a month now. The 100mb speed wasn't an issue for me since it's still faster than my DSL connection. Very pleased and highly recommended for Linux users.

I bought this to use on my Mac Mini after thinking I was having problems with the Apple USB Ethernet adapter I was using. (Turns out it was some other problem, but oh well.) Anyway, this worked great on the Mac, no drivers needed. Just plugged it in and configured it. My only complaint would be that it is a bit bulky.

Dislike this product because it does not auto negotiate non poe if connected to a poe switch. Connecting to a poe switch will damage this usb device

It seems like a good product now that I have it up and running. I've been on wireless the past few months because my network card stopped responding and with this product, my connection is noticeably a lot more stable and faster. I almost returned the product, however, because I could not get the driver to install. I tried on 3 different relatively new laptops, two of which are Toshibas, and one of which is a Dell - all running Windows XP. As soon as you plug it in, it is recognized, but if you try to install the driver from the CD as suggested, it does not work. It says the driver is missing or corrupt. I tried pointing it to the actual file but that did not work either (by the way the manual is garbage - whoever typed it up never actually tested what they wrote. There are spaces missing in file destination paths). I got it working after going to the D-link website and downloading the driver there and pointing to the specific file myself. Kind of a hassle for me... it might be for you as well, so be wary of that. On a better note though, Amazon.com is great. I ordered late on a Sunday night - Monday was a national Holiday (Columbus Day), and I received it late tuesday afternoon. It wasn't supposed to arrive until next Monday with the Free Shipping I selected, but it only took a day and a half.

Works great with my 2nd gen 11" Macbook Air. Since I use my MB Air as a desktop at home, plugged into an Apple Cinema Display, and a USB hub. This Ethernet to USB adapter speeds up my connection through my home network. Simply plugged it in and it started working right away. The only setup needed for me, was to change the priority of the network devices in the System Preferences, so that when plugged in, the USB would be prioritized over than the WiFi. I would not recommend it for portability as it was a bit larger than I expected (about four times as big as the Apple brand adapter). However for home use it worked out great.
