Reasonably priced. Review: All working now after replacement =D - Update 2: Just received a replacement from Cable Matters, and as expected, Windows 10 recognized the device instantly without needing to install driver manually, on USB 3.0 ports!! Good speed and reliable connection after 2-hour gaming/streaming! The first adapter should have worked the first time but I'm giving it a five star for the company's fast response and easy resolution. They included prepaid envelop for me to drop off and return the original adapter to them. The first adapter must have been defective. So anyone having issue with this adapter working on USB 3.0 ports should try getting into contact with Cable Matters. They can probably take care of you very well =) Update: after reading reviews for another product on desertcart, I found people are having issues with USB 3.0 ports. So I tried this adapter on a USB 2.0 port, and boom it worked, even without manually installing drivers as Windows 10 recognized the device and downloaded driver by itself! However, I bought this cable for my laptop, which does not have a USB 2.0 port. If anyone successfully used this adapter on a USB 3.0 port in Windows 10, please let me know. Much appreciation! I don't know how other people can get this thing (UBS 3.0 Version) connected to their computers. There should be no driver needed for Windows 10, because the Windows was able to detect the driver and install them automatically. Even so, after it failed to work that way, I had hope that maybe using a driver directly from the ASIX website, magic will happen. It turns out magic rarely happens. Tried the latest standalone driver as well as the driver installer directly from ASIX, Windows 10 is still giving hardware malfunction notice. Specifically, I've attached the error message to this review as screenshots. First one is the pop-up notification, the second one was the window that gives more info after you click the error message in the notification center. I tried this adapter across various Windows 10 machines and it failed to work on all alike. I suspect a defective hardware. Bummer. I was getting this adapter in a rush to get a project done, but now I'll have to wait for another couple days. ## Features - USB 3 to Ethernet adapter adds network connectivity to a computer with a USB 3.0 port; The USB to Gigabit Ethernet adapter supports SuperSpeed USB 3.0 data transfer rate up to 5 Gbps for 1000 BASE-T network performance with backwards compatibility to 10/100 Mbps networks; Connect the USB computer network adapters with a Cat 6 Ethernet cable (sold separately) for the best performance - Wireless alternative USB to RJ45 adapter for connecting to the Internet in Wi-Fi dead zones, streaming large video files, or downloading a software upgrade through a wired home or office LAN; USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter provides faster data transfers and better security than most wireless connections; Ideal solution for replacing a failed network card or upgrading the bandwidth of an older computer - Driver free installation with native driver support in Chrome, Mac, and Windows OS; The USB to Network Adapter supports important performance features including Wake-on-Lan (WoL), Full-Duplex (FDX) and Half-Duplex (HDX) Ethernet, Crossover Detection, Backpressure Routing, Auto-Correction (Auto MDIX), Preboot Execution Environment (PXE), Supports MAC address pass-through (MAC clone) with the Cable Matters EZ-Dock utility software (Windows) - Lightweight Ethernet to USB adapter weighs less than 1 ounce for easy portability in your laptop case; Add a standard RJ45 port to your Ultrabook or MacBook with a USB 3.0 port for file transfers, video steaming and gaming with this USB network adapter - Chrome & Mac & Windows compatible USB lan adapter for Windows 11/10/8/8.1/7/Vista and MacOS 10.8 and up; The USB Ethernet Adapter 3.0 does not support Windows RT ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BBD7NFU | | Best Sellers Rank | #47 in USB Computer Network Adapters | | Brand | Cable Matters | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Desktop | | Compatible Operating System Family | ChromeOS, Linux, MacOS, Windows | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 10,468 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.3, USB | | Data Transfer Rate | 1 gigabytes_per_second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00738435982911 | | Hardware Interface | Ethernet, USB | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 2.2"L x 1"W x 0.6"H | | Manufacturer | Cable Matters | | Mfr Part Number | FBA_202013-BLACK | | Model Number | FBA_202013-BLACK | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 2.2"L x 1"W x 0.6"H | | UPC | 738435982911 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cable Matters - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop, Desktop - **Compatible Operating System Family:** ChromeOS, Linux, MacOS, Windows - **Data Link Protocol:** Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.3, USB - **Data Transfer Rate:** 1 Gigabytes Per Second - **Hardware Interface:** Ethernet, USB - **Product Dimensions:** 2.2"L x 1"W x 0.6"H - **UPC:** 738435982911 - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count ## Images ![USB to Ethernet Adapter, USB 3.0 Gigabit Network | Plug & Play, PXE MAC Address Clone, 10/100/1000Mbps, for Laptop - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617yy+u6VQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why doesn't this adapter work with my TV?** A: TVs typically don’t have the required drivers for this adapter.

If the driver is already included, the adapter should function properly. **Q: Can I use this adapter with a Nintendo Switch?** A: No, this adapter is not compatible with the Nintendo Switch game console. **Q: Does it require drivers?** A: No drivers are needed for Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS.

I plugged the Cable Matters into my ONNs USB slot then attached my ethernet cable from my router to the other end of the Cable Matters adapter and turned the ONN streamer back on. Instantly the ONN recognized my internet! For the price, you can't go wrong. Glad I didn't give up trying to find an ethernet adapter that really works as a true plug and play for my streaming box.. Just as a note, my TV is a TCL Roku smart TV and the Cable Matters adapter and ONN 4k pro streamer ( 1st gen) all work great together. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cable Matters Plug & Play USB to Ethernet Adapter with PXE, MAC Address Clone Support (USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet, Ethernet to USB, Ethernet Adapter for Laptop) Supporting 10/100/1000Mbps - TP-Link USB to Ethernet Adapter (UE306), Supports Nintendo Switch, Foldable USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Adapter, Supports Windows, Linux, Apple MacBook OS 10.11 - 12(Driver Required) - TP-Link TL-SG105, 5 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch, Network Hub, Ethernet Splitter, Plug & Play, Fanless Metal Design, Shielded Ports, Traffic Optimization,Navy Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/1287120-usb-to-ethernet-adapter-usb-3-0-gigabit-network-plug](https://www.desertcart.co/products/1287120-usb-to-ethernet-adapter-usb-3-0-gigabit-network-plug) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
