Intel 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

[1x 3.5mm Male] I got this for a PC that had no free slots for a 10 gigabit Ethernet card. It installed automatically on Windows 10 and has been perfectly reliable for the first couple weeks. Very solid performance at 5 gigabit.

[0.11 lb] Works fine with Windows and Mac. This adapter can basically max out a gigabit Ethernet connection. I have it connected to a USB port on the back of my monitor so that a single cable gets me not only power and video, but also a better internet connection.

[Integrated] Among several NUC's at home, I replaced a 5th gen NUC with this 13th gen model. It serves as a media center for my music and photo collection, hence the 1 TB SSD and 16 GB memory. For those unfamiliar with the Intel NUC product line, they are small (4x4), very quiet, well-engineered and supported by a three-year warranty. Over the years, I have installed dozens for customers and not a single one has failed so far. The performance is impressive. The clip that keeps the power cord from inadvertently being yanked out is a fairly recent and useful addition. Intel has excellent documentation (assembly instructions, product specs) that I recommend. During installation of Windows 11, neither the wired Ethernet nor the Wi-Fi adapter were recognized which required an Ethernet-to-USB adapter. Others may add the network drivers during installation. Installing the Intel Driver & Support Assistant gets the optimal BIOS, firmware and drivers in place. Now that Intel has sold the NUC line to Asus, I hope that they will continue the development and support of this great product.

[16 GB] I finally decided to sign up for a streaming TV service, but my circa 2016 Samsung Smart TV was too old to run the latest streaming apps. After doing a LOT of comparison of Roku, Fire, etc. I settled on the NVIDIA SHIELD TV and I'm extremely happy. I wanted a device that could support Gigabit ethernet (instead of operating via WiFi) and the SHIELD fit the bill. The only other device that fully supports Gigabit ethernet is Apple TV, but since I'm already in the Android ecosystem the NVIDIA SHIELD was really a no-brainer. Very satisfied user.

[10 W] Add Gigabit Ethernet port to laptop. The Yoga 6 build-in Wi-Fi is unstable, & it doesn't come with Ethernet port. Adding this adapter would allow it to connect the network with stable wired connection. With the extra USB ports, you can connect more accessories such as wireless mouse & keyboard.

[Cat 6] Not much to say, it's a USB to Ethernet adapter. Works exactly like you would want it to.

[0.115 lb] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Belkin USB-C to Ethernet + Charging adapter is amazing tool to have with you when you need an ethernet connection. The USB-C to Ethernet + Charging adapter charges your connected device while also providing an ethernet connection, so no need for multiple connectors. I have been using this on my Android phone and my laptop, both devices have a USB-C port and my Belkin adapter worked great on both devices. It provided an adequate charge and a stable internet connection without any issues. The adapter was immediately recognized by both devices and there was no need to install any software to make the adapter work. The adapter is also small and portable enough to carry with you anywhere you go. I would highly recommend this adapter to anyone looking for an ethernet + charging adapter.

[0.15 lb] works great, does not heat up as much as other ethernet adapter I've had.

[160 Gb/s ] Using the 10 gigabit ports really speed up access to my NAS. Easy to configure and so far works great.

[1x 4-Pin Pump] I chose this motherboard because I cared about having Thunderbolt connectivity, but I also wanted to have a 10 gigabit network port on the circuit board without having to lose a precious PCI slot. I also used all the NVMe channels for four 4TB SSDs and installed the very latest generation of DDR RAM and a RTX 4080 graphic card that being from ASUS as well had the the advantage of being thinner.
