THANK YOU FOR THIS! I used Netflix to check the speed. It was 99. I have a Samsung QLED TV. After plugging in the USB 3.0 my speed is 221. My apps load fast now. I love it.
if your WiFi is dead, there is a good chance that the card is replaceable. You might even look in there and find the antenna wires not fully seated. The antenna wires are thin coaxial cables so if you accidentally pull the connector off good luck getting them back on and working. If it does happen there are internally installable WiFi antennas cheap. There are 2 or 3 different size connectors for those and they all look the same so take a picture of the card and have the model number of it on hand if you have any doubts which one they are. These are tricky to connect to the card so if you have any condition that makes you shake at all or even bad eyesight, take it to a computer shop or get someone better suited to help you. These connectors might be as small as one or two millimeters and can be frustrating to connect so if you are impatient or get frustrated easily you may want to get someone to help you.
Many have M.2 slot for WiFi. I recommend using Intel WiFi card as they are the most reliable. Given that your laptop have regular m.2 slot, you can put in an Intel BE200 otherwise if your m.2 slot have extra notch then Intel AX210 is the max you can put in. They're not expensive either
My plan was 800mbps (free upgrade from 100mbps) but was only able to use 100mbps as the modem is the main issue. Replaced it but only managed to get it up to 100mbps on my laptop via ethernet port as that's the maximum that my laptop can support plus, my laptop modem is maxed out at 72.2mbps. This dongle I would say is the best option to go for
newest gaming laptop doesnt come with a LAN port, and their manufacturers build them with high end wifi processor which is dumb so in a future i will buy this
If you are using windows 10 and have done a recent update then chances are thats why your wifi failed - Windows 10 has had nothing but problem after problem when it updates the OS - Drivers get corrupted - maybey think on switching to linux. I tried windows 10 on a brand new Acer Swift 1 and the driver for the Bluetooth was causing issue of cutting out - as soon as I switched to linux mint no more cutting out which tells me that Microsoft is not doing a proper job in testing as I heard the testing they do is in virtual mode not in real time physical mode
@@Econoballer I'd say - be careful with windows. I've got linux mint running on my new Acer and no problems have popped up other than the bios being fussy with the new OS. It's almost to the point where I'm wanting to get a proper linux laptop from system76 and the heck with Microsoft
Can this device be used to connect a external HD drive (USB out) to a networkswitch so all computers in that network can make contact with the HD drive?
I bought a Wi-Fi extender that has an Ethernet port, I connect my laptop wired, I ran my Ethernet cable from the extender to my laptop USB to Ethernet adapter and the speed is the same if I connect it directly to the Ethernet port on the laptop.

2 questions. Will this work if I plug the USB to Ethernet Adapter into a charger and into a wall socket, and will this work in a first generation Xbox One?
first answer, no, it won't work if you plug into a charger and into a wall socket. You want to get power through ethernet wire? second answer, it could work but first gens might be a bit tricky. You could try it and if it doesn't work you could return it. :)
can someone plz help me i have lenovo flex 5 it has no lan port i got one connector yet idk how to activate it...my laptop keeps connecing through wi fi
Ethernet is not an option, but requirement because of all scientific studies on electromagnetic fields, check out sciencedaily and pubmed and enter keywords emf, wifi and such. We are not even talking cancer, but insomnia, lack of energy, brain fog, forgetfulness, hyperactivity.
Only works if you have a USB 3.0 on your laptop or Smart TV. You will not see much difference if you plug it into a USB 2.0 and will not be recognized.

I think some people have tried to do this and it hasn't worked. Your laptop needs to be able to accept a video source and I don't know how exactly to make that happen. :(
Do you know if there's any way to do the reverse? I have a device that only works with ethernet, so when my Internet is down I can't use it.

I would like to get a pair of something to extend USB. I wonder if one coverts it to coaxial similar to MoCA. If you looked into powerline adapters and stuff you may have discovered MoCA would be more likely to give you your full internet speed or close at least. That leads me to wonder if something similar exists to extend a USB connection. That would be for people like me who have coaxial cables already in the wall but not ethernet.

yes, it totally should. I'm not the biggest fan of powerline adaptors though, you have to get the really expensive ones to get high traffic. I hope this helps!
okay thanks a lot, i'm in a bit of a situation - i need WiFi to reach our garage from the house and it's 20m away from the house, do you know any good ways for me to get a good WiFi in there? (there is a cable that leads from the house to the garage which is why i was thinking of the Powerline Adapters...and I have also purchased a Netgear EX2700 N300 Wireless Wifi Extender but i couldn't get it setup so ended up returning it...)
So if I get one ? I’ll plug the usb to the laptop and then the Ethernet cable into the little box, and the other side of the Ethernet cable to the Xbox one , will that be okay ?
Hey bro, I faced the exact same problem as you faced with the ethernet speed. I researched but couldn't get a concrete understanding of why this is happening. I got two laptops, one with a dedicated ethernet port and the other doesn't have one. When I connected lan to the laptop with a dedicated ethernet port, I got up to 95% of the internet speed which is really good. But when I connected my other laptop with the ethernet to USB adapter, I just got 3% of the internet speed. I used USB 2.0 ethernet to USB adaptor which supports up to 100mbps and connected to ss USB 3.0 port on my laptop. This concluded that the problem is either the ethernet to USB adapter or its compatibility with the USB port. Please let me know if you were able to solve the speed issue. I don't think it has anything to do with a router.
thanks for the thorough description! I think it has a lot to do with USB port compatibility. If you got a usb to ethernet adaptor that was usb 3.0 compatible, then I believe you would see faster speed. you could most likely return the adapter.
Greetings. My building is old and due to storms or rodents nawing on the wires, the apt had to be rewired.

How do I setup to be able to use my cell hotspot as the internet source, allowing printing from wireless printer and my laptop? I do have an Ethernet cable. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I work from home and this has caused quite a quandary.🥺✌️
Is it safe to use these all the time, I heard you can burn out your usb port? Also what if you also want to use a mouse and the laptop only has one usb 2, one usb 3-a, and one usb-c ports?
i have used it constantly since the start of this video post on an older laptop and so far, it hasn't burned out my usb port. If you have a usb-c port, I would get an ethernet adapter that uses that port and use the mouse on the usb 2 port. :)
great question. I would say no. Are you thinking about plugging the usb piece into your printer and running the cat cable to your router? If so, then the answer is definitely no. :)
I don't know of anyone trying that. I don't have a smart tv so I don't have a way of trying it. Does the smart tv have an ethernet connection in the back?
@@kristallopez482 I'm thinking that it might not work. I don't want to tell you, "what have you got to lose? Try it!" because I don't know what might happen. :)
Would this work on my ROKU tv. I have a TCL built in ROKU tv with 3 hdmi, digital, arc and usb... But no ethernet. To watch tubi/ youtube/ roku apps I currently use wifi and was wondering if this would be a way to get the stability of a wired connection without an ethernet port? The routers in a different room and does have speed/connection issues occasionally.
Can I use this on my gaming pc? I’m also curious if I have to plug one end to my router? I’m trying to avoid that considering my router is in a different room and I don’t want a long cable running through my house, any idea?
Are you trying to get ethernet connection to your phone? I am not sure, but I doubt it would work. Most phones only support basic devices like external storage and game controllers through an OTG cable. The phone still needs the software to be able to convert USB to ethernet.
Hey , buddy i need to play LAN game with my friend , he lives next to my house. 20-30 meters far. What should i do to set up LAN? The way that i look at is that i have to buy Hub and three ethernet cables(For 3 devices).
If you want to play via lan with just one friend, you can buy a "crossover" ethernet cable which is designed to be able to talk back and forth between devices. I'm not sure if crossover cables work for regular internet connection. If you want to connect more than 2 devices, you need to buy a network switch, and an ethernet cable for each device, all you need to do is power the network switch, and plug in an ethernet cable for each device, then you will be all linked up via LAN. If you want each device to connect to the internet as well, you need to connect the switch to your modem or router.
Does anyone know if I run my Ethernet cable into my laptop, then the other side into the adapter, then use another usb to outlet adapter, will I be on Ethernet?
@@Econoballer drivers are for windows specifically, since nintendo switch works on its on operating system, usb adapters like this wont work. Nintendo only builds in basic drivers for controllers and storage devices. This won't work on any consoles for this reason.
So my ethernet cable (cat6) has a problem... Every time I plug it in and I go into adapter settings I'm on a pc btw the ethernet cable doesn't show up I don't know what's wrong... sooo if I use this will it work?
so sounds like your laptop has an ethernet port? Maybe the port is bad or maybe your cable is bad. Try this adapter to trouble shoot it. If this adapter works then it could be that your ethernet port is bad. I hope this helps!
on a smart tv with a usb port? No, I do not think this will work. I believe your tv will need certain drivers to make this work and I don't know if it's possible to install those drivers. sorry. :)
The idea of USB port for TV is to play media from a USB flash drive or see photos. I have a non-smart TV that has a USB port. This port is to show photos from flash drive and also to update the TV firmware. All TV ports can be accessed by the input menu. To update firmware, it needs to download the firmware from the TV manufacture website to a flash drive and connect to the USB port on TV.
Not at all. Your mileage may vary of course, but that depends more on your router connection speed as opposed to adapters like these. For me, this adapter is a godsend. :)
Interesting video! Thank you for the suggestion. Now i just need to solve the other issue: a usb hub to allow me to connect more usb devices into the laptop. Doing twitch streaming and we will need a port for the capture card, the adapter, and for now the headphones, as they connect via bluetooth or wireless dongle. What are your thoughts? I've seen combo usb hub+rj45 adapters. Are they worth it?
I've seen those hubs as well. They do work, but some work better than others. I don't use them myself but a friend of mine does and she has no complaints. :)
Cache is reason for better speed? I need micro usb to power a Firestick., Green does not have one. Tks for video. I watched 4 of them from you so far. Good audio, short, to the point. +1
Here is what you need to interface the FireStick to the Ugreen USB ethernet adapter. Gives the FireStick a standard USB port. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXAC1ZW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
yes it does. :) Here's a quick link: amzn.to/2I1dMNk You'll have a lot of tentacles hanging around but you will get a standard USB port to attach all sorts of goodies to it. :)
Keyboard RF Rii 8, FlashDrive-pen drive, thirdUSB is open port, and Ethernet connection. This is on the Ugreen 3usb hub/ethernet device mentioned with link above. Used with FireStick Gen2
That is good price. Here in Czechia I have 500 Mbit/s (symetrical) for 600 CZK / month (about 23 €) provided via SC UPC fiber which is quite rare in here, otherwise you rely on DOCSIS cable internet (crappy upload) or worse on crappy ADSL :/
FBI it increased speed by about 3x but still isn’t enough for stadia. Stadia you need google fiber or at least 500mbps. I have 100mbps and this didn’t make a difference. It works as intended and I just plugged it in and it works. It’s worth the money for sure..👍🏼

So if I get one ? I’ll plug the usb to the laptop and then the Ethernet cable into the little box, and the other side of the Ethernet cable to the Xbox one , will that be okay ?
I'm not really sure of the xbox setup to be honest. :0
1mbps up and down? Damn dude! I just got one of these for my T14s
down
Hey bro, I faced the exact same problem as you faced with the ethernet speed. I researched but couldn't get a concrete understanding of why this is happening. I got two laptops, one with a dedicated ethernet port and the other doesn't have one. When I connected lan to the laptop with a dedicated ethernet port, I got up to 95% of the internet speed which is really good. But when I connected my other laptop with the ethernet to USB adapter, I just got 3% of the internet speed. I used USB 2.0 ethernet to USB adaptor which supports up to 100mbps and connected to ss USB 3.0 port on my laptop. This concluded that the problem is either the ethernet to USB adapter or its compatibility with the USB port. Please let me know if you were able to solve the speed issue. I don't think it has anything to do with a router.
thanks for the thorough description! I think it has a lot to do with USB port compatibility. If you got a usb to ethernet adaptor that was usb 3.0 compatible, then I believe you would see faster speed. you could most likely return the adapter.
Greetings. My building is old and due to storms or rodents nawing on the wires, the apt had to be rewired. I also have ATT Uverse, which is still an active account but not usable until the task is done. How do I setup to be able to use my cell hotspot as the internet source, allowing printing from wireless printer and my laptop? I do have an Ethernet cable. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I work from home and this has caused quite a quandary.🥺✌️
Is it safe to use these all the time, I heard you can burn out your usb port? Also what if you also want to use a mouse and the laptop only has one usb 2, one usb 3-a, and one usb-c ports?
i have used it constantly since the start of this video post on an older laptop and so far, it hasn't burned out my usb port. If you have a usb-c port, I would get an ethernet adapter that uses that port and use the mouse on the usb 2 port. :)
Does this USB adapter work for communicating with a printer?
great question. I would say no. Are you thinking about plugging the usb piece into your printer and running the cat cable to your router? If so, then the answer is definitely no. :)
Does it work for weird connection on ps4 the usb adaptor
yes, it totally should. :)
how do you tell if you need a USB 2.0 or 3.0?
check the specifications on your computer, you should be able to see if your USB ports are 2.0 or 3.0. :)
@@Econoballer thank you
Hi I've question. Is this able to be configured to get static IP address using Windows?
hmmmm, it should but I'm not 100% sure.
Can it be used on revers. Like from a internet conection from usb to ethernet to conect to a smart tv?
I don't know of anyone trying that. I don't have a smart tv so I don't have a way of trying it. Does the smart tv have an ethernet connection in the back?
@@Econoballer yes it does , i have searched so many videos on youtube and have found nothing about it.
@@kristallopez482 I'm thinking that it might not work. I don't want to tell you, "what have you got to lose? Try it!" because I don't know what might happen. :)
Can’t u just connect your Ethernet cord to your pc?Kinda new to this stuff
if you have the proper ethernet port, then yes, you can do that. This adapter is great for when you don't have the ethernet port on your laptop. :)
Yo do you need an NIC in your laptop for this to work?
nope, I'm pretty sure you don't need one. :)
Thanks
Only really works if your TV has USB 3.0 connects. Many don’t.
You can try to get a USB to Ethernet Adapter that is USB 2.0....maybe that will work?
Would this work on my ROKU tv. I have a TCL built in ROKU tv with 3 hdmi, digital, arc and usb... But no ethernet. To watch tubi/ youtube/ roku apps I currently use wifi and was wondering if this would be a way to get the stability of a wired connection without an ethernet port? The routers in a different room and does have speed/connection issues occasionally.
Do you know of one that will be compatible with an LG TV
I'm thinking it might not be.
Can I use this on my gaming pc? I’m also curious if I have to plug one end to my router? I’m trying to avoid that considering my router is in a different room and I don’t want a long cable running through my house, any idea?
Yes, you have to plug one end in your router. Otherwise, it won't work. eBay sells 100ft wires for like $10 so try that.
@@hasinimam2240 Thanks Hasin!
I just plug my cell phone into computer and hit tether and bam I got connection somehow, I didn't think it would work it surprised the po*p out of me
what if u put the usb in a phone adapter and the ethernet in your pc
I don't know if that will work but I don't think it would harm your phone!
Are you trying to get ethernet connection to your phone? I am not sure, but I doubt it would work. Most phones only support basic devices like external storage and game controllers through an OTG cable. The phone still needs the software to be able to convert USB to ethernet.
@@RavenWindrunner Thanks for that insight!
Do you still need a network card with this or does this replace a network card?
nope, you don't need a network card. First thing I would suggest is to check your current speed. If you're on wifi, how fast is your internet speed?
Hey , buddy i need to play LAN game with my friend , he lives next to my house. 20-30 meters far. What should i do to set up LAN?
The way that i look at is that i have to buy Hub and three ethernet cables(For 3 devices).
Sorry buddy, I don't know, I don't play LAN games. Maybe someone can help here? Anybody?
If you want to play via lan with just one friend, you can buy a "crossover" ethernet cable which is designed to be able to talk back and forth between devices. I'm not sure if crossover cables work for regular internet connection.
If you want to connect more than 2 devices, you need to buy a network switch, and an ethernet cable for each device, all you need to do is power the network switch, and plug in an ethernet cable for each device, then you will be all linked up via LAN. If you want each device to connect to the internet as well, you need to connect the switch to your modem or router.
@@RavenWindrunner totally agree, thank you!
Does anyone know if I run my Ethernet cable into my laptop, then the other side into the adapter, then use another usb to outlet adapter, will I be on Ethernet?
hhmmmm, I don't think so. I don't know if anything will happen in that case. Have you tried it yet?
which one should i get today if i would
sorry?
i have a lenovo touch aswell
*laughs in 350 mbps*
lol
Laughs in 1gbps
@@sable7034 i pay for 1 gigabit but only get 350 mbps on WiFi on Ethernet i get like 900-1050
I tried using this adapter with my Nintendo Switch and it didn’t work 😔
Thanks for this insight, it really helps. I didn't know that?
Some need driver's well most wireless and USB Ethernet ones do because if no driver's it acts just like a normal USB
@@ninjabrox and you can't install the driver?
@@Econoballer drivers are for windows specifically, since nintendo switch works on its on operating system, usb adapters like this wont work. Nintendo only builds in basic drivers for controllers and storage devices. This won't work on any consoles for this reason.
@@RavenWindrunner got it, thank you. :)
Does anyone know if this works for a ps4?! Plz help
I would love to know as well!
You can just connect your Ethernet cord to the back of your ps4
So my ethernet cable (cat6) has a problem... Every time I plug it in and I go into adapter settings I'm on a pc btw the ethernet cable doesn't show up I don't know what's wrong... sooo if I use this will it work?
I'm also on Windows 7
so sounds like your laptop has an ethernet port? Maybe the port is bad or maybe your cable is bad. Try this adapter to trouble shoot it. If this adapter works then it could be that your ethernet port is bad. I hope this helps!
@@Econoballer I found the problem, it turns out my ethernet port got shorted by a storm so I bought an adapter card and now it works!
Does these Ethernet cables work for Windows PCs?
sorry for my late reply. Yes, it does. :)
does this work on Tv?
on a smart tv with a usb port? No, I do not think this will work. I believe your tv will need certain drivers to make this work and I don't know if it's possible to install those drivers. sorry. :)
Econoballer
Sir Lenovo zuk z2 support this features? Thanks
I don't know tbh. :)
I got mine for $5 and broke after 2 years so I just got a soldering iron and just fixed it myself I want to see how long this thing can last 😂
At that rate if you keep repairing it, it could last forever!
Can i use for receiver?
You mean a stereo receiver?
@@Econoballer channels receiver?
@@Thehunter-pz1oe you should be able to, yes.
Working in xbox one?
yes, it should work!
So can i use one of this for a tv that does not have Ethernet port and thus be able to use the roku?
I really don't think so but definitely worth a try?
The idea of USB port for TV is to play media from a USB flash drive or see photos.
I have a non-smart TV that has a USB port. This port is to show photos from flash drive and also to update the TV firmware.
All TV ports can be accessed by the input menu.
To update firmware, it needs to download the firmware from the TV manufacture website to a flash drive and connect to the USB port on TV.
Does this work on a computer
yes. :)
Thanks, very useful and in really good quality ;)
You're welcome!
Does it increase speed
increase speed over wifi? Absolutely!
IVE BEEN NEEDING THIS
Then buy it
Now plug this to the phone. Much lower ping and faster for gaming.
How mach wire connected in ethernet
you have to connect to your modem. :)
@@Econoballer not work bro
@@malikshani2914 how are you configuring it? I'm literally looking at my configuration right now and it's working for me.
Will this work for Linux?
should totally work for linux. :)
Does it work for a tv?
You mean, to connect to a smart tv? I don't think that might work.
@@Econoballer No, i mean a none smart tv with hdmi connection.
@@nicolas-davidgouin2365 My answer would be no. :)
Can this be connected to a ps4
I've seen this question asked several times and although I no longer have a PS4, I can tell you folks have used it to connect to a PS4. :)
Econoballer so it does work for a ps4?
@@tree4080 yes
Do these adapters hurt performance?
Not at all. Your mileage may vary of course, but that depends more on your router connection speed as opposed to adapters like these. For me, this adapter is a godsend. :)
@@Econoballer what about the more cheaper ones?
@@GabrielSilva-gj6bs hmmmm, I can't really speak on the cheaper ones, but I can tell you this one works for me. :)
@@Econoballer Thanks for all the additional information you have given me
Thank you !!
you're welcome!
Interesting video! Thank you for the suggestion. Now i just need to solve the other issue: a usb hub to allow me to connect more usb devices into the laptop. Doing twitch streaming and we will need a port for the capture card, the adapter, and for now the headphones, as they connect via bluetooth or wireless dongle. What are your thoughts? I've seen combo usb hub+rj45 adapters. Are they worth it?
I've seen those hubs as well. They do work, but some work better than others. I don't use them myself but a friend of mine does and she has no complaints. :)
will it work with vista O.O
You mean the Vista operating system? Sure!
@@inexplicit Yeah O.O
I have Windows 7 😎
Does it work on ps4?
I believe it does. Let me know what you find out.
Econoballer ok thanks for responding t because I’m moving my ps4 to a room sort of far from my internet box and I use a Ethernet cable
Cache is reason for better speed? I need micro usb to power a Firestick., Green does not have one. Tks for video. I watched 4 of them from you so far. Good audio, short, to the point. +1
Good question, not sure at this point. Do you have the micro usb cable the firestick came with? Thanks for the kind words. :D
Here is what you need to interface the FireStick to the Ugreen USB ethernet adapter. Gives the FireStick a standard USB port.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXAC1ZW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
yes it does. :)
Here's a quick link:
amzn.to/2I1dMNk
You'll have a lot of tentacles hanging around but you will get a standard USB port to attach all sorts of goodies to it. :)
What goodies do you attached to yours with that adapter/interface?
Keyboard RF Rii 8, FlashDrive-pen drive, thirdUSB is open port, and Ethernet connection. This is on the Ugreen 3usb hub/ethernet device mentioned with link above. Used with FireStick Gen2
Cable matter 3.0 complete disappointment for my oled tv.
the adapter probably doesn't work on tv's.
A little? 😀
2018m yers you have internet :D omg Lithuania 20 euru cost 1000mgbit/s 125mg/s
That is good price. Here in Czechia I have 500 Mbit/s (symetrical) for 600 CZK / month (about 23 €) provided via SC UPC fiber which is quite rare in here, otherwise you rely on DOCSIS cable internet (crappy upload) or worse on crappy ADSL :/
Not working at all on my lenovo does not connect
Restart your laptop, it should connect after that.
If you want faster speeds, you can always upgrade your plan.
true! :)
PS2??
You mean is it compatible with PS2? I dunno. :)
no it won't work for PS2, you need windows or mac to install drivers to make it possible.
My WiFi is super slow and I can’t play stadia!! I just got this in the mail. Let’s hope I can game now!!
Is it good? Please reply because I want to buy this
FBI it increased speed by about 3x but still isn’t enough for stadia. Stadia you need google fiber or at least 500mbps. I have 100mbps and this didn’t make a difference. It works as intended and I just plugged it in and it works. It’s worth the money for sure..👍🏼
Yep -rep lenovo ....
yep
does anyone here knows how to make one of these?
no, that would probably require some time. If you make it, I'd love to see it!
Horrible speed
really?
How can I tell if I need 2.0 or 3.0?
it would depend on how old your laptop is. An older laptop would really only need a 2.0
How do you know if you need 2.0 or 3.0?
find out if your laptop has 2.0 or 3.0 USB ports. :)
That information should be in your computer specs.
Does this Work for ps5?
I've heard that it does!
