uni USB to Ethernet Adapter, USB 3.0 Hub with 100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet Driver Free, Sturdy Aluminum 4-in-1 USB-A to LAN Network Adapter Compatible with iMac, PC, Chromebook Laptops, and More

This product is a great quality, I’ve now had it for five years and it has not let me down yet…

Great product and arrived on time.

I needed this item to accommodate all the things needed in my home office. I was able to connect my computer to an ethernet cable and power a podcast microphone, a computer camera and a ring light in mere minutes. I have been using this for 6months now and it remains very reliable.

It does the job so far. Get a bit hot so not sure why but so far so good for the price

I do not have WiFi or good cell service where I live, so to connect to the internet for downloads like app updates and audiobooks, I like to have a way to connect my iPhone via Ethernet. Apple sells a "Belkin Ethernet + Power Adapter with Lightning Connector," which would be less complicated to use, but it's $100. With this one, I have a USB-to-lightning adapter that I click onto the USB end (which then plugs into the iPhone), and a USB-to-USB cord that I use on one of the three USB ports and connect to a regular iPhone charger (the iPhone does not provide enough power to run Ethernet on its own). It's a bit of a set up, but I am able to download my audiobooks, update my phone and apps, etc. It's compact and looks nice, too, which is a step up from a bulkier one I purchased 5 years ago for my first iPhone.For anyone who wants to try this out for themselves, I'm currently using an iPhone 12 mini; as a warning for people with older phones (I had a first gen. SE until recently), after an iOS update, the Ethernet simply stopped working. It was the iOS, not the hub; as soon as I upgraded my phone, the Ethernet started working just fine. I'm not sure how old is too old to use with Ethernet, but I'm glad I upgraded when I did, because the phasing out of Ethernet for older phones caused me a month or two of problems before I was able to upgrade my phone entirely.As for the hub itself, aside from use with my iPhone, I'm glad to have it as an option for adding extra USB ports for my laptop (Surface Laptop Go) if I need them. Overall, I recommend it.

It served its purpose.

My newest laptop did not have Ethernet port. Researched a number of candidates and glad I picked this one. Good price, low profile...stays is my laptop bag for when I need it.

Current (3/23/22) information shown on the product page for Amazon:"Operating System Linux, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Chrome OS, Windows 10"no mention of Windows 7. Further down ..."【Wide Compatibility】Compatible with Windows 10/8.1/8/7/Vista/XP, Mac OS, Chrome OS, Android, and Linux."claims Windows 7.and after:"【Exquisite & Compact Design】Plug and play, no additional drivers / software required. "--------Actual behavior:When initially plugged in to a Windows 7, service pack 1 laptop, Windows initially recognizes it as a USB to Ethernet adapter but lacking driver. Less than a minute later, that disappears and in device manager it moves someplace else, appearing as USB mass storage device.The Uni web site doesn't show any obvious link to download a driver, which agrees the belief (text above) that it isn't required. A lookup of the USB vendor ID points to Realtek as manufacturer of the chipset actually in this device. A driver from their website is rejected by Windows 7 as not digitally signed by Microsoft.This device works immediately in Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux 20.x, probably because they already have "class" drivers that they can't fit to this device. Windows 7, on error, falls back to the wrong driver (USB mass storage).Edit 6/9/22: This was previously working as expected on two Windows 10 machines, 1 desktop & 1 laptop. Now ... it still works on the laptop. For the desktop, when plugged in it appears briefly in device manager as a "network adapter", then this disappears and it becomes a USB Mass Storage device under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" in the device tree. Right click and try to update driver - response is "Windows has determined that the best driver for this device is already installed", "Search for updated drivers on Windows Update" ... a dead end. Uninstall the device, disconnect, reconnect, no change in behavior, does not become a network interface.Also - I have more than 1 of these things. Tried another - same results for each machine.So this device has some host software compatibility issue that makes it a hit or miss. Subtracting 1 star.
