Questions & Answers

Is it compatible with the Macbook Air? Is it possible to install it without using a CD? (The most recent one) It's as simple as plugging it in and starting to use it. ?

Although I own a MacBook Air, it is not the most recent model. It works flawlessly on my 2010 MacBook Air without the need for any additional software. For me, it was a simple plug-and-play situation.

Could I use this USB Network Adapter to plug my router into if I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, and if so, would I be able to connect to the internet?

If your router supports WiFi, you should be able to print wirelessly to your printer if you connect it to the router via Ethernet cable. Learning what IP address your router has assigned to the printer (which means logging into your router's local web user interface and looking for a list of all devices to which it has assigned an IP address) and then configuring your printer driver to print to that IP address will almost certainly be required for successful printing. To do so, go to Devices and Printers, select your printer, right-click it, and select Configure Printer Driver from the menu that appears. Select Printer Properties from the menu at the bottom of the screen. There will be several tabs in the next window you see. Ports is the one you're looking for. Select Add Ports from the Ports tab. and then select Available port types from the drop-down menu. Select Standard TCP/IP Port and then New Port from the drop-down menu. button. The Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port Wizard will open in Windows 7, prompting you for your printer's IP address. When you're done, double-check that the TCP/IP printer port you added is checked in the list of ports on your Printer Properties window's Ports tab. I hope this has been of assistance.

Is it compatible with the Macbook Air?

My MacBook Air (model 2012) performs admirably.

Finally, a wired adapter that connects to my Roku TV from Insignia
5/5

Do you have a Roku TV that claims to be wireless? only (and why can't they include an rj45 jack in the first place? Adaptive streaming sites changed resolution streams multiple times during playback, even with a wireless router positioned directly behind it. I looked on the Roku forums and found an older Belkin adapter mentioned, but it's no longer available, and the replacement listed didn't work for me. My son had bought an HDE adapter for his Wii a while ago (without telling me), so I tried it out and it worked with my TV. As a result, I received one of those as well. I'm not sure if it was just faulty, but the new one wouldn't work on my TV, Wii, or even a laptop, so it was returned. I'm still looking because I've proven to myself that something is possible. After a second search, I finally found this brand mentioned as working, despite the seller's claims to the contrary. At this point, I figured, what the hell, it's only $12. And it was successful. I had tried everything with the other adapters that weren't working, including resetting to factory settings, unplugging, and replugging. Nothing happened when I plugged in the power, USB port, and Cat 6 cable. br>br>With this adapter, all I had to do after installation was unplug the power cord, plug it back in, and turn it on. A slightly slower initial boot, but that's a minor trade-off for having a stable wired connection without adaptive streaming fluctuations. Netflix used to think I only had 4 Mbps down on a good day, but that had tripled afterward (according to their app's test). With a different speed test app, I'm now getting up to 54 Mbps down (out of a maximum of 60). br>br>Edit: 6 weeks later, I'm still using it every day, and it's still working fine, with the exception of one incident where it wouldn't connect after a power on, but I simply removed the power and restarted, and it's been fine since.

My Roku Streambar is up and running
5/5

If you have a Roku streambar or Ultra, connect the USB to the input and then connect the ethernet cable to it. You are provided with the best signal possible. I was skeptical at first, but wow- zowie. Even though the roku 'knew' there was a wireless signal available, it recognized it and used it. It was, in other words, plug-and-play. play. br>br>What about the 'plus'? I believe you get a full blast / preferred signal to the TV to support and match the top speed of the TV and Roku, resulting in a clearer picture and better sound with no pixilation or 'please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please- While the page is loading, it 'waits'.

I put it through its paces on the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo Wii, and the CPU
5/5

This adapter was purchased to work with the Nintendo Switch because it was significantly less expensive than the Hori (25 dollars) officially licensed adapter, but I also require it to work with my computer. Well, I can attest that it works flawlessly with my computer (plug and play), Wii, Wii U, and Switch! This adapter was only $12 and did everything that the official Hori adapter for the Nintendo Switch did not. br>br>Note: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "creative Other reviewers have stated that this will not fit into the back of the Nintendo Switch dock (due to the cover not closing) and will only work if plugged into the unit's side, but if you look at my picture, it will fit into the back underneath the cover. It will simply hang out with the rest of the wires, as is to be expected.

It runs smoothly on Windows 10 and Chromebooks
4/5

However, pfSense is not one of them. This adapter is compatible with Windows 10 as well as Chromebooks. The adapter was recognized right away on both OSs, and no drivers were required. A download transfer rate of around 80 MBps was measured by Speedtest. net. On these two operating systems, it appeared to run smoothly, quickly, and reliably. br>Despite claims from others that this works with pfSense, my personal experience with pfSense was negative. Yes, pfSense would recognize it and allow you to configure it (I tried it as my WAN interface as well as the OPT1 interface), and yes, it will transfer data at around 80MBps. However, after installing this adapter on my pfSense box, I began experiencing intermittent freezes. I couldn't figure out what caused the freezes or when they happened. When this happened, the entire pfSense OS did not freeze, but the GUI interface did, and all networking appeared to come to a complete halt. I eventually removed the adapter, and the pfSense box has been stable and functioning normally since then.

Smart TV Plug and Play! Works! I tried a similar product but it didn't work out for me
4/5

This was recommended to me and it worked perfectly! My only criticism is that it warms up and remains warm when turned on. And, if I leave it plugged in to my smart TV for too long after it switches to a lower power mode, the internet connection will be lost. To reconnect my TV, I need to power it down and on again. This is something I have to do once or twice a month on average. Otherwise, it does an excellent job, but having to power cycle my TV is inconvenient because it takes me a minute to navigate the menu and initiate the restart. Rich people's problems! jk jk! The Plugable USB 2 comes highly recommended by me. 0 because it's dependable, plug-and-play, and I've heard it's great for Wii! Don't make the same mistake as me and opt for number three. Because most smart TVs don't recognize 3, you'll get a 0 from the other company. This worked perfectly!.

Allows for a hardwired RCA Roku TV connection! We wanted a Roku TV with a hardwired internet connection because they are more reliable regardless of where the TV is placed
5/5

However, none of the TVs in our price range had an Ethernet port, and after doing some research, I discovered that this was a common complaint among new non-4K TV owners. We chose an RCA Roku TV because it had all the other ports we needed, as well as the USB port needed for this dongle, and it was recommended on a Roku TV community website. Simply plug the adapter into the USB slot on your TV once it is up and running. After that, go to TV Settings - > Configure your system – > Power - > Allow the TV to finish its power cycle before restarting the system, and then look under internet connections for WIRED connection. A fantastic solution that is both simple and affordable!.
