Questions & Answers

What if the router doesn't have a USB port, so it cannot be connected to an external USB drive?

Windows 10 will not install this application
3/5

There is no mention of Windows XP, 7, 8 or 10 in its documentation, so it appears to be an old product. It is installed on a DVD 1 and comes with driver installation software. Installation will fail if we don't follow these instructions Here's the - Windows 10 natively, because it is not mentioned in the ad that it is not compatible with Windows 10 Here's the - An envelope This device cannot be recognized by Windows 10 and will not have an IP address assigned to it. It worked the same way on multiple PCs with both of the items I purchased. Typically, Windows 10 drivers are available on ASIX's website (the device does not have a manufacturer listed on it, however, Drivers are only available for Microsoft Windows 0 to Ethernet devices. The downloaded drivers do not self-install. C is not likely to be something most users are familiar with (or want to explore). Manually installing the driver and its modules can be done by going to the /Windows/System32 folder. If mistakes are made in that folder, they can lead to problems. You can reinstall Windows 10 by following these steps. As I mentioned before, I was not in the mood to spend my afternoon and evening troubleshooting a $23. 00. This component has a value of 00. It was just a plug-in that I wanted to install You can now continue your day by playing the device. My original product did not work out, so I am moving on to another one. I will return the kit.

The thing is really cool! When I bought my Laptop several years ago, I found it was only shipped with a 10/100 card
5/5

Since I use the laptop in a fixed position, I attempted to update the WiFi card in order to get 1 GB of service from my My Laptop is used in a way that I can experience drop outs with a certain program I am using since WiFi is not a full duplex network. Then I came across this device. To be honest, I still wasn't convinced and thought it may just be some kind of Plugging the device into my three gave me an error message. It was connected instantly after connecting to the Laptop's USB port, turned it on, and it was Seeing that picture, there were at least three people on the boat. I can't imagine a better way to describe it. There is 75 Feet of Ethernet cable running from my shop to the other side of the house where the Ethernet hub/modem is located. Given the length of the Ethernet cable, I consider this an exceptional result. The device is a no-brainer for those with a 3. In my view, you can't go wrong with it. It's incredible what you can do with just a USB port and pipe 1 gig of service to either a laptop or tower with only a 10/100 card.

It worked perfectly after installation and was easy to set up
5/5

Despite being almost ten years old, I have a built-in Ethernet adapter on my computer The Microsoft ThinkPad W700, a 2-year old ThinkPad, was burned by lightning a few It is fortunate that Wi-Fi has become more widespread Although my AirPort Extreme adapter was not damaged, I could still connect to the Internet and network, but at a slower speed Various speeds are available for Wi-Fi. Since the W700 was replaced about 18 months ago by a Lenovo ThinkPad P71 and the W700 was moved upstairs, that was not an issue. The roof of our house is made of metal, and the Wi-Fi is so fast Compared to other areas of our house, that part has significantly less Wi-Fi throughput. The fact that internet is not a big problem is not such a big problem for Internet usage, but when moving large files, doing backups, and synchronizing files between both - It was painfully slow to use our local area network. To the point that I began using old school 'sneaker nets' and thumb drives to move files and data back and forth. When USB 3 wasn't available, my W700 was the only option. The machine is USB 2. 0 only and does not support USB 3. 0. The ports are all empty. 2 is the second USB port. It is certainly faster to use a thumb drive than to use a weak Wi-Fi There is Wi-Fi, but the speed is slow and the process is It was the first thing I did when I got the USB 3 from StarTech. This new interface replaces the old USB 3. 0 ExpressCard. I have not been able to find a problem with my ExpressCard. The USB 3 port is the only one you will need. By using a USB 3. 0 port I can use USB 2. 0 and 3. 0 devices. The thumb drive 0 does not exist. There is a USB 3 port. As a result of both Lenovo systems being connected via USB 3. 0, I was able to move larger amounts of data faster, but I had to physically carry thumb drives back and forth, up and down stairs, between the two With the USB 2, I was able to get the music playing. A USB 3. 0 Ethernet adapter also worked, but the speeds were about the same as a Wi-Fi adapter My next step was to try A USB 3. 0 Ethernet adapter is plugged into the StarTech USB 3. 0 hub. Windows 10 rebooted as I crossed my fingers. I operated Windows 10 with an ExpressCard 0 and had no idea if this would work. My computer did work, and very well if I may add. I can once again move large blocks of data such as 200 or 300 15mb files. A minute or less is all it takes to transfer 18mb of photo files between two Lenovo laptops. I have also noticed a large improvement in the speed of syncing between the two systems, which is one of my backup strategies.

The program does not work on Macs
3/5

There is no way to use this adapter with a An Asix AX88179 chipset is needed. MacOS does not provide this chip. Therefore, it needs to be driven by a third party. Even though StarLink includes a CD, isn't a CD a thing of the past? Despite not even having a CD player, my Mac does not have a CD drive. I think it's in bad taste to require third-party drivers for something that should be a standard. Having some simple and straightforward hardware such as a USB flash drive It should not be necessary to obtain a third-party driver for Ethernet adapters. By adding third-party kernel extensions to my Mac, I am putting my computer's stability at risk. I made the mistake of doing this once in the past. Here's what I picked up the Anker USB-charger Rather than using Ethernet, try using a USB adapter. After plugging in the Anker for the first time, I found it to be fully compatible with MacOS.

Slowly was the first thing to happen
5/5

Here is Fast. Let me start off by saying that this Ethernet adapter has performed exactly as I had expected it to With Gigabit Ethernet, you can transfer data quickly. I have the following problem On my Dell Inspiron laptop, I found that the on-board graphics had stopped working after I attempted to restore a disc image backup There was only a 100-BaseT Ethernet NIC on board. Ethernet transfer speeds were extremely slow, and it was going to take 18+ hours to complete the recovery process. The Startech USB 3 can be found here. This enabled the installation of a Gigabit Ethernet Adapter and increased transfer speeds radically. Recovery time decreased from over 8 hours to about 2 hours. In addition, Startech's adapter works perfectly in Acronis TrueImage's recovery.
