I wanted this for my Galaxy S10+ to connect to my router and try a few things. It surpassed my expectations. I have an old D-Link DIR-878 router. It's honestly quite the powerful router for the age. Dual band AC1900 MU-MIMO router that I've been running my home security system on for years. I was running it wirelessly, but switched to full Ethernet and even got an 8-port Gigabit switch to support my cameras, PC, Television and anything else. Okay, on to this product. My point is that I am able to plug an Ethernet cable into this device and straight into my Galaxy S10+ running Android 12 and then plug that into the WAN port and use my hotspot data to power my router. No router flashes required. No USB ports needed on the router. It automatically handled it all using DHCP. My only regret is that I didn't pay a few bucks more for one with a charger because this will drain your battery PRETTY quick. I haven't measured, but I think it drains it as fast as or faster than the Wi-Fi hotspot. But I just found this REALLY COOL that I can plug this into the WAN port and give my router internet in seconds. It's very fast and snappy, too. I typically use PDANet+ w/ Wi-Fi Direct to give my PC internet (I live in a rural area). When I used my phone and my router for internet, pages on the internet loaded VERY fast. The latency improvement was amazing. I'll be buying another one of these but with a charger port on it, too, so I can use it more often. We only recently had broadband run on our road and it's $50/month for 300Mbps up/down. They're taking advantage of us rural folk. I think the Gigabit plan is closer to $100. Meanwhile, 12 miles away there's cable that's $20/month for Gig speeds. Sorry about the rant. This device can not only connect your phone (at least Android 12 and up) to your router and put you on your network via Ethernet if needed, but it can also provide your router with INTERNET via the WAN port if you have hotspot data. As you know, you can use your hotspot in 4 ways: Wirelessly, Bluetooth, USB and Ethernet. It doesn't require a special router, apparently, to do this. Your router should be able to auto-config everything via the DHCP setting. I was amazed. I have one more thing to figure out. If I manually turn my phone screen off, it disconnects the Ethernet connection. But once I noticed when my screen automatically turned off, it continued working. Anyways, the point is, it works and it works great. I've had no issues with it, no disconnects, no hang ups, nothing but a positive experience. If you're using this for a laptop that doesn't have an Ethernet port, it's all you need. However, if you plan on using it for extended periods with a phone, I'd recommend paying a few more bucks and getting one with a charging port on it, too.

Works perfectly on my MacBook Pro, my Windows 11 laptop & Ubuntu Linux laptop!

It is perfect worked with Ethernet in my house

Works perfect for my set up in my office. The light lets you know if you have connection to the internet as well handy

I needed a viable Ethernet adaptor for my lap top and this works well. Been in use for about a year and hasn’t failed or become loose with repeated plugging and unplugging.

Now that laptops only have Wi-Fi, this was the only way I could connect mine to my fiber-optic internet service.

After purchasing this to add to my "toolkit", I decided to try it on my two Fire tablets. On my 2020 (10th gen) Fire HD 8 Plus (running Fire OS 7), the results were as I expected. It recognized a USB device was attached, but did not recognize it as an Ethernet adapter. One my 2022 (12 gen) Fire 7 (running Fire OS 8), however, it was both recognized as an Ethernet adapter and WiFi was automatically disabled and the Ethernet adapter used instead. The speed test result (121.62 Mbps) was on a nominally 250 Mbps internet connection, slightly behind the 138.50 Mbps my HD 8 Plus achieved via WiFi, but ahead of the 109.98 Mbps result the Fire 7 obtained via WiFi. Construction of this device seems solid. One possible concern is that I noticed the second Ethernet cable (a Monoprice Flexboot series Cat6) I used it with was difficult to remove, even with the locking tab on the cable fully depressed.

Not all adapters support booting from the Internet Recovery partition. This one does. Worked with both Option-Command-R and Shift-Option-Command-R on Intel Macs. (tested on MacBookPro14,3) This is important if you ever want to use the Internet Recovery to wipe the drive and restore the OS. Also supports VLANs and other features. Seems to pretty much do everything, that one would want an ethernet adapter to do. Uses Realtek RTL8153 chipset.

Exactly what I was looking for. Showed-up quickly. A simple plug and play. Works as described perfectly! Highly recommended!

arrived on time and works as expected

Used to connect a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G to a Linux Mint desktop when home broadband failed. Works just as required and allowed mobile tethering via Ethernet. Speed not the greatest but not investigated whether this is my mobile network, the adapter or the desktop.

Works great.

Really good, works with my MacBook m1 and my iPad m4
