Review on Cable Matters 3 Port USB 3.0 Hub with Ethernet - Gigabit Ethernet USB Hub supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Network in Black by Philip Russell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Ethernet no longer works after 15 months

Great as long as it works. Began to fail a few months ago. Since disconnecting and reconnecting fixed the issue, I ignored it. As of yesterday, the network card stopped working and registered itself as an external drive, indicating a previously hidden driver installation. The hub is still fully functional. My intended target for this device was a gigabyte ethernet adapter. The hub was only needed due to the limited number of ports on the laptop it was purchased for. If you're having a similar experience to mine, I'll save you the trouble of searching for warranty information: one-year limited warranty and lifetime product support. The first part of this sentence means that it is faster to order from another manufacturer with a better guarantee than to waste valuable time on that manufacturer. I wrote this review and rating for the following reasons: I didn't drive many miles with this Gigabyte Ethernet. Adapter. If I used it for a normal daily load, it would only last three to six months. Years ago I spent a lot less on peripherals made from the same high quality materials that still work well and have a much longer warranty.

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • Almost never
