Review on πŸ”Œ Cisco-Linksys USB100M Fast Ethernet USB Network Adapter by Flavio Scarola

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Worst Design USB Network Adapter

This has got to be the worst designed device I've ever come across from the brand Linksys have seen. I don't understand why they can't use the proven RJ45 connector design. Instead, the little door swings open and the ethernet plug comes in at an angle, and the door has to hook onto the plug's hook to keep the cable in place. The door is held at the right height by tiny plastic sticks that fall out if you give them a weird look, and good luck finding them if they fall out. What you want. The Ethernet connector must be at exactly the right angle, otherwise it won't stay in place. And when those two plastic sticks fall out - and they will - you'll need to wrap duct tape around the door to keep them in place. That's not what you expect when you're paying $80 for a 2-inch device! Has to be the worst physical design for a network device I've ever seen.

Pros
  • Connect to any Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network through your computer's USB port
Cons
  • Out of fashion
