Review on Network adapter D-link DUB-1312/B1A, black by Mateusz Sztrekier ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

There are two very similar devices on the market: D-Link DUB-1312/B1A and TP-Link TP-LINK UE300. Both are connected via USB 2 or USB 3, both have a Realtek RTL8153 chip inside. And the price is about the same. MAC addresses correspond to vendors. Everything said here applies equally to both adapters - D-Link and TP-Link. For maximum performance, carefully watch which ports you plug devices into. Even plugging the adapter into a USB 2 port, the network connection will show 1Gbps, although the data transfer rate will be limited by the USB 2 bandwidth.

Pros
  • Compact device. Produces acceptable speed. It is defined in any OS from among Windows and Linux, even if thrown as a USB device into a virtual machine. Tested on VirtualBox.
Cons
  • Short and strong cord. Such a cord is more suitable for a fixed connection of a workstation that does not require frequent movement of equipment. Not enough length and flexibility of the wire. In this regard, the Lenovo 4X90S91830 adapter looks more suitable.
