Review on StarTech USB 2.0 to Gigabit Ethernet NIC πŸ”Œ Network Adapter: USB21000S2 - Fast and Reliable Internet Connection Solution by Dave Russell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It really works!

This was the third adapter I bought. The first was TechToo, which came with a defective hard drive, so I couldn't install the drivers (it was impossible to download them because my internal network adapter burned out, so I needed a new one). I then tried Ably which came with a floppy disk written in Chinese code which my computer didn't seem able to understand and therefore couldn't install the driver. (NOTE: Revain is great, I sent both adapters back with no problems.) I decided to give it another try and bought Star Tech and lo and behold, the drive worked, the drivers loaded and I was up and running in five minutes Business. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, so the drivers weren't part of the OS like they were in Windows 8. Very happy with this product AND Revain.

Pros
  • IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T) compliant
Cons
  • Very expensive
