Review on πŸ’» Plugable USB 2.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter | Fast & Reliable Connection | Windows, Chromebook, Linux Compatible by James Maruffo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Maybe it's ok? --- Works better

The installation seems to have gone well. My speed has more than doubled (from 95 Mbps to 180-220 Mbps) on a 200 Mbps ISP service. Everything looked fine, then after about 15-20 minutes couldn't connect to any website via Chrome, didn't run a speed test, didn't connect to Steam etc. Network troubleshooter showed everything was fine, device manager said that it works properly and has the latest driver (from the Plugable website). Tried the Microsoft Edge browser and was able to connect! At the same time, the same pages could not be connected in Chrome!?!?! Disabled Plug Adapter in Device Manager, then re-enabled and now Chrome can connect, Speedtest connects etc! An incompatibility with the Google Chrome browser? UPDATE: Everything ok since I disabled/enabled in device manager? Have you had disconnections or problems with Google Chrome, Steam or Speedtest since then?

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
