Exactly the product I needed.

This product works as described. I'm using this as a NIC ports expander for my VMWare ESXI lab server and after finding the right drivers it works great.

Cons
  • Compatibility

This worked very well for a few months, but after a while.

This worked reasonably well for a few months, but after a while the adapter just rebooted and lost connection. You have to unplug it and plug it back in. Reset all my network connections/tunnels. Very annoying.

Pros
  • IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging support
Cons
  • Neutral

Works great but there is a possible limitation

I needed the ability for my Microsoft Surface Pro 6 tablet to connect to two different networks. This device serves its purpose perfectly. Very glad it has a USB pass-through connector too. The only limitation I had with this device was the inability to use the Wake-on-LAN feature. If it works in this setup I don't know how.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

Good choice if you don't have a LAN connection on your laptop

I bought a Cable Matters USB3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Network Adapter and it worked great for Windows 10 and I thought , it could work for 2012R2. I contacted cable issues and they said it would work. It's not like this. I looked at this Star Tech USB3.0 to Dual Port Gigabit and it also said it would work for Windows 10 but didn't say it would work for Server 2012R2. I left a message for Star Tech and they said it would work so I bought it. I got it today and hooked it up to my 2012R2 server and it…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
