Review on πŸ”Œ Tripp Lite USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Gigabit Ethernet NIC Network Adapter, 10/100/1000 Mbps, Black (U336-000-R) by James Richardson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

DO NOT use this for FREENAS! (Overview for FreeNAS)

Windows , this adapter is likely , will be a 5 launch product for you. This overview is for FreeNAS or FreeBSD users. This adapter does not use ASIX as stated on the manufacturer's site, but uses a Realtek controller. The driver that came with the system allows for plug-and-play operation, but it does not work properly. No information is sent to the control panel and you get the status "Link Unknown". I bought the U236-000-GBW as a replacement and it works out of the box with an ASIX controller as stated on the manufacturer's site. This is not a seller problem, it is a supplier problem as the controllers described on the page are not used for this device.

Pros
  • USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter allows your computer to instantly connect to a network through a USB port - you don't need to open the computer case to add an internal Ethernet card
Cons
  • I'll add later
