USB 2.0 10/100Mbps RJ45 LAN Ethernet Network Adapter Dongle

Pros: Adapter just works, giving maximum USB 2.0 performance of 8.0 Mbps with my Ubuntu 9.04. No drivers needed, recognized immediately, obtained IP address by DHCP from my home router and seamlessly integrate my PC to home hetwork.

Cons: Tried it with my iMac it doesn't reconized by Mac OS X 10.6.4. Installed provided drivers and get a kernel panic. Unfortunately I can not find recent drivers for Mac.

Other: I wish that Red LED on case to be replaced with standard LEDs in the Ethernet socket. But this is just a wish, and this adapter from DealExtreme just do it's job very good!

Pros: This device works with Windows. I had another interface already connected, so Windows Update was able to find the appropriate driver automatically.

Cons: This is advertised to work with Mac OS. It doesn't. There aren't even any drivers for Mac OS. Dealextreme should revise their description and leave Mac OS out. They are mistaken.

Other: It's a quick and easy way to add an ethernet port to a Windows system. It works.

Pros: I wrote a review yesterday, complaining that this device doesn't work on Mac computers. I did some research, and I found a device driver that makes it worse. dealextreme or the manufacturer should include this device driver. If you buy this device and want it to work on a Mac, download it from http://www.moschip.com/mcs7830_downloads.php

Cons: Cheaply made, but I'm not complaining at this price.

Other: Good device, good price, and it works.

Pros: Very good and small usb hub. Nice build quality. Works fine with this product http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.45773 Design is very similar, like apple products.

Cons: Cord maybe should be more thicker, but it works fine anyway.

Other: Thanks Dealextreme. It very cheap and good quality product. I search with a very long time, but that I find was like 5 times more expensively

Pros: - Nice design. Discrete, small and don't look bad on your laptop. - Really good speeds. I got 7.5 mb/s (megabytes per second) over a SMB ("Windows") network connected on my home server (which is my old computer) via USB 2.0. This is almost the limit of my entire network (the router isn't very fast). - Works perfect on linux. Took 5min to configure it. [9710:7830 MosChip Semiconductor MCS7830] - Works perfect on Windows 7 x64. Took a few minutes to Windows get the drivers from Windows Update. After that, all fun and joy.

Cons: I think there's no cons at all. Maybe the red LED, but I really don't care. If the LED gets annoying I can just remove it from the board! It may get just a little hot eventually... just ignore.

Other: Buy it. You don't need it? Buy it anyway! Somedays I want to do some little experiments on computer networks. This device really helps. It's like having a laptop with 2, 3 or even more network cards.

Pros: A neat, small adaptor, with space-savvy USB plug and a flexible connector from plug to the dongle part. Has activity LED. Works with the WindowsCE netbooks, that might be important when the netbook has a failed RJ45 interface. Price is nearly unbeatable. Also a good solution to add temporary second network connection to notebooks when necessarry.

Cons: No.

Other: Worth the price, get a second one too :)

Pros: A great little device allows you to easily and inexpensively, connect to a computer or other device network card. In Windows 7 is simple and clear.

Cons: Outdated device drivers supplied with (2006). latest driver from 2010 can be downloaded from the developer's site http://moschip.com/mcs7830_downloads.php chip. Shell is very hot.

Other: A great deal!

Pros: Excellent performance on my Linux laptop (MEDION with Ubuntu 10.04). It worked out-off-the-box. Speed tested to 50Mbit up/download wich is the limit of my internet connection. MUCH better than DX's more expensive usb-2-0-100mbps-ethernet-lan-network-adapter-16158 that clocked 7.5/7.5Mbit up/down on the same connection.

Cons: None IMO.

Other: If you need an extra ethernet interface buy this!

Pros: Nice, compact, does its job as expected, good transfer speeds. Works on OS X 10.6

Cons: Wasn't auto-recognized by OSX, so had to install custom drivers. Red LED looks a bit ugly

Other: Bought for my Macbook Air, after installing drivers works as it's Apple's own adapter.

Pros: - Great price. - Gets full 100Mbps speed. That's right, 12 MiB/s of raw transfer speed. Unlike the other ones, this is real USB 2.0. - Works perfectly with Linux using module mcs7830, which is in mainline kernel. - Fairly sturdy. I stressed it a little to see if it drops signal or anything when wiggling the wires. Nothing of the sort happened. - Works in promiscuous mode.

Cons: Absolutely none!

Other: Definitely a must-have. You just never know when you'll need a 2nd Ethernet port.
