I couldn't on my Win8 or MacOS X machines. Also I couldn't find any success stories where people used it to get 1Gbps speeds. However, it seems that the device is either faulty or doesn't work at all by design. I wonder whether that is an issue with drivers (I installed from CD coming with unit), item itself, or just false advertisement.Ĭables and ports are important for connecting to ethernet. It is not issue with USB 2.0 port pretending being USB 3.0 because USB 2.0 should allow up to 500Mbit connection. I looked through google, but nobody seems to raise this issue. My laptop has 100Mbit card in it, so when I use native RJ45 port, speed is 100Mbit again.Īlso, I tested it on MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), and there speed also limited to 90Mbit. The Insignia NS-PA3U6E USB to Ethernet Adapter is the best tool to connect your computer or laptop to a wired internet connection. In my office network is 1Gbit (tested, shows 700-800Mbit connection with other computers). When speed tested on, it only shows speed 85-95Mbit. I am using “Cable Matters® SuperSpeed USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter” plugged into USB 3.0 port of Lenovo U410 laptop (Windows 8.0)
