## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with Linux?**
A: I am using it with Kubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS. It works fine. I have two ETHERNET connections and change the name of each to wired-pub (Internet) and wired-pvt (private). I set the speed for 1000 Mbps and Full Duplex. Then I use the nmcli command i.e. nmcli connection modify wired-pub ipv4 dot route-metric 150, and the wired-pvt metric to 250 (this device is access to my private network) and that ensures that no matter which connection is set up first I always get the internet on the correct subnet. I use virtualbox software to create virtual machines. Have also tried this on Windows 7 & Windows 8.1 machines and am able to set the metric for the interface to get each to work as they should. No complaints so far

**Q: Will this work on a Mac OSX 10.9 computer? I just upgraded to Mavericks and need an ethernet adapter.**
A: After installation of new driver and restart, the USB3.0 to gigabit connector works great on Mavericks as of 2014-06-05. Have 1Gb/s connectivity and up to 60MB/s throughput for file transfers on our lan.

**Q: Will this work with a smarf tv that has a USB port to give it an ethernet connection?**
A: Works great with Sony a90j oled TV. This model has a USB 3.0 connection bottom section TV. Listed as USB max. I have 300± internet service and download speed is 367. No buffering and meets minimum requirements for Bravia Core movies @ 115mbps. Be sure to turn off wifi on TV.

**Q: I've upgraded my MAC to Mavricks and it doesn't recognize old driver, does anyone have new drivers or knows where to find them?**
A: distributer says no driver yet--just won't work until a new driver is created

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Simple Fix for Slow TV Ethernet Ports

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Device!
*by B***N on August 7, 2015*

This ethernet network adapter works very well for my Chromebook. Since it adapts to a USB 3.0 interface, it is able to take advantage of the increased speeds USB 3.0 has to offer. It has the capacity to work with internet speeds up to 1000mbps. In the 8 months I have owned this device, I have never experienced any problems with it. This device is simple to use: plug the ethernet cord into it, plug the USB end into the computer, and start browsing. If you are using a Windows or Chromebook computer, there are no additional steps required. I have not tested this on a Linux or Mac computer. The device is powered by the USB port as well, which means that an external power source is not required. I have tested the speed this ethernet adapter provides and have compared it to my desktop computer, and the speeds are identical. In my tests, the maximum download speed my service provider provides is 25mbps, so I have not tested the upper limits of the device. However, I suspect that the device will work well on those upper speeds. The device itself is solid in its construction. I carry it in my book bag, and as the contents shift and settle, this device ends up at the bottom, below books, other devices, and other wires. It stands up under all of that pressure without breaking or even bending. Many newer tablets and laptops ship without an ethernet port (to reduce the size of the device, in most cases). This is the perfect tool to have to compensate. Simply carry this around in a book bag or suitcase, and you will be able to use an ethernet cable wherever one may be. Overall, I would recommend this device to anyone who needs an ethernet to USB 3.0 adapter.
