Mario, Thanks for the recommendation. I am leaning towards the devices with a Realtek RTL8153 chipset over the devices with the Axis AX88179. I have more faith in Realtek than AXIS as I have had serveral laptops in the past with Realtek NIC's, but never a single device with AXIS. Plus Realtek seems to be more standards based whereas AXIS only supports 4k Jumbo frames? On Mon, May 14, 2018 at 9:35 PM, Mario Eirea <meirea () charterschoolit com> wrote:
My recommendation was based on the Realtek RTL8153 chipset. It's the only USB chip I had found at the time that did VLANs and full gigabit, in Windows. I have had this for a while now, I would hope there are more things on the market. -ME ------------------------------ *From:* NANOG <nanog-bounces () nanog org> on behalf of Colton Conor < colton.conor () gmail com> *Sent:* Monday, May 14, 2018 9:20 PM *To:* NANOG *Subject:* Re: USB Ethernet Adapters Thanks for the responses so far. I am surprised to see the wide array of responses. A couple of more things: 1. I like the ones that have lights on the Ethernet port so you can see if the device is up/down. I find that critical as we go to a lot of sites where we don't know if the cable is good/bad, so a indication on the lights is critical. 2. Techs are constantly doing speedtest.net tests on 1Gbps Ethernet connections, so ideally an adapter that can constantly push the 1Gbps speeds is ideally. Seems that most of these adapters use a common chipset. Anyone done research on which chipset is the best, and why?

What USB to Ethernet adapter do you recommend and why? Ideally it would be compatible with Windows 10, and have the ability tosetspeed, duplex and VLAN IDs if possible.
