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? On Mon, May 14, 2018 at 12:45 PM, Colton Conor <colton.conor () gmail com> wrote:
Our new laptops like most do not have an Ethernet adapter build in as they are too slim. What USB to Ethernet adapter do you recommend and why? Ideally it would be compatible with Windows 10, and have the ability to set speed, duplex and VLAN IDs if possible.
