TP-Link UE306 Gigabit USB 3.0 to Ethernet Adapter, RJ45 Network Adapter

I bought this adapter to ensure a stable, high-speed wired connection for my computer, and it performs perfectly. It was truly plug-and-play; as soon as I connected it, I saw a massive jump in download speeds and a much more stable ping for video calls and large file transfers compared to my wireless setup. The build quality is solid, and the foldable cord design makes it very portable for tossing in a laptop bag. It handles Gigabit speeds without breaking a sweat and doesn’t seem to overheat even during heavy use. My only minor gripe isn't with the hardware itself, but with the product listing. It’s a bit of a pity about the title mentioning WiFi; this is strictly a wired Ethernet adapter. Including "WiFi" in the name is quite misleading for anyone specifically looking for a wireless dongle. Pros: Instant setup (Plug & Play) Reliable Gigabit speeds Compact, travel-friendly design Cons: Confusing product title (it’s for wired connections only!) If you need a reliable LAN port for your laptop or desktop, this is the one to get. Just don't let the "WiFi" in the title fool you—this is all about that sweet, stable cable life!

Having moved to online working with a laptop that doesn't have an ethernet port, I became very aware that my livelihood was in the fickle arms of WiFi. This item - from the recognised TP Link brand and at a very reasonable price indeed - looked to be my trusty saviour. Thankfully, I have only had to use this once due to a WiFi issue, however it worked PERFECTLY. It was a WiFi cut-out with no warning in the middle of a meeting, so I didn't have time to mess about figuring things out... but this was literally plug and play. No installation required, just plug it in to an appropriate port, connect to your router via an ethernet cable and Bob's your uncle, good old-fashioned wired internet. I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone wanting a wired connection (who doesn't have an ethernet port) or anyone for whom constant connection is a necessity for work. It really is a no-brainer at this price.

ATTENTION: Well made adapter but check its suitability as it does not work with all android devices especially A11+ NOTE: The WHITE plastic Models UE300c and UE300 claim to use the RTL8153 chipset The BLACK plastic Model UE306 claims to use the AX88179 chipset SUMMARY This is a reasonable well made adapter which works with SOME android devices but not all. In my case it works with 1) a Samsung R35 phone running Android 16 2) and Galaxy Tab A running android 11 3) BUT it does not work with the new Galaxy A11+ tablet also running android 16 The adapter labelling says that the hardware is version 2. The version number is not mentioned in any product literature or elsewhere - this is an critical omission as this information is important to the buying decision Version 2 hardware is understood to use the ASIX AX88179A chipset. The Version 1 adapter is understood to use the Realtek RTL8153 chipset. The Realtek RTL8153 chipset is believed to be more compatible with more android devices and versions. I needed an adapter which works with an A11+ tablet and therefore need an adapter which used the Realtek chipset. TP Link is a good brand but unlike other brands of adapter this version of the hardware does not use the RealTek chipset. So it is important to confirm before purchase that the V2 ASIX AX88179A chipset is compatible with your device VALUE: The price point (£9.99) is good value if this adapter works with your devices. The make quality and packaging justify this price point. A lower price point would represent a very good buy - if it works MY NEED: I needed a USB C to Ethernet Adapter to connect a Galaxy A11+ tablet to the internet in a location where there was no Wi-Fi. CONSTRUCTION: The adapter is well made and well packaged.

Works great with steam deck when set up right (in desktop mode). Good quality and fast, the folding feature is nice to have

Great little device, works straight away on Windows or MacBook. Brilliant stuff!

Needed this to create my own bitcoin node via ethernet and its works flawlessly with windows/linux/mac would happily recommend to others. Straight forward plug and play and a steal of a price. Had a high stability level 900mb of my 1gb broadband and the cable included which is attached sits nicely inside. The unit looks well built.

Worked great straight from the packet, no issues, there is a flashing light to show it is working this is good indicator. Would buy it again.

Mis-described - its not wifi. Works fine however despite being USB its still funnels the link through your PC's Ethernet adaptor so can only achieve the speed that's rated for - IE if your on-board ethernet adaptor is 100mbps then this item will not provide more than that despite being rated for 1000mbps. You need to use a USB wireless adaptor (TP Link Archer TX20u) to escape the Ethernet limit.

It's worth the price and works well. I like that it's a USB c connection so it doesn't take up any of the other USB ports. I definitely recommend.

منتج ممتاز و حل مشكلة عدم وجود مخرج Ethernet باللاب توب.

Great for your modern TV this will help with better download speed your TV quality are lockninat 100 mbps if not double the speed then 4 times it depends on what USB 2.0 or 3.0 the newer the version the faster the soeed. This work around does wonders for updates and I think also video stability and sound.

Yeah, works with Nintendo switch - finally decent online response!

Works as expected.
