Review: Works on 2025 Panasonic Z95B OLED - I bought this adapter having seen the video by HDTVTest's Vincent Teo (on Youtube - thanks Vincent!) showing how this method works. Or can work depending on the TV manufacturer and model. I'm delighted to find it works perfectly on my new Panasonic Z95B OLED (connected to the "USB 2" input port which is USB version 3.0). I'm now getting a download speed close to my current (full fibre) package maximum of 300 Mbps. Happy days!
Review: Works with LG tv - Works perfectly on my LG tv. It doesnt show as connected in the LG settings but when I look at my switch I can see its connected at 1GB speed instead of 100MB. Have ordered 2 more for my other tvs. This has now stopped the buffering I was getting when trying to watch 4K stuff from Plex.

## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product, does not work on Hisense A7K TV
*by K***Y on 16 March 2024*

I bought this item in an attempt to increase the speed of connection into my smart TV. Unfortunately it did not work. I don't see any failure being attributed to the product or company at all it was a risk I was willing to take. It is most likely a TV USB issue or perhaps a driver one. However I have now used the product to connect my laptop to my router if I need a reliable fast connection. The product feels robust. It does not feel like it is ready to fall apart. Very simple to use and have seen the speed increase as it states with listing. I have a 900mb/s connection and with USB 3.0, running a speedtest I obtained 938 mb/s I would recommend this product for laptops and for games consoles. For the price, it is worth trying if you want to try on smart TV but like me be prepared for it not to work.
