I had to not rate for WiFi Signal and Tech Support - it took no support. These either work or not. And no WiFi; it is for a wired connection, which, surprisingly, I need more often than I thought I would. It is inexpensive, it works, so get it if you have USB C - worked without a driver (think Windows 11 had it built in and my Mac did too), the driver set up was so fast that I did not even notice, it just worked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Didn't need to do anything to get it to work with my Samsung Galaxy S* pones but plug it in.
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2023
I'm totally blind. I got this to see if it would work with my Samsung Galaxy S series phones to use a direct Ethernet connection so I don't need to use Wi-Fi. I figured if it work, it would be faster then my 2.4G Wi-Fi network. Yes 5G Wi-Fi would be better; But I've found you can't have a mixed network of 2.4G and 5G when running some smart speakers being when you have them setup as a group! They must all be on the same Wi-Fi band in order for things to sink correctly in order to play through all of them.

But anyway! I receive this. I plugged in a cable to my Router and the adaptor. Then I check to insure I didn't need to update anything on the phone. I did fin d a Ethernet option in the Setting of my Samsung Galaxy S23 plus! but it was grayed out. I then turned on Airplane mode to ensure all the Radios in the phone got turned off. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular connection.

I then plugged in the adaptor to my phone. After about 5 seconds, the Ethernet option in the setting became available. I went into this to see what was all under it and if I needed to change anything. Everything looked good. It was set to pick up an IP from the router. I next went into the Play store to update the phone installed programs. I had 30 plus program to update. After about 3 or so have them udpate! I went into the Notification shade to ensure Wi-Fi was still off and it was. I also checked to ensure the cellular was still disabled. So at this point, it was truely using the Ethernet connection. Went back to the Play store and waited for all the installed programs to finish updating. Then I went and did the same for the Galaxy Store. Both worked with the Ethernet connection. I next tried going to the Software udpate to update the phones OS and that failed. That only will work with Wi-Fi and will not take Advantage of a Ethernet connection. But that isn't the falt of the adaptor. I also tried seeing if Wi-Fi calling would work over an Ethernet connection. That also didn't work. But again, no falt of the adaptor.

I did the same test with a S21 and S10E Galaxy phone and neither one of them have cellular service to start with and the Ethernet connection also worked.

I also found when you connect your phone with this adaptor to the Ethernet! It automatically disables Wi-Fi. At least when I was downloading the Phone OS Software over Wi-Fi and plugged in the cable, the download stopped.

So if you want a way to connect your Samsung Galaxy S series phone that is secure to your home network and you don't want to use Wi-Fi this is the way to do it. Keeping in mind most things will work but a few items will not. But that isn't the falt of the adaptor. And I didn't need to do anything extra with the phone in order to use the Adaptor. This worked better then I was guessing it would. No I wasn't using Ethernet Tethering either. That was turned off. That is an different option.

1.0 out of 5 stars Flaky with Linux
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2024
I wouldn't buy this if you intend to use it with Linux. It is recognized as usb_ncm by Linux kernel 6.6.12 but it doesn't seem to work. Works on Windows 11 on the same laptop.

Update April 15th, 2024: kernel 6.8.5 works if you replug the USB cable. But anything that disrupts operation like replugging the ethernet cable or suspend/resume makes the ethernet stop working until the USB is replugged again. I still recommend avoiding until mainline Linux is made reliable.
