Question 1

A power surge seems to have taken out the ethernet port on my desktop.  Will this allow me to reestablish my RJ45 dsl connection via a usb port?  Is this only for computer to computer connections?  Thanks for any advise.

Accepted Answer

The USB Ethernet adapter functions just like a NIC or Network port in the computer, it just translates through the USB port.  My laptop has NO RJ45 jack at all, just wireless.  So for a wired connection I use the Trendnet USB network adapter - it works just great.

Question 2

Will this work with Windows 10 without a separate driver install?  In other words will it simply plug and play without any installation?

Accepted Answer

These really work well for us. I would say it's pretty much plug and play with minimal installation. I didn't need to do anything special to get it to work.

Question 3

Does this work with the Raspberry Pi 3 model B?

Accepted Answer

I have used this with Raspberry Pi 2 and it works flawlessly. My guess is, it should work with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
