Pros: Fast. Doesn't get hot. (runs cool) Cheap Works nice in my new firewall box.

Cons: None really. Other than BSD seems to have dropped this chipset

Overall Review: I was upgrading my Opnsense router from a Core 2 duo e8400 to a Dell E6430 laptop (I5-3340 with AES). I used 2 Intel OEM GB Nic cards in my old firewall build. Dell E6430 has only one ethernet port so I needed another ethernet port. No matter what I tried, I could not get this adapter to work with Opnsense or Pfsense. Apparently, its a short on BSD which seemingly dropped support for the chipset used on this adapter. (AAlix?). ........so. I now run IpFire. (Linux based firewall) on my Dell laptop...and its working extremely awesome! I'm running 2 desktops, a PS3, and a couple of phones. No probs. I'm getting my full bandwidth.

Pros: Works as advertized. Recognized as 1Gb network adapter by Ubuntu 16.04/14.04 Light, sturdy.

Cons: The cable might be too rigid for others, but I'm fully OK

Overall Review: Definitely recommend if you look for a reliable USB3/1GB LAN adapter for your laptop/ultrabook

Pros: TRENDnet TU3-ETX is the ASIX AX88179 -- The TU3-ETX is Plug & Play via Windows 10 v1803 which installed its own driver (oem43.inf) and is ready to go OOTB. No driver update is necessary, but if you feel compelled, "Search the internet…" installs the most current driver. The TU3 is connected to a 7 port Orico USB3 hub connected to a 6 year old Toshiba i5-3317U laptop. All file transfers through the TU3-ETX to other GbE computers are over 100 MB/s with 103 to 106 MB/s being average (824 to 848 mbps). All in all the TU3-ETX is better than expected and well worth the money.

Cons: None!

Pros: Bought a few of these, they were all 100% functional under Windows, Linux and OSX.

Cons: Cable is short, but that be actually be handy.

Overall Review: I will continue to buy this product.

Pros: Works flawlessly Uneventful driver install

Cons: None

Pros: Simple plug and play that works well. Backward compatible for USB 2.0 (no extra power just USB)

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Great product

Pros: Works fine. Reports 1Gbps though I've not tested throughput.

Cons: Nothing yet.

Overall Review: Needed a wired connection for my NIC-less laptop to set up a new network and have been using it regularly when in my office. Only had a few weeks but hasn't broke yet.

Pros: It got my Switch up and running as soon as I plugged it in, no setup required. Basically instant connection nearest I can tell. Don't know what more you could want, really.

Cons: A bit unwieldy; you may want to clear a couple inches of shelf space around whatever you have it hooked up to after installation so it can settle.

Overall Review: Grabbed it because it was cheap and small, zero regrets thus far. About as good a choice as any, realistically speaking.
