oooo, thanks!!

Not a damn gupta!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is very true

Good one! So true!!!

You're welcome!

Thanks for the tip Michael!

You're welcome!

That's some fast speed! I'm sure you don't have buffering issues right?!

Who is ur service provider

oooooooo, I don't know. It's a worthy experiment to try it out!

oh sweet!!!!

Then buy it

I think some people have tried to do this and it hasn't worked. Your laptop needs to be able to accept a video source and I don't know how exactly to make that happen. :(

True! That little gadget still works to this day. :)

Yeah, should totally work!

Did it work for you? I think my motherboard might be broken too

@@fluoryte ah well, a broken motherboard is a whole other thing!

thank you for checking out my video. :)

Thanks for the advice Charles, that could be another video! :)

nope, you don't need a network card. First thing I would suggest is to check your current speed. If you're on wifi, how fast is your internet speed?

this would work best if you didn't have a wireless connection like you do with the hotspot. :(

first answer, no, it won't work if you plug into a charger and into a wall socket. You want to get power through ethernet wire? second answer, it could work but first gens might be a bit tricky. You could try it and if it doesn't work you could return it. :)

I know what you mean but I don't think this device will do what you're looking for. I will need to look into this to get you a good answer. Good question though!

I don't know tbh. :)

if you're doing any torrenting, then yes, it would help you. :)

So, you've plugged the adapter and connected it to an ethernet cable?

yes, it totally should work!

Yes, you have to plug one end in your router. Otherwise, it won't work. eBay sells 100ft wires for like $10 so try that.

@@hasinimam2240 Thanks Hasin!

I think it can! It's a pure data connection. Also, you can connect the format printer to your router and access the printer from your laptop when you connect to your network. :)

@@Econoballer i think i tried some time back on a thermal label i wanted to print wirelessly from but spectrum router does not allow that.

maybe, I don't know, but it's probably best to just use a Wifi adapter for that. :)

thanks for the thorough description! I think it has a lot to do with USB port compatibility. If you got a usb to ethernet adaptor that was usb 3.0 compatible, then I believe you would see faster speed. you could most likely return the adapter.

My gut says no. But what have you got to lose if you try? :)

do you have a usb port?

it should totally work! If the port is at least USB 2.0 it should totally work. :)

Yes! It should totally work! :) Let me know how it goes.

you're welcome!

I'm not really sure of the xbox setup to be honest. :0

no, it doesn't. You do need the usb plug on your computer in order to plug this in. :)

I've seen those hubs as well. They do work, but some work better than others. I don't use them myself but a friend of mine does and she has no complaints. :)

i have used it constantly since the start of this video post on an older laptop and so far, it hasn't burned out my usb port. If you have a usb-c port, I would get an ethernet adapter that uses that port and use the mouse on the usb 2 port. :)

hhmmmm, I don't think so. I don't know if anything will happen in that case. Have you tried it yet?

I don't know of anyone trying that. I don't have a smart tv so I don't have a way of trying it. Does the smart tv have an ethernet connection in the back?

@@Econoballer yes it does , i have searched so many videos on youtube and have found nothing about it.

@@kristallopez482 I'm thinking that it might not work. I don't want to tell you, "what have you got to lose? Try it!" because I don't know what might happen. :)

great question. I would say no. Are you thinking about plugging the usb piece into your printer and running the cat cable to your router? If so, then the answer is definitely no. :)

Yes that's true... I fear windows updates more than anything now

I had a similar issues six months ago (it was occasional) and a restart seemed to fix the issue.

@@Econoballer I'd say - be careful with windows. I've got linux mint running on my new Acer and no problems have popped up other than the bios being fussy with the new OS. It's almost to the point where I'm wanting to get a proper linux laptop from system76 and the heck with Microsoft

@@lawrencecavens5760 awesome linux ftw

At that rate if you keep repairing it, it could last forever!

make sure you get the right one, there are usb 2.0 adapters as well

that laptop has been a workhorse! It has paid for itself and then some in the last couple of years. :)

You can try to get a USB to Ethernet Adapter that is USB 2.0....maybe that will work?

it would depend on how old your laptop is. An older laptop would really only need a 2.0

I'm also on Windows 7

so sounds like your laptop has an ethernet port? Maybe the port is bad or maybe your cable is bad. Try this adapter to trouble shoot it. If this adapter works then it could be that your ethernet port is bad. I hope this helps!

@@Econoballer I found the problem, it turns out my ethernet port got shorted by a storm so I bought an adapter card and now it works!

yes, it totally should. :)

sorry for my late reply. Yes, it does. :)

find out if your laptop has 2.0 or 3.0 USB ports. :) That information should be in your computer specs.

if you have the proper ethernet port, then yes, you can do that. This adapter is great for when you don't have the ethernet port on your laptop. :)

Sorry buddy, I don't know, I don't play LAN games. Maybe someone can help here? Anybody?

If you want to play via lan with just one friend, you can buy a "crossover" ethernet cable which is designed to be able to talk back and forth between devices. I'm not sure if crossover cables work for regular internet connection. If you want to connect more than 2 devices, you need to buy a network switch, and an ethernet cable for each device, all you need to do is power the network switch, and plug in an ethernet cable for each device, then you will be all linked up via LAN. If you want each device to connect to the internet as well, you need to connect the switch to your modem or router.

@@RavenWindrunner totally agree, thank you!

ah, my laptop doesn't have an ethernet port and my wifi died. :( Sorry for my late reply, thanks have been crazy lately. I'm glad the video helped! Take care Gino!

@@Econoballer Hi no problem In the meantime i bought one myself hoping to increase the speed compared to the original one port on the laptop. Unfortunately the problem is the pc ... in particular the cpu very weak. I have to buy something better. I have discovered this site www.cpubenchmark.net/ It is impressive how different are cpu performances ... the last cpus are out of this world indeed. This is the cpu in my laptop ... very low score www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+E1-1200+APU&id=1427

@@gino3286 CPU speed has little to no bearing on ethernet speed. The port on your laptop probably only supports 100mbit connection, where as a 3.0 ethernet adapter like this is capable of 1000 mbit. If you only have USB 2.0 ports on your laptop, then you wouldn't be able to take advantage of this adapter. But all that has little to do with the CPU.

@@RavenWindrunner Hi ! thank you very much for your kind and very helpful reply. My laptop is an old Lenovo Flex 2-14d ... the laptop has indeed a usb 3.0 port. Could it be a usb ports driver issue maybe ? how can i check that ? I will check also this question before switch to a better laptop. From what i understand this one is at the very bottom performance wise. I am sorry because i like its look very very much. And also its touch screen. Thanks a lot again, gino

@@gino3286 I just looked up the specs on your laptop, first off it appears your processor is the AMD E1-2100, not 1200, while it's still fairly low end it is a bit better. In regards to your question about the USB ports, your laptop has 2x USB 2.0 ports and 1x USB 3.0, you would need to ensure that the adapter is plugged into the 3.0 to get maximum capabilities. There are many possible bottlenecks, if your router or modem has 100Mbit rated ethernet ports, it will be limited by those, if you are using old cat 5 cables (cat 5e and cat 6 are capable of 1000Mbits but anything older is not) it will be limited to 100Mbits max potential. Also these are all ideal circumstances so you will rarely if ever see that level of performance, there will most likely be loss in speed somewhere in the system. What internet connection speed do you pay for with your internet provider? Also what speeds are you experiencing when plugged into your laptops built in port? If its below 100Mbits, then you will not see any improvement using a gigabit capable ethernet port, the only benefit you would see would be transferring files over the network.

you mean a power outlet? I would say no. :)

check the specifications on your computer, you should be able to see if your USB ports are 2.0 or 3.0. :)

@@Econoballer thank you

yes, it totally should. I'm not the biggest fan of powerline adaptors though, you have to get the really expensive ones to get high traffic. I hope this helps!

okay thanks a lot, i'm in a bit of a situation - i need WiFi to reach our garage from the house and it's 20m away from the house, do you know any good ways for me to get a good WiFi in there? (there is a cable that leads from the house to the garage which is why i was thinking of the Powerline Adapters...and I have also purchased a Netgear EX2700 N300 Wireless Wifi Extender but i couldn't get it setup so ended up returning it...)

yes. :)

Good question, not sure at this point. Do you have the micro usb cable the firestick came with? Thanks for the kind words. :D

Here is what you need to interface the FireStick to the Ugreen USB ethernet adapter. Gives the FireStick a standard USB port. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXAC1ZW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

yes it does. :) Here's a quick link: amzn.to/2I1dMNk You'll have a lot of tentacles hanging around but you will get a standard USB port to attach all sorts of goodies to it. :)

What goodies do you attached to yours with that adapter/interface?

Keyboard RF Rii 8, FlashDrive-pen drive, thirdUSB is open port, and Ethernet connection. This is on the Ugreen 3usb hub/ethernet device mentioned with link above. Used with FireStick Gen2

I don't know if that will work but I don't think it would harm your phone!

Are you trying to get ethernet connection to your phone? I am not sure, but I doubt it would work. Most phones only support basic devices like external storage and game controllers through an OTG cable. The phone still needs the software to be able to convert USB to ethernet.

@@RavenWindrunner Thanks for that insight!

nope, I'm pretty sure you don't need one. :)

Thanks

yes, they should work on every laptop. :)

@@Econoballer Thank you so much for quick response.

increase speed over wifi? Absolutely!

possibly another reason to go wired!

You mean the Vista operating system? Sure!

@@inexplicit Yeah O.O

I have Windows 7 😎

Thanks for this insight, it really helps. I didn't know that?

Some need driver's well most wireless and USB Ethernet ones do because if no driver's it acts just like a normal USB

@@ninjabrox and you can't install the driver?

@@Econoballer drivers are for windows specifically, since nintendo switch works on its on operating system, usb adapters like this wont work. Nintendo only builds in basic drivers for controllers and storage devices. This won't work on any consoles for this reason.

@@RavenWindrunner got it, thank you. :)

You mean, to connect to a smart tv? I don't think that might work.

@@Econoballer No, i mean a none smart tv with hdmi connection.

@@nicolas-davidgouin2365 My answer would be no. :)

Not at all. Your mileage may vary of course, but that depends more on your router connection speed as opposed to adapters like these. For me, this adapter is a godsend. :)

@@Econoballer what about the more cheaper ones?

@@GabrielSilva-gj6bs hmmmm, I can't really speak on the cheaper ones, but I can tell you this one works for me. :)

@@Econoballer Thanks for all the additional information you have given me

on a smart tv with a usb port? No, I do not think this will work. I believe your tv will need certain drivers to make this work and I don't know if it's possible to install those drivers. sorry. :)

I would love to know as well!

You can just connect your Ethernet cord to the back of your ps4

I've heard that it does!

You mean a stereo receiver?

@@Econoballer channels receiver?

@@Thehunter-pz1oe you should be able to, yes.

you have to connect to your modem. :)

@@Econoballer not work bro

@@malikshani2914 how are you configuring it? I'm literally looking at my configuration right now and it's working for me.

should totally work for linux. :)

yes, it should work!

Laughs in 1gbps

@@sable7034 i pay for 1 gigabit but only get 350 mbps on WiFi on Ethernet i get like 900-1050

I believe it does. Let me know what you find out.

Econoballer ok thanks for responding t because I’m moving my ps4 to a room sort of far from my internet box and I use a Ethernet cable

I've seen this question asked several times and although I no longer have a PS4, I can tell you folks have used it to connect to a PS4. :)

Econoballer so it does work for a ps4?

@@tree4080 yes

the adapter probably doesn't work on tv's.

That is good price. Here in Czechia I have 500 Mbit/s (symetrical) for 600 CZK / month (about 23 €) provided via SC UPC fiber which is quite rare in here, otherwise you rely on DOCSIS cable internet (crappy upload) or worse on crappy ADSL :/

Is it good? Please reply because I want to buy this

FBI it increased speed by about 3x but still isn’t enough for stadia. Stadia you need google fiber or at least 500mbps. I have 100mbps and this didn’t make a difference. It works as intended and I just plugged it in and it works. It’s worth the money for sure..👍🏼

true! :)

You mean is it compatible with PS2? I dunno. :)

no it won't work for PS2, you need windows or mac to install drivers to make it possible.

Restart your laptop, it should connect after that.

no, that would probably require some time. If you make it, I'd love to see it!

yep

I really don't think so but definitely worth a try?

The idea of USB port for TV is to play media from a USB flash drive or see photos. I have a non-smart TV that has a USB port. This port is to show photos from flash drive and also to update the TV firmware. All TV ports can be accessed by the input menu. To update firmware, it needs to download the firmware from the TV manufacture website to a flash drive and connect to the USB port on TV.
