This USB Ethernet Adapter is dead.

It worked only for 2 years. It was connected to Nintendo Switch. It is dead now.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

For the price, it seems like you got your money's worth out of it though.

Yes it's dirty cheap. But a funny thing is Plugable one is still working good with another Nintendo Switch for 5 years.

I never liked dirty cheap! Like gambling with my money and my time. Roll the dice and take your chances at that end of the spectrum.

And I'm sure someone out there has the reverse story about the Plugable, too!

i've got a pluggable multi-function dongle thingy - usbc to hdmi/1000-base-T/usb A that I use with my macbooks and dell xps units - it's been fine, but it's not connected 24/7

My adapters are connected 24/7.

It's working great for now.
Pros: So cheap, 1gb, works great with Nintendo Switch, Asix AX88179 Chipset.
Cons: Flat cable. 1 LED for traffic on the body.

They've gotten so much better in the past couple years. The Realtek 8156 chipset rocks; I have a Plugable branded one I use on my Macbook when at my desk and get pretty much wire speed 2.5G without any issues. There was a time when I would have hurled at the idea of using USB ethernet full time, yet here I am.

Of course Plugable used a white LED brighter than the sun for a link indicator for some reason, but that's not Realtek's fault.

I like plugable. I've used their usb to serial cables for years. I did have to get a new cable when going from windows 7 to 10.
