USB to Ethernet Adapter

I bought this for my Sony 48 A90K OLED TV to upgrade from the 100mbps onboard ethernet port. I can confirm that this cable matters USB 3.O gigabit adapter works perfectly with the Sony A90K and does give gigabit speed if your broadband supports it. Just ensure that you disable wi-fi in the settings so that auto play works to enable the adapter. To take advantage of upto gigabit speed you need to connect the to the usb 3.0 port on the TV. For Sony a90k owners the usb 3.0 port is located on the bottom next to HDMI 2 and labelled for HDD. If you connect to a USB 2.0 port, the adapter will still work, but the maximum speed will drop from around 940mbps to around 400mbps due to usb 2.0 limitations. Being able to use more broadband speed on my TV has made 4k content noticeably more stable and so far I haven't had the resolution drop lower like it used to when using the in-built 100mbps port, and yes I'm aware that Netflix 4k barely goes over 20mbps so 100 should be easily enough. But I can confirm that in my case, that 4k streaming is more stable. Overall, if you're looking for a USB 3.0 to gigabit LAN adapter for a Sony A90K, this is the perfect choice. The price is great, the build quality is top notch, plus it just works :)

Purchased for my 2020 Sony KD-55A85 OLED and I can confirm this adapter works USB 3.0 port. Tested on my pc and it maxes out a gigabit internet connection, on the television I get about 700/700 presumably due to CPU in the tv not being strong enough to handle a gigabit connection but that's not the fault of the adapter.

I bought this item in an attempt to increase the speed of connection into my smart TV. Unfortunately it did not work. I don't see any failure being attributed to the product or company at all it was a risk I was willing to take. It is most likely a TV USB issue or perhaps a driver one. However I have now used the product to connect my laptop to my router if I need a reliable fast connection. The product feels robust. It does not feel like it is ready to fall apart. Very simple to use and have seen the speed increase as it states with listing. I have a 900mb/s connection and with USB 3.0, running a speedtest I obtained 938 mb/s I would recommend this product for laptops and for games consoles. For the price, it is worth trying if you want to try on smart TV but like me be prepared for it not to work.

It is a very nicely made unit and works as it should. However, some Utube reviews said it would work with most L.G. televisions. Sadly this was not the case with my LG model no: 65UN81006LB. I give this information so as to help others with this model TV. In no way is it the fault of 'Cable Matters' it is due to the failings of the LG company who have not allowed USB/ethernet adapters to work with their units through USB. 100Mbps is inadequate in this modern age and they fail to upgrade their ethernet in access of 100Mbps. This is the reason TV owners strive to improve matters for themselves by using Gigabyte ethenet adapters so they can stream live videos without constant buffering or frequent freezes. The addition of Ethernet Gigabyte would ownly add very negligable cost to a TV I would llike to add, I contacted 'Cable Matters about the problem, they replied almost immediaately with valuable tech' information. A big credit to Andrew on the team for his advice & help. In all other respects this device is recommended.

My internet speed was 94 now it is 159 Maps this is a fantastic product

This is a good product. It's cheap, plug n' play and works as advertised, such as on a PC/Laptop. However, for my own personal use case, it was a waste of money. Why? I tried it on my 2017 Sony Bravia KD-43XE8077 smart television which has a USB 3.0 port (NB: USB 3.0 is required for 1Gb speeds), however, like all smart TV's, it only has 10/100 ethernet. Potentially then, this USB 3.0 to ethernet adapter was an ideal solution to get 1Gb ethernet on my TV. To my disappointment, it didn't work, although the LED lights turned on and flashed. NB: Activating 'developer mode' in the television's settings and activating USB to ethernet didn't work either. After much research on forums, it turns out my television is Android 9.0 based but if you have a Sony TV, it must be at least Android 10 based for this ethernet adapter- which means a Sony TV from 2021 onwards. Lesson learned.

Purchased this for a Sony KD-85X80L TV so i could increase LAN speed. It worked straight away. No issues

Very good my speeds on tv went up from 99mbs to 400-600 mbs

Good product, it works on my new LG G5 TV. Unfortunately the quite expensive G5 TV doesn't have USB3.0. My max ISP is 1Gb/s but apparently by USB2.0 the speed won't get much higher than 300Mb/s. The current speed is fine but I don't understand why LG (and other brands aswell) don't supply these expensive TV's with a decent(not much more expensive) 1Gb/s LAN connection. Now you would say WiFi6e of which the LG G5 supports is enough. And yes my routers do support 6e they even do WiFi7. But it isn't in some cases. For example if you wanne stream 4K60fps HDR content, which you recorded with your smartphone, directly to the TV it doesn't work. The video will buffer all the time or the bit rate will be scaled down a lot. When you connect the TV to the onboard 100Mb/s LAN connection the TV is just able to handle it. But now with this adapter it goes even better. My guess is WiFi6e still ain't Full-Duplex and UTP is and that apparently makes a big difference.

This adaptor (Adaptor USB 3.0) works great with an LG C8 TV. I can now have USB 2 speeds (~400 Mbps) instead of 100 Mbps that the onboard ethernet port offers. In practice, the maximum bitrate of a movie I managed to play without any hiccups on PLEX app was 180 Mbps. Based on other reviews and forums I found out that this is the only adaptor from Cable Matters that works with LG C8. For example, a previous reviewer states that the adaptor doesn't work anymore with LG TVs but he bought the adaptor "1 Gigabit LAN + USB" and not the "Adaptor USB 3.0", which has a different chip and I assume thats the reason it doesn't work for his case, so don't be discouraged by that review. That reviewer also fails to mention the exact model of his TV. Other than being able to play movies with bitrate higher than 100 Mbps, I also noticed a faster response while jumping forward or backward in a video. All things considered, this is a great purchase, 10/10.

I can confirm this worked on my Hisense 65U75 TV!!! I went from 98mb/s to 280mb/s as I only have Starlink. Huge improvement. I also can tell you it has power light and connectivity lights. It also worked when the cheaper TPLINK did NOT..

J'ai acheté cet article dans le but de disposer d'un port Ethernet absent sur ma surface pro. Ce n'est pas compliqué, on branche, on attend un peu et une fois le pilote installé, on peut constater la présence d'une nouvelle carte réseau. Les débits sont stables, conformes à mes attentes et la latence inférieure à celle constatée en wifi. La construction de l'objet en elle même est très satisfaisante, robuste et ne faisant pas toc malgré le prix très honnête. A ceux qui se demandent s'il peut être utilisé sur un hub usb, et bien malheureusement non! J'ai acheté un hub usb sans alimentation de marque orico et visiblement, l'adaptateur USB/Ethernet ne fonctionne que s'il est branché directement sur la surface. En conclusion très satisfait de mon achat, j'ai d'ailleurs acheté un autre adaptateur de la marque (mini displayport/VGA) et même satisfaction!
