Solved a Router Problem
By Gregory
Rated 5 out of 5

I needed to connect my RJ45 FiOS internet cable directly to my laptop in order to get top speed from the FiOS service. My laptop did NOT have a RJ45 port so this adapter, converting RJ45 to USB, solved the problem. Definitely Plug 'n Play installation.
Working well for weeks

So far so good, no problems. Purchased to replace the intermittent built-in NIC on a laptop.
