KY - 688 USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Hub

- The item works right out of the box (the operating system, at least in Windows 10, has built it drivers).
- Both the Ethernet port and all the 3 USB 3.0 ports can be used at the same time.
- The build quality seems high.

Suggestion

- The USB cable is a bit short.
- No lights to indicate the adapter is working, and mainly when the Ethernet connection is working.
- No driver was included in the package (not that a driver is needed).
- There is no connector to power the adapter externally.
The updated driver for the Realtek RTL8153 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet can be downloaded from the Realtek site:

I have an older computer in the house that has just a couple of USB ports WAAAYY in the back, any time I want to plug the printer or an external drive in, much more conveniently accessible ports to the front of the computer, the cord is just long enough to plug in and sit the box on top of the computer where it's easy to reach and plug peripherals into

The Nintendo Switch instantly realized it was now wired and I didn't have to set up a new connection or make any settings changes whatsoever, the Switch dock doesn't have any extra USB I purchased this particular network adapter so I could continue charging my Switch Pro Controller without compromise and future proof for more USB devices

I needed a USB hub that would actually do what it's made to do, now I have had experience in buying other USB hubs before, i check the specs first then all the latest reviews and critical reviews and this thing seems like the real deal, the price was about yay-high but I gave it a go cause I needed a reliable usb hub, this USB hub is perfect

I had tried a lower-powered hub at first with my Raspberry Pi, a small single-board computer, one quickly runs short once one starts using peripherals, using this large hub lets me dedicate one outlet with a USB to micro-USB cable to power the Pi, while the `` upstream'' USB port handles the communications

Contrary to a few other reviews, already it doesn't supply strong enough signal for my Logitech wireless mouse unless the mouse is immediately next to the hub, i'm assuming that it needs external power, wish the manufacturer would make recommendation as to the correct power cable

I got the optional UGREEN AC to DC Adapter for this device so that this hub could power my external USB hard drives - enclosed external hard drives won't work with USB hubs unless there's an AC adapter plugged into the hub, all works great and build quality so far seems fantastic

I had an external HDD that I was ready to give up on since it was routinely reticent upon its insertion into the seasoned USB ports that came with my PC back in the day, this powered port hub has allowed the venerable drive to spin up reliably for lo these past four months
