4.0 out of 5 stars great for OS-X, but not for Windows May 27, 2008

There is no Windows driver for this adapter, so if Windows is a necessity, go for another brand designed for Windows.... just read the specs to be sure it works with OS-X also.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works on older OSX systems, too! August 18, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
A lightning surge hit our cable modem and messed up our iMac's built-in ethernet card. So I plugged this adapter into a USB port, installed a third-party driver (to work with OSX 10.4), added the network connection via Network Preferences, and it works perfectly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works on my old iMac G4
When my iMac G4 Ethernet died, I bought the USB Ethernet adaptor skeptical that it would work. To my surprise, all I had to do was download and install the driver. It works!

3.0 out of 5 stars It works fine but, as expected, overpriced.
Plug-and-play on OSX as expected. This is about 3X the price of other USB >>> Ethernet adapters on Amazon though and they also work just fine.

Very happy. I did what it was supposed to do. The design is not bulky either so I like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly with Google Chromebook
There are times I want to use my Chromebook wired -- like when there is no wireless available. This works with Chromebooks no fuss or muss. Plug it in and you're in business.

The first product they sent me didn't work, and they sent another one without any hesitation. I will definitely do service with them again.
