Good quality / Value for money
I am starting to buy a lot more products from the UNI brand - they are good value for money, generally a lot cheaper than the major brands and they tend to have good quality chips / controllers built in. The customer service people are friendly plus all the products I've bought from them come with lifetime warranty like the major brands so why pay more? Saying that it is always wise to check out the quality of electronic products, but UNI seem to be doing the right things with quality control as far as I can see.I ran the device on Windows 10 on two different ASUS computers and works straight out of the box / plug and play... (It's always a good idea to check for driver updates for the device using Windows Update or Device Manager.).. I made a point to do that and Windows provided an updated driver so it was worth doing.It runs on Realtek USB GbE Family Controller - I have always found Realtek to be very reliable and good quality.The device definitely works at 1Gbps speed allowance (as expected for a Realtek controller).Weighs appx 29g so it is very light.The USB cable is relatively thick, stiff, and nicely braided, and the connector is well made / anodised-aluminium layered and fits securely into USB ports. The device itself is layered in dark grey anodised-aluminium which protects it well and also helps heat to dissipate. Its definitely a perfect size for travel - small and light enough to carry but just big enough that you wont misplace it easily. And the UNI emblem is cute and simple as well - doesn't take away from the overall look of things. The power and data lights are of decent brightness as well.I like the fact that the packaging is very simple - no plastic / no unnecessary packaging to go in the bin - just a simple little box that provides enough protection for transport.Definitely worth buying and trying it out.

Only one complaint
As per other reviews, it’s fast and easy to plug use and works well! I use it in the USB3 of my external monitor so that I can just plug the monitor into my laptops thunderbolt slot and it connects to the wired network through this too!Only complaint and I’m surprised no one has mentioned it….it get pretty hot, all the time, even when not in use (even when there’s not Ethernet wire plugged into it!) and so if I leave my monitor powered on (the USB hub stays powered up), it will stay hot even though there’s definitely nothing running through it…it means I’m not happy to leave it plugged in all the time and really defeats the purpose for me, sadly, as I have to plug it in each time to use it!

Impressive!
Not only did this arrive to the NW Highlands in less than 24 hours after ordering, I plugged into into my laptop USB-C port, connected the ethernet cable from the home hub, and instant connection. The only reason I purchased this was due to a lightning strike power surge that blew the ethernet port on the laptop, and although I can connect via wi-fi, it's not as good a signal. I am now getting the same signal strength as if the ethernet cable was connected directly to the ethernet port, so very pleased indeed; and purchased at a very reasonable price.

Made such a difference to using my PC!
So my laptop didn't come with a ethernet port and the wifi in the house is useless - but this adaptor has made using laptops a joy again - its so simple you just plug the adaptor in to a usb socket - no set up required - attach a ethernet cable and plug that into the router and you get instant connection!!It works with a macbook pro 2019 and a Lenovo laptop - no problems at all.Its well made and looks good and even more importantly it works!
