Product Overview
AI-generated summary
For £15.59 ex‑VAT, this StarTech USB 2.0 → 10/100 Ethernet dongle is a sensible “quick fix” if you’ve got a device that doesn’t have a working network port, or if you need a cheap temporary link in an office. In day-to-day B2B use—logging into a thin client, basic file access, printers, general browsing—it does the job reliably. StarTech generally means decent driver support and fewer “mystery compatibility” headaches than no-name adapters, which matters when you’re rolling them out across multiple desks.
That said, it’s USB 2.0, so don’t expect miracles if you’re moving large files or streaming a lot of traffic—speed and responsiveness will be noticeably worse than a proper onboard gigabit NIC or a USB 3.x Ethernet adapter. Also, if you’re buying for anything mission-critical (VDI, heavy Wi‑Fi replacement, server-adjacent workloads), I’d spend a bit more for USB 3.0/gbE instead. Bottom line: buy it if you need a low-cost, dependable fallback network connection; skip it if performance is a priority or you’re replacing a primary connection long-term.
