Cruxtec USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter

I went to buy a different one, actually, but the sales person upsold me to this Cruxtec one. Plugged it into my old laptop that I'm using as a home server and it errored out. It is recognised - as a Realtek device - but doesn't work, which is rather surprising because it does work on ChromeOS (I tested). Oh well, goes to show that the sales folk at PB Tech might sometimes not know better than you and everyone ends up wasting their time. #sadtimes I went to buy a different one, actually, but the sales person upsold me to this Cruxtec one.

Just what we needed to be able to connect a new mini server to the network for configuration. Just what we needed to be able to connect a new mini server to the network for configuration.

Some issues to start with, as the ethernet cable wasn't plugged in right. Working fine now! Some issues to start with, as the ethernet cable wasn't plugged in right. Working fine now!

... too many laptops these days without a rj45... it's a bummer if you need to re-install wifi drivers... ... too many laptops these days without a rj45... it's a bummer if you need to re-install wifi drivers...

I bought this a few weeks ago and I’ve been using it with my MacBook Pro 2013 model and it works absolutely fine. Sometimes takes a little bit to connect but when it does it works great.
