Reviews for Apple USB Ethernet Adaptor

I don't know what some of these other reviewers are having trouble with, but it works fine for me on a Retina Macbook Pro with 10.8.3.

I use the adapter with a MB Air 4,1 (11" Mid11) - Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I tried to use it with a Cisco Hub and it did not work. I thought it was the cable, or the hub, then I found this on Apple discussions forums that this is a common problem and you need a an external driver to fix the problem.

I downloaded the driver from driversworld.us, I installed it and now it works. Still, I found appalling that an official driver product requires a non Apple driver to work.

Seems to work fine. Had it on the desk for 3 months with everyday use. Had a slight issue with the USB being recognised when slotted in, but not sure if that's the port on the new MBA or the adaptor. Mainly just find that USB 2.0 and 100/T is all very slow and old tech. I know that there's a 1000/T thunderbolt, but I'm using that port already.. come on apple, time for an update.

I'm maxing out my 30Mbit connection to my MacBook Air.

I just wish there was a nice dock I could use with my MBA. Too many cables to manage between my external drives, monitors etc.

I never normally review products but I think it's important for this item as apple desperately need to do something about the quality. Mine broke 3 weeks after I got it and I am not careless with my products. It was a hardware problem too, which really surprised me - I could actually here the wires moving inside the plastic. I hope apple can improve these soon as it has made me consider switching products as I can now empathise with the complaints that say apple is 'locked in'.

Like previous reviews it stopped working after a few months!
I am very gentle and careful with all my electronic items! There is no visible wear or anything like that, just all of a sudden I just couldn't get internet anymore. For the price it really doesn't last - Apple needs to sort this out as they obviously are not built for the long run! Going to pursue getting my money back!

Actually, I used it less than a day, for about five hours.

Next day, it is dead.

My macbook air does not even recognize it when it gets connected to the usb port.

Very disappointed.

As soon as I updated to Mountain Lion this stopped working. Useless

Snow Leopard recognizes the device immediately. But even though it seems to be able to handle the presence of the device, it won't recognize an active Ethernet cable is connected. Only after repeated reboots with various attempts did the device finally work as required.
Otherwise, it seems to get the job done, albeit in a somewhat overpriced fashion. It works just fine with a 2-meter USB extension cable between it and a MacBook Air.

Contrary to what the salesperson at the Apple store said (and what the online description would have you believe), this STILL works just fine on iMac's. I'm running 10.7.3 Lion and no issues.

Plug in and you're online, doesn't get easier than that...
