  • Apple USB Ethernet Adapter

    I love it!

    Written by SA from Spokane

    Sep 28, 2009

    I bought this two years ago, and it is amazing!
    I use it to get connected to the internet where is no wireless or ethernet. I also use it to receive and send faxes. This thing has the highest quality ever! Also, it works great with OS 10.6

    OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard Problem Solver, too!

    Written by DG from San Rafael

    Sep 8, 2009

    Bought this originally for my MB Air, and it works great for those few remaining hotels that don't have wi-fi yet, but it also solved the problem of the loss of Appletalk in Snow Leopard for my older network laser printer. Using this created a separate USB Ethernet setting I could dedicate to the printer, while still maintaining the regular ethernet port for my cable modem.
    So, it's not just for road warriors, but also a handy gizmo for people that aren't ready to upgrade their old network printers, too. Guess I'll have to get another for my MB Air, now!

    No LED light to check whether network is alive

    Written by HM from New York

    Good design and compact size.

    However there's no LED light to see whether the connected network is alive. This is iritating for me.

    And though this is not a review, I wish Apple include this into the package of MacBook Air. (Or make a discount if you purchase this simulatenously)

    Works with MacBook too!

    Written by JZ from WEST HOLLYWOOD

    The ethernet jack on my 3-year-old MacBook (2GHz Intel Core Duo, running 10.5.6) stopped working, so I went to an Apple Retail Store to buy one of these adaptors. The staff told me it only works with a MacBook Air, but I was desperate and ignored their warnings. Thank God I did because it works perfectly! So even if you don't have a MacBook Air, buy this adaptor with confidence. It totally works!

    Perfect for Linux

    Written by MO from LA COLLE SUR LOUP

    I love this device: beautiful, cheap, light, and above all, it works out of the box if you are using Linux (2.6.26 and above). You just plug it in and you have a new eth1 network device.

    I seemed to get the same download bandwidth than with my regular Ethernet connector.

    This device is so much lighter that the one from D-Link (and others), and much more solid than Linksys'. I also recommend it on my blog.

    unreliable, breaks lousy

    Written by JL from Teaneck

    Once again off to the apple store to replace it. Of course may end up with one that doesn't work out of the bag like last time. Why does this have to be proprietary so you can't even test it without having another Air? Best reason not to buy an air is this dongle.

    Works Great on Dual G5 with 3rd Party Driver

    Written by PK from Vancouver

    Feb 18, 2009

    Bought one of these for my Dual G5 running 10.5.6. Plugged it in - device was recognized in System Profiler and showed up in the Network System Preference. Only problem: it said the ethernet cable was unplugged. It wasn't and the switch showed a valid 100BaseT connection. I then tried the adapter in a Core Duo iMac also running 10.5.6 and it fully worked.

    Mr. Google helped me find an open source driver. I installed the driver on the G5, rebooted and now the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter works perfectly! Apple may intend it for use with the MacBook Air, but inside is a pretty standard chipset. The only problem is the Apple supplied drivers in 10.5.6 favour Intel systems and work poorly (as in don't work) on PowerPC.

    Fantastic

    Written by EG from Kalamazoo

    Nov 11, 2008

    The ethernet port on my Late 2006 MacBook gave out today after two years of faithful service. I use my computer a lot, so it's probably had the equivalent of 2.5 to 3 years of work. I stopped by the store and picked up one of these adapters after reading reviews of their use with a fully updated Leopard. It works like a charm now, and I can continue using my Mac normally.

    Yet another way that Apple has my back. Although I would have been better off with Apple Care (my mistake though).

    It works on my G4 mac mini!

    Written by WC from TORQUAY

    I'm using G4 1.42 mac mini, upgraded to 1GB RAM & loaded with Tiger OS. Lately the network port was struck by lighting & the machine was unable to get online. Thanks to this product, it saved the life of my mac mini!

    All I needed was to upgrade my OS from Tiger to Leopard, subsequently I used my macbook to download Mac OS 10.5.2 Combo updates & installed the updates on my mac mini. Then I plug this adapter into my mac mini and it works!
