This is the adapter that is tested: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00BBD7NFU/ref=pe_3044161_189395811_TE_SCE_dp_1

I have ordered it as well to use on my LG C8. The adapter is said to be working despite the TV not recognizing it or showing the settings.

edit: made a table with the reported working results so far:

u/xMeowingtons · 8 pointsr/iastate

Assuming you live in the dorms, don't use the WiFi, it really is utter garbage and I never had the patience to use it when I lived in Friely. If you have a device with an Ethernet port, your best bet is too use that, as it is much faster. If you happen to have a device without a Ethernet port, they make usb to Ethernet adapters such as this one: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-SuperSpeed-Gigabit-Ethernet/dp/B00BBD7NFU

Hope this helps.

u/overfloaterx · 5 pointsr/Surface

+1 for this hub.

Haven't run into any issues using it with multiple devices simultaneously (e.g. mouse + headphones + HDD), no random disconnections, no transfer speed problems from external HDDs, etc. And it really is incredibly compact compared to most similar hubs.

The only thing it lacks that some hubs have is a built-in ethernet port. That said, ethernet is usually only an emergency fallback solution these days, and the port dimensions would necessitate a much bulkier hub. You can always get a separate USB3.0 to RJ45 GbE adapter in case you want to carry it for specific occasions while saving space with the smaller hub most of the time.

Any USB 3.0 specific adapter like this is going to work fine.

u/cipher7777 · 4 pointsr/PleX

Damn, I can confirm this actually works! I already had the following adapter from Cable Works (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00BBD7NFU) which looks to be the black version of the one they discuss in that link.

I've just finished some testing on my B7 with UHD Remuxes of Lucy and Pacific Rim using the XPlay Plex client and the native Plex client. Both software clients are playing these high bitrate 4k Remuxes over Ethernet without any issues for the first time ever!

This has been the biggest issue I've had with my B7 since i purchased it in 2017 as I have all my video content on a large Plex server and was extremely disappointed to learn about LG's decision to go with a 100MB connector on its ports given the issues I saw with my high bitrate 4k files.

Great post, OP!

u/pattymcfly · 3 pointsr/Dell

dell makes a usb to Ethernet dongle, and other type adapters can be found online for very cheap. https://amzn.com/B00BBD7NFU

Hey do you guys think this will work with the Switch?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BBD7NFU/ref=crt_ewc_title_gw_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1AMUYYA3CT6HJ

If not can you recommend one because the Nintendo one is hella expensive and the amazon one says it'll take 4-5 months.

u/sliyk · 3 pointsr/PleX

Sure.

My tv is LG65B7V

the dongle I bought from Amazon is at the following link;

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BBD7NFU/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_8?smid=A2HI77ZYQGGRR3&psc=1

​

Please keep in mind that I have also tried a usb 2.0 dongle which the TV didn't recognise, I randomly tried this 3.0 one (got the tip from the LG Wbos forums) and it really did the trick for me. I was going towards bashing-head-against wall frustration levels.

u/kwaleeb · 3 pointsr/sysadmin

This is what I currently use. It basically will switch from being an Ethernet adapter to being a read-only flash drive that has the driver on it if it detects the Ethernet adapter isn't being used or something along those lines. The adapter I linked is plugged into my dock and after I have my computer undocked for a while and I reconnect it, it must believe the drivers got uninstalled or something because it will switch from being an Ethernet adapter to being a USB drive in My Computer with the drivers. Immediately after you open the driver installer, it detects the drivers are already installed and switches back to being an Ethernet adapter.

I can deal with it, but end users won't be able to, so I'm looking for an adapter that doesn't do this. Problem is many sellers don't even advertise the specifics of this functionality, so I'm wondering if anyone has direct experience with one that doesn't have this

u/Hothabanero6 · 3 pointsr/Surface

Never seen a Surface like device with an Ethernet port. I doubt one exists. They are mobile devices so an Ethernet port is counter to it's primary function.

Windows 8 is a fact of life in new laptops. It's not bad, really. You'll likely get a free upgrade to 9 when it launches anyways.

As mentioned previously, your requirements are not super intense. You could get an all around fantastic laptop out of the Dell XPS 15 which is one of those laptops that pretty much leaves you without compromise.

It has a quad-core i7-4702HQ, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Nvidia GT 750M graphics, and a great 15.6" 3200x1800 touch display. It weighs only 4.4lbs, is super thin at .7" thick, and can get ~8+ hours of battery life.

The only issue is that it doesn't have an ethernet port. It's easily remedied, though. Just get a USB to RJ-45 Adapter.

u/uptown47 · 2 pointsr/PleX

Right... just reporting back on my findings on this and also looking for some help.

I've not been able to watch 4K films on my TV up until this point.

FIrstly, I bought this adaptor:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BBD7NFU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I "forgot" my WiFi settings so the TV had no internet connection. Plex was showing "No Connection".

As soon as I plugged it in it started flashing and Plex started working again! So... result so far!!!

Then I tried to play a movie that had the following audio...

  • Codec HEVC
  • Bitrate 85343 kbps
  • Bit Depth 10
  • Chroma Subsampling 4:2:
  • Color Primaries bt2020
  • Color Range tv
  • Color Space bt2020nc
  • Color Trc smpte2084
  • Frame Rate 23.976 fps
  • Height 2160
  • Level 5.1
  • Profile main 10
  • Ref Frames 1
  • Width 3840
  • Display Title 4K (HEVC Main 10 HDR)

    The video was "direct play" but the audio (detailed above) transcoded and, unfortunately, it still buffers now and again?

    However, if I play another audio stream which is "direct play" then the film plays fine without buffering?

    Does anyone know what's causing it to buffer when I'm transcoding my audio??

    If I check the bandwidth, CPU and RAM whilst it's transcoding the audio, the bandwidth seems to spike around 260Mbps (the CPU and RAM seem very low and steady - around 20% for both). However, the bandwidth spikes don't seem to correlate with the buffering? It can go to 260Mbps and then drop to 150Mbps - then drop to around 100 and suddenly 'buffer'?

    Anyone know where to direct my attention next to fix it so that I can also transcode audio?

    (BTW X-play seems to be worse than Plex for some reason - unless there's settings in X-play I don't know about - I've only used it once before?)

    This is a massive leap forward as it is. Just being able to play 4K films is great. But it would be amazing if I could also play the proper audio?

    Thanks for your help :-)

In reality, you don't need most of it anymore. Serial port? Small USB-to-serial adapter, job done. Optical drive? Basically never need one, when you combine stuff like server iDRAC and IPMI with remote management, and OS installs can be done off USB sticks.

The one thing I do wish my Surface Pro had is an Ethernet port, but I've managed to work around that also (usb3 to gigabit adapter).

Battery life? Well, a HP Spectre X360 15 inch - what may well be the best laptop of 2016 in my book - will have all-day battery life, and 4 USB ports (one USB-C, 3 A), plus HDMI and DisplayPort.

Arguably, a 15 inch slim ultrabook like that and a serial port adapter and USB3 bluray will still be less to haul than some ugly old brick. And if you find yourself standing in a data center needing to operate it one handed, it flips into tablet mode with a touch screen.

https://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Converter-Prolific-Chipset-TU-S9/dp/B0007T27H8

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-SuperSpeed-Gigabit-Ethernet/dp/B00BBD7NFU - or better yet this, if you want more USB3 ports also: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-SuperSpeed-Gigabit-Ethernet/dp/B01J6583NK

But, in answer to your actual question, no, I'm not aware of an old school brick with tons of ports that's worth buying. A few accessories you can keep in the bag until you need them makes more sense anyway - in my opinion.

Well, unless you go to rugged or semi-rugged designs. They have to be so bulky anyway that they toss in a ton of ports.

http://en.getac.com/notebooks/S410/features.html perhaps or machines of that style.

Dell also makes semi-rugged. Panasonic Toughbook etc. But all these rugged models cost a premium. Then again, if you get stuck in a snowdrift, you can use them as shovels, so... :)

Or else, you can go all out! :) http://en.getac.com/notebooks/X500-Server/features.html

u/turlian · 2 pointsr/techsupport

This sounds like your Ethernet port on your motherboard is getting locked down to Fast Ethernet speeds for some reason.

If you're willing to throw $14 at it, grab one of these and see if that makes a difference.

u/picano · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

My first search results for "Cable Matters" came up with

https://www.cablematters.com/pc-489-138-usb-20-to-10100-fast-ethernet-network-adapter.aspx

that explicitly states " This product is NOT compatible with the Nintento Switch." (Mispelling theirs.)

The 2nd adapter didn't say the same thing on their own site but did on their Amazon listing.

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Ethernet-Adapter-Supporting-x/dp/B00BBD7NFU

Is it a different model?

u/beach13 · 1 pointr/PleX

I have a B7A and I bought this Adapter:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BBD7NFU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

At first I didn't think it was working when I plugged it in it said "unknown device connected" and under network connection it said "not connected". However I opened up plex and I played a 4k HDR 100Mbps+ movie and it works great with no stuttering at all, and this is in plex, not XPLAY. Well worth it.

Just thing to note you have to forget your wifi SSID otherwise it will default to that.

EDIT. Just did a speed test on it. Was able to get 250 down. When my computer can get 300. So pretty happy, this was my only complaint about this tv

u/RulerOf · 1 pointr/homelab

What you're saying here should work. Not clear on why the sonic wall is plugged independently into the switch. Not NATting with it?

Anyway, this is the kind of challenge that a home lab is for.... But ultimately I have to admit that I wouldn't do it myself.

I'd VT-d the USB controller to the VM and use one of these. Or switch the NIC out with a dual port version.

(The 1000Base usb3 nics are fu**ing amazing. Like Intel-on-a-stick quality data speeds.)

u/PM__YOUR__GOOD_NEWS · 1 pointr/Switch

If you have a desktop or a WiFi router you can use that as a middleman to bridge your apartment's connection to the Switch's WiFi connection.

For the desktop you'd need a second WiFi adapter or one of these with the USB end on the switch and the cat5 end connected to your desktop.

u/zendofzwrld · 1 pointr/PFSENSE

OK thanks, I'm just on day two of trying to plan my build.

So would you use something like this going into your switch?

u/jpaek1 · 1 pointr/techsupport

Few suggestions then at this point, in no particular order:

  1. USB to Ethernet adapter instead of using the built-in: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-SuperSpeed-Gigabit-Ethernet/dp/B00BBD7NFU/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1522086886&sr=8-8&keywords=usb+to+ethernet

  2. Install your own internal ethernet: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Gigabit-Ethernet-PCI-Express-TG-3468/dp/B003CFATNI/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1522086941&sr=1-3&keywords=pcie+ethernet+card

  3. Reinstall Windows 10 and make sure to install the drivers only (which may or may not actually fix the problem)

    I would recommend 1 or 2 as they are cheap solutions that should work without any further issues.
u/Sepheus · 1 pointr/techsupport

There are USB Ethernet adapters that work well, look up something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BBD7NFU

u/bluaki · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

I guess it's easier to understand if I link some stuff.

You can get something like this cable, this adapter, this hub, or anything else that looks similar. They all do the same thing so it doesn't really matter which. Any of them can connect to the bottom of the Switch to let you plug USB stuff in. Switch has the same kind of port (it's called USB-C) as the recent Macbooks so a lot of these things say they're for Macbook but they work with Switch too.

Only some USB LAN adapters work with Switch. Here's a few examples: HORI, Plugable, Cable Matters, AmazonBasics. Any of these work the same so get whichever one you can. They all work with the dock too.

If you don't care about using a LAN adapter with your dock at all, you could also get this LAN adapter instead which plugs directly into the Switch without needing another adapter, but you cannot use it when the Switch is docked.

u/Colonel_Izzi · 1 pointr/vridge

> Do you plug a gigabit ethernet adapter right into your gear vr USB port?

Sure, you can do that if you get hold of a Type-C to Ethernet adapter like this. Or you can get a more standard Type-A adapter like this and use it with a Type-C OTG adapter like this (you get one of these with the S8/S8+). And obviously you'd want a router/access point/host PC with Gigabit Ethernet ports if you want to avoid any bottlenecks.

To be clear though this solution will only work with S8 devices (and only with the 2016 and 2017 Gear VR models) because earlier Gear VR compatible phones do not support Ethernet connections (Samsung added it back for DEX). You can probably hack Ethernet support back into older phones if you're rooted but I can't help with that because I've never done it.

Hey,

There is the Lenovo Yoga 720 that appears to check off all of your boxes. It is touchscreen and 2-in-1. No Ethernet, but you can get a USB 3.0 to Ethernet port. It weighs a mere 2.9lbs. Battery life is decent, up to 8 hours, and will be excellent for watching Netflix. It also has a fingerprint reader.
