I would suggest the H-model (NUC6I5SYH) rather than the K-model. The H accommodates a 2.5in SATA drive (SSD or HDD) in addition to an m.2 SSD, whereas the K only has the m.2 slot.

There are many, many reviews of the 6th gen NUC as an ESXi host (just search for "nuc6i5syh esxi"), but these are from the more well-known, virtualisation-centric blogs:

  • Virten.net - VMware Homeserver – ESXi on 6th Gen Intel NUC

  • virtuallyGhetto - VSAN 6.2 (vSphere 6.0 Update 2) homelab on 6th Gen Intel NUC

  • From this very subreddit, /u/exnihilo415 installed ESXi on a NUC6I5SYH and shared his thoughts about it.

    The 6th gen i5 will be more than sufficient to run a few Win64 and Linux VMs. I have several of the 5th gen i7 NUC (NUC5I7RYH) in a VSAN cluster, and they are great, capable ESXi platforms.

    My only complaints about the NUC are:

  • Single NIC, which can be remedied by buying the appropriate USB NIC and installing the relevant VIB. Installation instructions here. Each of my NUCs have a StarTech USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet NIC (USB31000S) for vMotion traffic; you may want one for pfSense. (Works best with a managed switch that supports VLANs)

  • If the fan has to ramp up, it gets very noisy. The i7s are prone to running a little hot, so I hear the fans more than an i5 owner would. For the workload you described, the Plex Media Server might be a concern. If you have huge media files (20-30GB) or do a lot of transcoding, there is the possibility that the server workload will cause the fan to rev up, and the net effect will be like watching a film in the same room as someone blow-drying their hair. I run my Plex server on the NAS to avoid this possibility.

u/BrentNewhall · 6 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

You can use wired internet if you use an Ethernet-to-USB adapter, like this one. :-)

u/rbpelliot · 4 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Agreed that a port would've been a no brainer, but at least 3rd party adapters work this time around (as opposed to Wii and Wii U, which (almost?) exclusively required the Nintendo adapter). I picked up this USB3 gigabit adapter on Amazon. Works out of the box and about $10 less than the officials.

u/Kakkerlak · 4 pointsr/PLC

If I was parachuted into a project without Ethernet or IP troubleshooting tools, I'd nip $200 from the project budget and get:

  1. A USB/Ethernet dongle adapter. Disable all the Windows protocols and services so it can be used purely for network sniffing. I like the ordinary StarTech units, which are inexpensive and robust.

  2. A network tap. While you can configure some switches for port mirroring, and true passive network taps are expensive, you can get a lot of bang for your buck with a DualComm 5-port switch that has one port permanently set up as a mirror output.

  3. Wireshark. Again, there are dedicated-purpose industrial analyzers on the market (I swear by Frontline Test Equipment) but Wireshark is the Swiss Army Knife of IP analysis, free and well understood.

  4. A powered USB hub. You don't need those dongles and switches hanging precariously off your laptop.

    That's only chewed up $140 of your budget. Spend the rest on energy drinks and Funyuns.

The Wii LAN adapter is a USB2 10/100 Fast-Ethernet LAN adapter using the ASIX AX88772 chipset. The AX88772 is a fairly widely used chip, and thus available in many third party adapters, all of which are compatible with the Wii / Wii U. Many of these adapters even advertise as being compatible with the Wii or Wii U, and all this means is that use the AX88772. These adapters will also work with the Switch, but will still be limited by 10/100 USB2 speeds , which in practice are slower then 802.11ac (the latest WiFi standard), so using a USB2 LAN adapter isn't a great option.

The official Switch LAN adapter by HORI is USB3 10/100/1000 gigabit LAN adapter using the ASIX AX88179.

TL;DR: The Nintendo Switch is compatible with USB3 Gigabit LAN adapters that use the AX88179 chipset. These will support much higher bandwidth, and will have lower latency than a USB2 10/100 adapter (such as the Wii U LAN adapter). The following adapters should all work:

Pluggable

Startech

Diamond

TRENDnet

UGREEN

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.

>absolute best (reliable & smallest) usb adapter for Ethernet?

Hard to say... reviews are scarce. There's this from 2013:

So maybe the Anker model however... would you want fries ports with that?

u/upcboy · 3 pointsr/Surface

I don't use a Case or a Sleeve so I can't comment on that, But for a USB port I use this Amazon USB 3.0 Powered Hub. I also have a StarTech Gigabit network Adapter that works Great! I've tried several different External Controllers(I assume you mean Game Controllers) and the best I've found is my PS4 Controller. It connects to the SP3 and works with out any real setup. I also Purchased this last night to carry it in (it wont be in for a few days so I can't comment on the quality) STM Alley Small

u/Archer_37 · 2 pointsr/PFSENSE

I have done this and do not recommend it.

My setup was using Lenovo's NUC-like M93p and 2 Startech USB3 NICs.
It worked, and I used it for 6 or so months before switching to the 'router on a stick' setup mentioned /y/Hrast.

The issues I encountered included very CRC errors on the USB interfaces that, while everything still worked, was affecting steam in-home streaming, resulting in ~ 5-10% frame loss.

Switched to routing all WAN and inter-vlan traffic over the single onboard Intel NIC via VLANs and everything works much better. and because the gigabit standard requires full-duplex for gigabit interfaces, I can still route at full 1000mbps line speeds between vlans.

u/chuckle_butt · 2 pointsr/techsupport

Easiest would be something like a USB to RJ45 ethernet port

u/followMeToTheParabol · 2 pointsr/OLED

I wonder if we could leverage a USB port to add gigabit Ethernet?

u/JKTwice · 1 pointr/eGPU

It seems to have mPCIE, with its wireless card.

If you plan on using an eGPU, make sure you have some sort of Ethernet. Dell sells power banks for it but I’m not sure if they have Ethernet.

Good luck.

Edit: USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter here https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-USB31000S-Gigabit-Ethernet-Network/dp/B0095EFXMC

u/ICreatedSomeClones · 1 pointr/gadgets

That's pretty lame that it doesn't ship with an ethernet port. You need to get a USB 3.0 version (probably with pass through).

The Plugable and StarTech ones are good quality.

u/imaref · 1 pointr/techsupport

If you can't get this sorted out and if you have a USB 3.0 port you could try one of these (just an example--not a recommendation):

https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-Gigabit-Ethernet-Network-Adapter/dp/B0095EFXMC

I broke the ethernet port on my old laptop and have been using one of these ever since (I believe the brand name on mine is ASIX).

u/Drivingmecrazeh · 1 pointr/techsupport

Why bother replacing the motherboard, when you can just get a USB ethernet adapter? I would try that well before going the new motherboard route for someone who has never replaced one before.

https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-Gigabit-Ethernet-Network-Adapter/dp/B0095EFXMC

u/Sovos · 1 pointr/networking

Could try to different NIC that supports VLAN. Here's one for $20 you could use with laptops. Easier to carry than a switch.

u/Reygle · 1 pointr/techsupport

ITX machine huh?

Sure, you can use USB3 for gigabit as well.

u/el_heffe80 · 1 pointr/homelab

Woa, that is dirt cheap. I have had something similar and it was a POS. Fell apart rather quickly and stopped working altogether a week after the case fell off. Anyways- why not spend 10x as much and get a USB 3.0 Gigabit adapter?

These ones from Startech are actually properly good: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-Gigabit-Ethernet-Network-Adapter/dp/B0095EFXMC

And cheap! :)

Just make sure you have a USB 3.0 port.

u/construktz · 0 pointsr/SuggestALaptop

You would do very well with the Acer Aspire V7. It has an i5-4500U, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Nvidia GT 750M graphics and a 14" 1080p touch display.

It also weighs 4.4lbs and gets up to 8 hours of battery life. It would be ideal for moving back and forth. It does not, however, have an ethernet port, but that is easily remedied by a USB to RJ-45 Adapter.
