Hi all,
My laptop NIC just died and i am looking for something to use for wired gigabit LAN access for this laptop. I've seen some USB adapter devices that could do it, but i can't seem to find some real insight, testing or reviews of such devices. Unfortunately, i only have USB2 ports, so that would theoretically limit the speed to 480 Mbit/s, but if in any case if it were a USB3 device, speed would only be limited by the Laptop's USB implementation and not possibly also that of the device.
Anyone have some advice on what (else) i can do for this Laptop to get the fastest possible network connection?
