I was amazed that this turned up early (always nice when that happens). Initial impressions were really good, nicely packaged item, looks really well-made. Micro USB has a very firm connection, no danger of this falling out - I have had slack connectors but this is reassuringly firm, with a satisfying 'click' on connect. Some have mentioned it gets warm (it is supposed to) - it does, but not significantly hot. OK so the test, I plugged it into the micro USB slot on my Linx 10 Windows tablet, plugged in an Ethernet cable, and bam! connection straightaway. No messing about, no connection issues, no software issues, works straight out the box. I was connected to my works' network and the connection was super-fast. Didn't do a speed-test but wow! definitely did what it was supposed. LEDs flash and show it is connected and working.
The biggest surprise was that it also works with my (rooted) OnePlus One phone (Cyanogen 13 Android 6) which I wasn't expecting. I checked the Plugable website, and it said it wouldn't. I have attached a screengrab showing it connected and upgrading some apps from Google Play Store, and photos of the adapter plugged in with lights glowing (apologies for quality). I checked this was definitely connected by switching it to airplane mode before doing so; our WiFi is restricted at work so can't really log in for more than 10 seconds anyway. It definitely works. Can't comment about whether a non-rooted example would work, just that mine did. I am now considering buying another for my phone! Speeds looked really good too, very fast connection.Again, didn't test it but hope this helps.
I decided to buy this on the strength of the reviews, I'm glad I did. Definitely worth it.
