    Reliable + Plug and Play
    The adapter is a great hack for devices, even PCs, when there is no physical ethernet port available. I do not use WIFI in my home, so this is vital to my hardwired network for connectivity. I use it daily and have NOT had any issues with the plug and play ability: Works great on my Amazon fires, Android phone, and a 10 year old Macbook Pro. Definitely worth the money.
